What he saidI don't think it's a secret that the Scottish people are more in favour of staying in the EU than what the English are, as the polls in England are showing that it's still pretty evenly split.
Having said that, the SNP might want a new referendum to beak away from England if the votes go in favour of leaving the EU, they'll only ask for one if they are 100% sure that this time they'll win it.
They was left looking foolish last time, and if they lose another one and the Scots decide that being part of Great Britain is more important than being part of the EU, then the SNP might aswell close its doors and never be seen again, and I wouldn't have thought Sturgeon would take that risk, at least not just yet.
They claim Scotland is a.money pit butI think that ultimately, Scotland being a part of the EU would be more beneficial to them than just being a part of GB as a whole. England can afford to be on its own, but Scotland seems to get an unfair shake economically and support wise being a part of GB, especially if it means they have to be excluded from the EU entirely to do so. Does anyone think that GB will put up a huge fuss letting go of Scotland? Do you think it could even escalate into military action?
They need to stick with UK at least until the EU disintegratesAfter whats happened in the last 24 hours, now might be a good time to revive this thread.
There's no doubt that the whole of Scotland voted to stay in the EU, but because the UK as a whole voted out, they'll be coming out with us aswell unless they do push for their own independence again.
The question to the Scottish people will be what's most important? Being a UK citizen or being an EU citizen? And that's a question that I'm not sure people are willing to make just yet.
why join something that is crumbling to duct ?The Scots have a bad choice. Stay with England where thy have most links or get independence and join the EU. I think it will choose the former even if the hate England.
