Say there was another ref. And yes won 52% to 48%. Would those that voted yes be happy if the other side went on and on about having another vote?

The EU have been fair to Scotland and invested in many projects, especially rural infrastructure.
The Westminster Government have been unfair to Scotland and not invested in its infrastructure.

Perhaps the money that the kind folk of the EU invested in Scottish infrastructure was taken from money kindly donated to the EU by the UK

...”Same old tired arguments.
Currencey......oor £, bawbees, who cares? Do you think that Gandhi spent hours fretting over oh dear what currency should we use.
Trade agreements etc how did other independent countries like Norway/Estiona etc manage to survive.
Scotland managing it's own money/business will be just fine and thrive.

Why are people like you so desperate to keep Scotland within a clearly failed union, if we were such a drain on the UK surely it would be better to allow us to leave. No one as ever answered that question.”

That’s an odd lense you view Scottish independence through, comparing yourselves to the suffering of the Indians during the British Raj! Ridiculous.

The second paragraph is just your xenophobic opinion. Fortunately for the rest of us (Brits) you are in the minority. ?

There's the thing... Isn't independence about being in a position of not having to be concerned about the fairness/unfairness of third party bureaucracies...

************************

i am not desperate to keep Scotland in the Union but it would be my clear preference. If the will is there to leave you are welcome to go - but i would hate you to leave when the public who vote have no idea what they have voted on - and the core issues of surviving as an independant nation are not addressed properly. If the SNIP are so keen that it is in Scotland's best interset to leave then let them properly answer the fundamental questions raised and have ready-to-go plans that they can share with the electorate on the issues i mentioned and several other core subjects for an independant nation. Then, if the public agree, they will vote to leave and we wil; waive you goodbye! And if we are kind, we may even give you a decent trade agreement of the type that we are asking from the bullying EU - this may help you before you become ensnared by the Buaeracy and rules of new masters who you have much less in common with - that is if you mangage to get the new currency and economic track record and other issues necessary to join the club.

Not such a thing in a democracy. Did the Referendum Act define it to be as such - did it define a timescale before a repeat. No. They could have (as in the fixed term parliament act) - but they didn't.

And nobody needs repeat a clear mistaken typo error unless they think it's somehow funny.

Really. The fact that the SNIP were happy, campaigned as a once in a generation, why on earth should Westminster now agree to another disruptive and divisive vote when they need all energies for post Brexit plans and now the added headache of COVID!

So, while avoiding the core issues again, why do you not have a go at addressing the BIG fundamental issue that Scotland and the SNIP will have to face rather than deflecting. That is the substance of whether to leave or stay. What is your opinion - you are a die hard remainer but sound like you want Scotland to leave?? So focus on the other points and let's see if you have solutions that i believe make it an absolute fools errand and a catastophic mistake for Scotland to leave? Try and prove my wrong by responding on the core issues

Reply to post 1351.
It is not just the SNP that want Independence, confirms you are out of touch with the Scots political scene
42% of Scottish Labour members support independence.......[mind you that is probably only about 57 folk.;)]
The labour downfall started here https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/20...-Xzsu2khZhTuv9JnLdPdYZ8jr6Bfj5ISpAfnBiisyDELq

'Don't know what they are voting for' is utter drivel.

Brexiteers on the other hand really did not have a clue of what they voted for, fed the biggest load of lies and guff and fell for it hook line and sinker.

Thanks for being the first on here to at least attempt to answer the question that many Scots are asking (y)
