Should Scotland have the opportunity to vote for independence again seeing as all constituencies voted to stay in the EU and if so when?
And for Scottish members, would your vote change

Well some are saying that if Scotland broke away from the UK then they would have to reapply to join the EU,they would have to take the Euro as their currency as all new EU countries,they would have to go under a massive austerity programme and they may end up like Greece.
But i voted Don't care. Last edited by Northern Monkey; 24-06-2016 at 08:43 AM. |

There's not a chance in hell. England would remove free movement of people the only way to get to Scotland (assuming you're not flying) from the EU is to travel through England making it easy for people to come here illegally. Scotland would adopt the failing Euro, and because of Scotland's bad economy they would not be a contributor to the Europeon Union leaving France and Germany to look after them financially it's not going to happen.

The stumpy little bitch is horrendous and revolts me. I wish she would piss off - preferably to Brussels.

It's a tricky one, it would have to be ideally timed - long enough from this referrendum to see the way things are going, but also before Brexit is fully implemented in a few years' time.
What bull**** is this? For one, there are already sea routes to Europe from the east coast of Scotland that could be easily expanded. For another - even if ports didn't already exist - it wouldn't exactly be impossible to build them? Scotland believe it or not, is not landlocked. |

No xenophobia or slur intended, and I will delete my post. But I take exception to you labelling me xenophobic.

My wife's grandad is a little Irish fellow called Patrick but I still manage not to go around calling Irish people "Paddies". The tone of the post made it perfectly clear that the word was being used intending offense Kirk and that is xenophobia... if you don't want to be labelled xenophobic, don't do it?

I think we should, but only if the SNP are sure they would win, otherwise it's a waste of even more money
The Scots have spoken and want to remain in EU, 62%

I've seen a figure quoted that another referrendum should only be called if a significant number of polls are showing 60%+ support. That seems fairly sensible. We wouldn't want some result where something low like 52% constitutes and accurate indicator of desires for a country's entire political future. Oh wait...

there is an irony that during the scottish ref Scots were saying they want control and that decisions were made in London etc and England said "oh f off Scotland"
forward on 2 years and england were saying they want control and that decisions were made in Brussels etc and they voted for to leave |
