I haven't been following the news, would it not be a close vote again?
|
|
By:
You would think so, Saddo.
|
|
By:
why don't you and your mates move up there so you can have a vote?
|

By:
Sturgeon has got herself into a right mess now.
|
|
By:
she's looking for brexit/trump type bounce
 |
|
By:
Once she gets independence will she stop blaming the nasty englischers??
|
|
By:
She does like to use the word hard when referencing brexit
|
|
By:
UK had a vote on their future but she didnt like the result so wants another vote.
Build the wall!! |

Former YES voter signing in to vote a defiant NO this time round.
NAW Nicola, NAW. If you think we get a rough deal now with Westminster, wait till Brussells gets a hold of us  |
|
By:
former yes voter here as well,, NO NO NO now though,,shouldnt be another vote
|
|
By:
I don't quite understand, plat. Brussels had hold of you/us last time you voted.

Trump has a Team of wall Builders ,could be plenty of Work over here for them

By:
You Nigels aint getting rid of us that easy.
I would say 90% of the people I know, voted YES the last time round. Every one of them have said they will be voting NO if there's a next time round. Wee Jimmy Merkhel....just say naw!! |
|
By:
Can Scotland hold a binding IN OUT referendum without the blessing of Westminster? I thought not, but nobody seems to be mentioning anything like that on the news so presumably they can???
Crazy to have given them that power IMO. |
|
By:
No.
|
|
By:
Her tactic is to force May to get parliament to say NO they cannot have an independence vote. This gives sturgeon the moral high ground and show how arrogant and nasty the English are. It gives her the great club to bash the english with - you know, 'look how they are holding us back'
She uses words like 'the brick wall of intransigence. I told 'em that we should have been much nicer to that Wallace chappie. They still resent it!!!! |
|
By:
I think Sturgeon is counting on it being a low turnout with so many being referedum weary after indyref1 and Brexit, a low turnout of hardcore nationalists is her only hope, I don't get any sense from Scottish people that this is even that big an issue for them atm anyway.

Wee Nicki even has her own BIOGRAPHER!!! He is being interviewed on sky now.

By:
If Scotland cannot call a referendum without Westminster's approval, why hasn't that fact been mentioned on the news at all?
|
|
By:
How certain are you Wesdag? Or was it a guess?
|
|
By:
I do think it was mentioned, but it facts do tend to get lost in presentation by these clowns in the news media.

There is a process to be followed - she can't just chuck her toys out of the pram.

By:
Cheers! It's literally just been mentioned on the news now!
 Apparently Westminster has to agree but (according to the very biased Salmond) the British PM wouldn't dare going against the wishes of the Scottish Parliament. |
|
By:
we voted to stay in the uk.
therefore the result was 52-48. we can't dissemble the vote into regions? If that was the case... Scotland should have revolted every time a tory government got into power. we vote labour and get thatcher? we vote labour and get John Major? we vote snp/labour and get Eton Mess. Nicola FK off. we are part of the UK. |
|
By:
Saddo, the game has changed now. We don't want to be part of the EUSSR/Brussells Caliphate.
|
|
By:
Zorro nails it.
The EU ref was not regional. Scotland is part of the UK. Which part of the ballot paper dis the SNP not understand? General elections are but when a local conservative wass elected and Blair became PM we saw no revolt or call for a repeat election. Sturgeon is in a corner and fighting hard. She will lose. |
|
By:
So... Scotland votes for a split from the UK. Spain vetos their attempt to join the EU as an independent country. Not part of the EU and not part of the UK... what next??
|
|
By:
Another thing... everyone seems to have had a vote about leaving the union. Everyone except the English... where's our referendum on that matter?
|
|
By:
What do the Welsh make of all of this, nobody ever asks them anything, never even mentioned.
Is there any call for Welsh independance? or doess the lack of oil make it a no goer? |
|
By:
If Scotland get their independence how long will Sturgeon wait before declaring another referendum just to check its still what Scotland wants ?
Ye right ! So she wants a referendum before we leave the EU, we give her what she wants,she loses then two years later the new leader will ask for another one after we are out, it will never end. |
|

saddo
I don't quite understand, plat. Brussels had hold of you/us last time you voted. The relevance is saddo that in one breath #Sturgeon says she wants to take power back from Westminster whilst in the next says she wants to hand it to Brussels. |

Cheers! It's literally just been mentioned on the news now! Laugh Apparently Westminster has to agree but (according to the very biased Salmond) the British PM wouldn't dare going against the wishes of the Scottish Parliament. May has grounds for saying no Torquemada. When Westminster consented last time an agreement was signed saying that it was a once in a generation referendum and that both Westminster and Holyrood would respect the vote. However I doubt she'll play that card but tell Sturgeon she will have to wait until the full details of Brexit are known. |

By:
has she made the dont fancy but wd do list ?
|
|
By:
The EU is and has always been a red herring.
Sturgeon has used it as a means of calling for indyref2. We have a fiscal deficit of £15B which is about 10% of GDP with the EUs limit for entry at 3.4% Not impossible to get in but the EU would demand cuts in our expenditure even worse than those imposed on Greece. That GDP deficit is the worst in the developed world btw. |
|
By:
Amazing the MSM dont mention any of those points aka.
|
|
By:
Sturgeon has a very sympathetic press in Scotland IS.
But I can assure you everything I've posted is the truth. The figures are from GERS if you want to check them. |
|
By:
I konw your figures are correct, i was just trying to point out why the MSM are being dishonest with their public.
Sturgeon probably had a case before the arse fell out of north sea fuel, she comes across as extremely think. |
|
By:
The EU wouldn't demand anything from Scotland as a precursor to its joining because Spain would veto Scotlands application from the get-go. Spain has its own problems with Catalunyan independence demands so is hardly likely to welcome a break away nation, such as Scotland, into the EU. Scottish membership into the EU wont happen... ever. So stop all this bullsh1t talk about it.
