How are 'residents in Scotland' defined?

By how many deep fried mars bars one has ever eaten?

You Scots want independence?

Past... Some do, but most don't. Some of the 'some' struggle with simple maths and so think they are in a majority.

According to CNN, more than half did not want independence, but even more than half did....

Wild guess here.................the Electoral Register perhaps?

Scoots is even more confused than usual.

I was around Madrid last Sunday on the day of the referendum vote and I was watching these 'Spanish Nationalist' supporters coming back from a rally in central Madrid and they seemed to be a good mix of youths with Spanish flag capes and well dressed, middle class couples and older respectfully dressed citizens (the types that stepped out of church on Sunday in Britain). Not the types that you would see at a nationalist rally on the streets of the U.K. There was no trouble and people did not seem guilty or worried, walking home, even alone with a Spanish flag or cape on their person. Try that with a Union Jack flag around a trendy left wing area of London (Primrose Hill) and see what you get..

I'm one of them.

We just want independence.

I'm happy to be the one to break it to you, but you have already achieved independence from the Bastard English bastards. When you moved to Munich. And just so you know, you're not the only one celebrating...

Get your facts straight.. The majority of residents in Scotland voted to remain. 64% of Scots born in Scotland voted to leave. EU Citizens living in Scotland voted to remain for fear of loosing the right to be there. Now they're going to loose that right anyway.

Understand there is a difference between resident and citizen.

As a resident in Germany I'm not allowed to vote in national elections. But I am allowed to vote in UK elections that have little impact on me until Brexit comes alone.

Normally I stay out of the way, I'm impartial. But the day someone comes along, lies to EU citizens that they would loose their status and holds a national referendum on the EU 24 months later after the Scottish referendum, that pisses a lot of people off.

Racist

Unlike you the Scottish parliament, who decided who could take part in the referendum, decided not to be racist and ageist.

They simply decided anyone who actually lived in Scotland who they considered was mature enough should have a say in the country they actually live in future. Since you didn't and don't live in Scotland, like my Scottish friends at the time, you had no say.

The well dressed church attending Madrilleno it the archetypal Franco supporter.
