Because they needed the revenue to subsidise overspending on welfare and Scotland.
Everyone's going on about a second referendum, but hasn't TM got to give a green light for it, if so, what makes you think she will?

...hoping for EU cash under the guise of being a underprivileged small place.
Trouble is, with UK gone, France likely to go and Netherlands similar.... other than the Germans....who exactly is going to fund the Federal States of Europe?

She will approve it. She can't lose either way... Scotland leaving uk removes plenty of Labour MPs from Westminster. Scotland staying wipes out the current First Minister

Sturgeon and the SNP are the most insidious political party. They hide the truth with their weasel words, making noises about how they have a mandate to keep Scotland in the EU when they know full well they will do and say anything to promote their one trick pony politics to leave the UK. They are inept at managing the economy due to the same single blinkered policy.
I just hope the Scottish people will reject them as the charlatans they really are.

Scotland voting out removes over 50 SNP MP's plus others.
The U.K. will enjoy generations of Tory rule if Scotland votes YES to Independence, of course Westminster will approve it

Did you see Ms Crankie being interviewed on ITV this evening? She had no real answers other than waffle.
Even for a politician, it was pathetic. But hey, whatever floats her boat.

Edinburgh bloke on BBC (where else) radio tonight, saying that he thought there should be another referendum because Better Together made a big thing about being in the EU during the last referendum and now the UK is leaving the Scottish people had been lied to.
Yes, lied to. Even though we hadn't had the EU referendum at that point or even the General Election that elected the Tories who promised a referendum which everyone thought Remain would win.
And these people have a vote.

My biggest thought for those in Scotland who wish for independence to stay within the EU. Do you think the EU will change dramatically if/when UK leaves it, and therefore reduces the contributions going into the pot? If not, why not? If you do think it will change, what do you think will happen, and will it still be the same entity you want to be part of now?

You know when you need something and you just can't find it, even though since you used it last time it's been there right until you need it?
Thats the fag packet the SNP did their economic calculations on the back of, the last time they had a referendum.

Scotland has a deficit bigger that Greece. They will need more public sector workers to run the new Goverment deparments required which already is 14% of employed people. They will be forced to use the Euro.
Independence would be the silliest thing Scotland could voters for.

Nicola: Good news! I found the fag packet down the back of the drawer!
Alex: Great!
Nicola: Oh, hang on...
Alex: What?
Nicola: We had oil at $100 a barrel. It's $50 now.
Alex: Maybe we shouldn't mention that
Nicola: Alex?
Alex: Yes?
Nicola: Do we still want to keep the Pound?
Alex: Errr...
Nicola: And Alex, it says here we will benefit from closer ties to the US, citing business deals with a Mr Trump as an example of Scotland's openness for business. Oh hang on, didn't you two have a quarrel?
Alex: Yes, told him a thing or two.
Nicola: He hasn't been to any of his golf courses recently. I wonder what he is up to

Alex: Nicola, did you phone that bloke up in Brussels to ask if we could join the EU if we won independence from the UK? You said you would check before you made that speech about demanding another referendum.
Nicola: Do I have to do everything around here?

hahahaha - you haven't listened to many Leave voters have you ....
And if the Tories had stuck to their manifesto promise of safeguarding the UK position in the single market then Indyref2 wouldn't be happening.

She does indeed. And I think she will because she thinks (probably correctly) that Scots will vote to stay in the UK and that will truly be it done for 25yrs.
