they can demand a referendum all they like, there is no evidence that there is strong support for it in Scotland

Honestly if I had to guess I'd say it'll still be 45% or above, but I don't think it's at over 50% yet. |

One thing I've never figured out is why Orkney and Shetlands consistently go for Lib Dem . My guess is that they're pro-Union (like Aberdeen, for oil reasons?) but not big enough ****s to vote Tory?

This is the point though.
If the Scots support Parties wanting another referendum. Then no democratically elected force or individual should deny that referendum being held. That is dictatorship. By the same token then what was in the Con manifesto may not be morally or legally carried out either. Anyhow, Nicola Sturgeon is the longest serving leader in power in any Nation of the UK. She's just won a strong new term, the 4th for the SNP. I don't think she needs any lectures from Johnson & his henchmen/ women on democracy or what she's been elected to see through. For me, it's a pity she's not running the whole of the UK. Last edited by joeysteele; 09-05-2021 at 12:48 PM. |

For starters, not everyone that votes for snp wants independence and secondly, there were more voters for unionist parties than there were for independence parties, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it sherlock

This isn't a vote for actual independence now, it's to the right to hold a referendum to again put the arguments for or against it. After a democratically held election too. A Con MP said on TV yesterday, it was 5 years since the last independence one. They don't even know when the last one was held. This year will mark actually 7 years since the last one with massive constitutional change occurring throughout the UK done since it too. Last edited by joeysteele; 09-05-2021 at 01:10 PM. |

Are they really going to break up the country, and turn the UK into a foreign country to Scotland on a basically 50-50 vote?

i worked as a student in shetland an age ago, and it seemed they had more in common with scandinavians than the uk. Wasn't there a vote on shetland for independence from scotland a few years ago?

Yes but they managed a staggering 8% for indy . I think they see themselves as a bit of a separate entity to either Scotland or England, but part of the British Isles nonetheless. Shetland anyway. The younger folks I've met from Orkney tend to quite like a regular jaunt to Glasgow.

Democracy is democracy, you can't have too many votes, the people should always have their say. If scottish people vote to leave, let them, if they decide not to again and want another vote in a few years time? Let them. Democracy is still democracy.
