But they are not

EU cannot compromise the security of the common market bc johnson needs to keep his hardliners happy

The wise thing would be to let the second referendum happen. People dont take kindly to being denied like that. The brexit issue is a massive change in circumstances

Brexit is first

Yes we all know they will not change


It's not just his Members
It is Johnson , own Views

It was ignored the first time because no one likes Scottish Tory propaganda so hopefully it'll be ignored again. I'll say this much though James: it's a rare quick glimpse of an admin political stance that's certainly cleared up a LOT of other questions I had previously.

:hehe:

Scotland will always be part of GB, barring an earthquake or meteor strike. GB is the "island mass" which has England, Wales, and Scotland.

They're not gonna leave the UK any time soon either, but still ;)

What.

What previous questions. I don't post about politics on here much. The Scottish Independence debate is about the only political subject I have strong views about.

It wasn't a reasoned or considered view James, the idea that everything the SNP does is some sort of nefarious independence plot is paranoid cereal box propaganda, and it somewhat explains why the moderation team has repeatedly expressed that their "hands are tied" when it comes to dealing with similar things.

Ironically in the geological past most of Scotland was attached to what is now north America and England and Wales was a part of Europe.
The Channel only appeared 10 thousand years ago or so and before that the Thames was a tributary of the prehistoric Rhine which flowed north along what is now the North Sea bed

haha this reminds me of something from when I was veeeeery young

I think Hong Kong had either just become independent or it was one of its early anniversaries, there was a thing on the news about it followed immediately with footage from the Titanic's departure (or some ship anyway) and the two things mushed into one in my young mind, so I thought Hong Kong was literally being waved off as it left the mainland to become independent ...

I was joking a bit when I said 'considered' because I was trying to stop people arguing on the forum.

The whole reason for the SNP's existence is to get independence, and I genuinely think that a big part of their pro-EU position is to contrast with the English right-wing. If Scotland became independent I bet you a lot of SNP politicians would become Eurosceptic.

No idea what you are on about with the moderation team.

He won't really morally or politically refuse to, without causing a near constitutional crisis also over it.

If the Scots swing strongly behind the SNP and its clear the Scottish Nation wants a new vote.

He really will ignore that and deny granting it too, with dire likely political consequences for him, his Party and the UK Parliament even.

10 years ago under Salmond maybe, and they have a slat to the agenda in Westminster obviously, but they've been in active government in Scotland for a significant period of time now and to describe them as a one-policy party is really off the mark. Just totally inaccurate, and quite obviously so.

Also the idea that "the SNP don't represent the views of many people up here" is bizarre given the outcome of the recent EU elections, and the fact that that they've formed a government in the last two Scottish general elections? Who are you suggesting is MORE representative?

:laugh:

Sure
every vote counts

I've checked the results and they got 38% in the last European election and 37% in the 2017 UK parliament election. The most votes of any party, but quite a bit short of half.

Going back to this... the Liberal Democrats and Labour are unionist parties also, and the Labour party has the most most left-wing leader they have had in many years. So anti-independence is not just a Scottish Tory thing.
