Scottish National Party & The Scottish
Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to rejoin the EU as soon as possible after claiming Scotland had been taken out of the bloc against its will because of Brexit & is writing letters to various European newspapers saying so.
Are you Scottish, if so does she speak for you? Would you like to be separated from the rest of the UK & be a part of the EU instead?

I have no problem with them having another one BUT I do think it should be properly costed and timeline, i.e. doing what Cameron should have done in the event of a leave.
Within that the SNP need to address the currency they will use, cant really be GBP and how they will create a Banking system. In addition they need to explain how they will fund their health service, Police, Fire and Schooling etc. As some is devolved this should be fairly easy to do. In addition they should ascertain, in writing, from the EU what the terms of joining the EU would be, and a timeline. They also need to address how, or even if, Scots could work in the UK.
With all the information Scotts can then make an informed choice as to where they want to be.
For me I just want an end to it all and I'd like to see the back of that ruddy woman.

Mang people do not agree with the idea that being in the EU actually is a threat to national independence... heresy for brexiters i know but shock horror not everyone actually agrees. If you make the tiniest effort to understand that then the premise of the OP falls apart and the threat of Brexit to the UK union is quite evident... But oh well the die is cast now let's just hope our country is still intact in ten years time.
I don't think there is too much doubt that membership of the EU involves relinquishing sovereignty to a greater or lesser to degree. The only real argument is how much sovereignty a member nation loses. Since I take the view you cannot be "slightly sovereign" (any more than you can be slightly pregnant) that question is moot.
I'm with ellipsis on this. I was born in Scotland, and started work for the government over 50 years ago.
Basically, you served in whichever location the Department decreed, which in my case meant first London, then NW England when services were devolved to regions. I have made my life here, but still regard myself as Scottish.
England is a part of my country, and Scottish independence would rob me of that. I'd become a stranger in my own land.
As a Brit, I have consistently been against living under the fell hand of the increasingly authoritarian EU, so in that too she fails to speak for me.

Nicola needs to accept that the people of Scotland have voted to remain in the union and any subsequent UK matters apply whether she likes it or not.. that includes leaving EU she bangs on about independence but wants to be shackled to the biggest overbearing autocratic organisation there is..? this also applies to "TheBravehearters" ...folk who are misguided.. and clearly have no understanding of how a country supports itself...Mel Gibson has much to answer to
//Steg that was tongue in cheek and you well know it.....anything that glorifies the Scottish "thing" without so much as a nod to the realities of life only encourages the ill informed to aspire to something totally irresponsible and potentially catastrophic for the nation.....//
