Downing Street has insisted that Scottish people do not want to second independence referendum – but has shied away from saying it would block a new plebiscite.

I seem to be ridiculously behind on politics recently

They can want it all they want but they wont be given membership straight away like they think and it is up to all members of the EU to decide if they want them

Voting to remain in one union but then voting to leave another which is closer, has more historical ties and is your largest market.

I bet Nicola Sturgeon's answer to the best form of defence in the face of a serial killer is to kill yourself.

I think it will all have to wait until we see what is on the table leaving the European Union.
Doubt Scotland would be welcome on their own, especially as the euro is a no no.
She might shoot herself in the foot and be on the way to jobseekers if she calls it and loses.

Plus Theresa is now poised to push that button.

The EU is teetering on the edge of maybe surviving but most probably crumbling with the likes of Netherlands and France perhaps looking at it... I think thiis is a bad idea for Scotland - if by the time they do get another referendum it might already be too late

Yes Theresa, say you will let them have a referendum, but do it in your own time in late 2019 once we've left the EU.

It comes down to a straight choice.

Governed by Westminster or governed by Brussles.


I'd check out the track records of both first.

.....so thread title is misleading...no announcement

.....just more whining from ms fishychops......................if there is to be further referendum

would decision need to go to vote at parliament?

......just because many scots voted to stay in euro does not automatically follow that given changes with brexit they will vote differently re leaving UK

You can take the EU promise totally out of the equation when it comes to there being good reason for a second vote to be honest. There was a whole document of "promises" drawn up at the last minute to sway the vote and 90% of it turned out to be straight up lies .
