Scotland will be independent in 5 years
 
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newss...cid=spartanntp


Nicola Sturgeon has reaffirmed her intention to call another referendum on Scottish independence once the final details of Brexit have been worked out.
The First Minister used an appearance on a US talk show over the weekend to declare her belief that a majority of Scots would back a Yes vote in a possible IndyRef2 within the next five years.
The timing of another constitutional vote has the subject of intense debate among grassroots SNP members and senior politicians in recent months, with some urging the party leader to stage a plebiscite on the issue this year, while others urge a more cautious approach.

I'll say the same thing to Scotland as I said to the Brexiters during the Brexit Referendum.

You can't beat a bigger block than yourselves, the UK as a whole is a bigger block than Scotland individually therefore will survive a lot better initially and will get all of the better deals and trade blocks during negotiations if Scotland were to pull out of the UK, just like the UK can't beat a union of 27 other countries in negotiations.

However personally I might plan on moving to Scotland if they vote to leave just so I can escape the Tories and Labour.

if Scotland wants to be independent so be it. I don't think the SNP will find it that easy

We settled this in 2014. It's a bad idea.

Yes but after Brexit
the SNP in Scotland and Westminster
will be demanding a Vote.

I think it's fair to give Scotland another referendum just like I think the fair thing to do in the face of a no deal Brexit is another referendum asking whether we want a no deal exit or another option.

The situation has changed since the last referendum, the majority of Scotland didn't vote for Brexit and it's only fair they get the choice of whether or not they want to be with us or not.

Give us the choice of choosing a no deal brexit, give Scotland the choice of whether or not they want to stay with us.

This pretty much sums up my opinion

ALL of scotland voted as brits in the brexit vote, britain voted to leave, so britain leaves..doesnt matter if you are welsh irish english or even scottish...you voted as a brit, not as a scot or a welshman...so you exit as a brit.

leaving the EU is a big thing, even though they would still be leaving the EU as they would have to reapply to join and its not a foregone conclusion they would be accepted
