Brexit bill passed into law, House of Lords to go.

[PurpleGorilla]

Absolutely.

When it comes to referendum a clear majority should be in favour. Not 2 or 3%. Otherwise you'll have a divided nation until kingdom come. Scotland remains a very divided country even four years later. You think the remainers are just going to go away? The Brexiters will die off shortly leaving behind an even larger remain group.

What size majority is needed for indie2?

For a clear majority.

60% seems reasonable apparently. I would have thought 1 vote was adequate but other countries do 60% for change so that's the going rate.

You'd not be left with a broken country at the end of it. Marriages would be intact, friends would remain that. 50/50 is ugly it puts neighbour against neighbour. Don't expect reconciliation anytime soon.

60:40 then?

No. I disagree

If 1 more voter wants Scotland to leave the UK than remain, Sturgeon will be all over it.

It won't stop division at all. It attempts to hide it. The winners will be angry. The losers will worry. People will still want the outcome they voted for. The winners will call for another vote. The losers will try and avoid it. Couples won't suddenly see things differently.

Sturgeon is the equivalent of Farage. She won't stop. She will want a straight majority.

Merkel thrown you out yet?

Lots of people were terrified into voting Remain by all the scaremongering. As Project Fear recedes into the background so will the Remain cause.

Anyways in 1974 EC referendum, the SNP campaigned to LEAVE the European Community. And when they lost, they complained that England had dragged them into the EC.

If the evil English ever decide to go back you Scots Nat's will undoubtedly change your minds again !

The SNP's view on the UK's membership of the EU, or any policy for that matter, will always be whatever suits their anti-English, anti-Westminster, anti-UK agenda.

Let's hope that Britain's WTO membership isn't just through the EU.

"The United Kingdom has been a WTO member since 1 January 1995 and a member of GATT since 1 January 1948. It is a member State of the European Union (more info). All EU member States are WTO members, as is the EU"

Alas, we delegated our WTO schedules to the EU. Perhaps in hindsight, this shouldn't have been done in such a way as would make undelegation non-trivially revocable.

Well quite. If Britain has to reapply it will require not a majority, but unanimity. With Argentina being on the panel, that may take a while.

I suppose we could invade or something - just to point out how "unfair" and "undemocratic" it all is (in the GB9/PG land of make believe).
