EU's chief negotiator agrees that independent Scotland would gain automatic entry

[DodgyAgent]

not just stole our treasures but inflicted us with governments we did not elect.

The SNP are more conservative than the conservatives would like. Din't you know?

Land reform be one example.
Increase stamp duty taxes.

They're doing the Tories out of a job.

She's Tony Blair's secret love child?

not just stole our treasures but you took us in when we were broke fed us and taught our women how a lady should be treated

FTFY

Scotland has and is a country long before the UK was. Of course it is a country. What utter nonsense.

I thought you would have at least used blue

Ok, I may have goaded you a little there, yes it is a country and a fine tradition, but its not a sovereign state which the EU deems a requirement to entry, it cannot be forced out of something it is not a member of. If during the next indy ref, Scotland as a whole over for Independence, but Edinburgh votes to stay, do you think they could stay in the UK as the rest leaves? Which is in effect what you are asking in respect to the UK and leaving the EU

You still have the Krankies

but inflicted us with governments we did not elect.

If the SNP stood in more than just scotland you might have a better chance of getting the government you elected, as it stands the UK, which Scotland is a part of, got the government it voted for.

You may see you yourselves as Scottish, but that is like me saying I am from Yorkshire, doesn't mean a squat at national politics level where you are British

Scotland is back to being a region now rather than a country. D

Vote freedom (from Germany)!

You are ahead of Cornish, but only just in terms of respect

[TestMangler]

Wasn't what I asked. The Conservatives are party of low taxes (in theory).

LOL

Did you research that, or are you just reciting SNP propaganda?

So, Scotland gets the Government it Wants at Westminster, Two out of Three Times from 2014...

Out of the 18 General Elections since 1945, Scotland has got the party at Westminster which won the Scottish popular vote 12 times.
9 times Scotland voted Labour, and got Labour. That is, half the time! A further 3 times Scotland voted Conservative, and got Conservative.

This compares with England which has also got what it voted for 12 times. That is 7 times England voted Conservative and got Conservative, and 5 times England voted Labour and got Labour.

3 times, England voted Conservative but Labour won. So England getting the government it did not elect, right?
