What I meant was the reasons to leave..ie making own decisions, controlling own finances etc

Scotland think they will get everything on the plate from the EU but the truth is they wont

I think it's a little different because we were in the EU 40 years we've been in the Union 400. We have a land border with Scotland and none with the EU. The ties are different. I've been very surprised by the hatred some Scots seem to feel towards the English, I guess history takes a looooong time to lay to rest. I've never thought about them with animosity.

Scotland has it's own parliament and are part of all votes and elections. Many of those running things in the EU are unelected.

I think if the people really want to go then they should but I think the SNP are pushing the agenda for it too much just 2 years after stay result.

Brexit is about immigration, Scottish independence is about escaping Westminster

Brexit is about escaping EU rules not immigration

[Firewire]

In your opinion

[Denver]

EU is destroying countries left right and centre with the ridiculous rules

[Firewire]

Is it?

[Greg!]

What ridiculous rules from the EU are destroying the UK Adam?

[Denver]

Yes look at Greece and Spain

Now they want to take away Spain tourism with a silly brexit deal which will furthermore destroy Spains poor economy

[Northern Monkey]

Well in principle they're probably pretty similar.Regaining control from an overarching power.If i was a Scot i'm not sure which way i'd go.I'm not sure the benefits outweigh the pitfalls.
I support Scotlands right to choose(again) though.

That's a bit sweeping, it formed part of the push to leave, sovereignty seems to play a huge role as well, yet sovereignty for Scotland seems to be viewed as beneficial, but it's treated like a dirty word when used in the context of Brexit
