    Scooter. A few short months ago you were passionately arguing for Scottish Independence. Even though all the good & great said clearly that that would mean iScotland being outside of the EU and having to re-apply for membership.

    A Brexit could well give the SNP the balls to call a second referendum. Which in turn could lead to an independent Scotland, outside of the EU. Which would have been the same position as if the first referendum had been won by "Yes".

    Yet now you are arguing for the UK to remain inside the EU. What changed?
    Nothing has changed, I still hope Scotland becomes independent from Westminster, as do the majority of Scots. I'm happy for Scotland to be part of the EU. I believe the EU serves small countries very well.

    It's Westminster that's making our lives miserable, not the EU. A bunch of career politicians with no interest in the common good.

        That would be the 45% majority would it?

            Bollocks! I am a Scot and I wasn't even allowed a vote.
            Anyway, the results are in and your "once-in-a-generation" attempt at gaining Independence fell way short. Now with a plummeting Oil price there is even less chance of a second referendum. Get over it scooter!

              Of course not.

                  And 0% of the non-resident Scots. Should have been open to all UK citizens. I'd have voted with you.

                    Unless the UK fell into a complete heap post Brexit, you really think the majority of our country folk would leave to join the EU on $50-70/barrel oil prices? Oh and keep the pound according to Nicola's latest comments. You're saying that the people of Scotland have more affinity with the likes of Romania (as a random example) than England, Wales and Northern Ireland? You're a funny fish.

                      Which constitutes a minority of those allowed a vote. Unlucky!
