How Many Of Our Scottish Abers Vote To Leave?

[cassa333]

Autumn next year is Nicola Sturgeons preferred date for another independence referendum.

What would our Scottish ABers vote for if it were a straight in or out question?

[murraymints]

nope !! better in the union..we do NOT have the resources to be independant...regardless of what the "bravehearters" think !!

[Jackdaw33]

If it were up to English voters you would already be independent.

[murraymints]

now now Jack..I knows yoooo lurves me xx

While I have every sympathy for the Scots, in that they will be dragged out of the EU, kicking and screaming against their will, Minty is right.

Nothing has changed and I too, can't see that Scotland could make a go of independence.

Out

[-Talbot-]

I seriously doubt that, JD.

Loving Minty's honesty.

[murraymints]

I also voted out for EU ! I am a realist and think with my head not SNP propoganda head up the tartan bum motivated heart !

[ToraToraTora]

the thing is that the SNP don't want independence they just want out of the UK so they can subjugated in the EU. Anyway I think if they have any sense, and minty above demonstrates that some do, then they'll vote to stay in the UK again and again.....etc as the neverendum goes on. Could become an annual thing until Queen Nicola gets her way!

[anneasquith]

When? Now or in the autumn 2018?

[Prudie]

It would be interesting, wasn't it reasonably close last time and that was before Brexit was known about?

[murraymints]

TTT Queen Nicola thinks she aready rules the world ! her weekly gaffes in Holyrood are embarassing and her staff is no better..inept and in some selfish money grabbing so and sos...

[murraymints]

Prud..opinion does not seem to have changed despite Brexit..most folk can separate the issue....Nicola is not as popular as you may think down south...

I don't know when the Mexican wall is being built but let's make a start on Hadrians Wall with lots of barbed wire and anti sturgeon electric fences.

Murraymints....".we do NOT have the resources to be independant..". Whenever anyone says that I marvel at how so many countries of both smaller land mass and/or smaller (some far smaller) population continue to do well as independent countries, and therefore presumably achieving the impossible in the process. In at least one of these the comparison is very striking and that country regularly outperforms the UK on multiple levels. What is in fact being suggested is that the people of Scotland are particularly useless.......or as the man famously said: "We're all doooomed, I tell ye".

3T, perhaps you are correct, in which case Scotland surely has the right to choose its master.......including changing opinion whenever given the opportunity to do so, just like anyone else.

"3T, perhaps you are correct, in which case Scotland surely has the right to choose its master.......including changing opinion whenever given the opportunity to do so, just like anyone else. " - absolutely karl, but stop dressing it up as "independence" when it is "alternative dependence", and the SNP is anything but "Nationalist"

[Ellipsis]

If a second referendum is held next year then, whatever the outcome, it's inevitable that Scotland will one day be independent of the UK. I'm not sure how many referendums it will take, but they'll keep having them until the vote goes that way. And once it does go that way, of course, the issue can never be debated again - especially as to let them back in would be a UK-wide vote.

So, maybe if the Scots choose to have another referendum next year, the "rump UK" should just eject them from the UK anyway as the very fact they wanted another referendum would show they were eventually going to leave, so why not just cut to the chase?

[himandme]

When you have a revote/referendum isn't that saying the majority got it wrong - to the majority who voted that's pretty insulting

[ToraToraTora]

if it does go the other way next time then they'll have to go best of three surely!

[youngmafbog]

Never works that way TTT, just like if we had another EU referendum and it went to remain they would say that is it as they would have got the vote they wanted, that is why continual referendums are ridiculous.

I think we should definitely involve the whole UK, Our Nicola would have a resounding GO! in my opinion.

//Nicola is not as popular as you may think down south...//
She is pretty popular up here tho and that was shown in the Scottish elections , and that is what counts
