The HQ of our nation of equal partners says we're not allowed to vote on the A50 bill. So we take no responsibility. Any $£%£ ups from now on are squarely on the doormat of her at no. 10 Downing St.

You forget about the 50+ MPs, mostly SNP, who are in Westminster, representing the Scots. They are absolutely allowed to vote on the A50 bill.

So yes, nation of equal partners. It'd be absurd for Scottish people to be represented twice, to be honest.

Scots share the responsibility for Brexit.

And they will get to share in the spoils too. It's only fair.

[Orville]

Some people failed to notice that the 38% of Scots who voted to Leave the EU were decisive. If they had voted the other way around then Remain would have secured the win by 51% to 49%. Scots share the responsibility for Brexit.

Fair enough. In that case, yes, he's a thick twat

I was being more general really....

To be fair to Scooter, the Daily Record is anything but a pro-indy paper, so if they were issuing their usual Labour propaganda, that story wouldn't have been there.

Funniest thing you have said for a while.

Especially with the tripe you post and the sources you quote.

No. Scots voted to leave the UK by 56% I think it was, which came down to 45% when no votes from EU nationals were included.

Scotland for the Scotish. Get those funny foreigners out.

Isn't it slightly ironic that, according to you, that EU nationals resulted in a No vote. Viva EU nationals.

[MrMarkyMark]

Because I read the results. Din't you?

There are many articles on the subject. One linked below. Many people born outside Scotland, usually from the EU or England, did not want to loose access to the EU hence a NO vote from them. Then it was driven by things such as the NHS and Currency.

"Independence referendum figures revealed: Majority of Scots born here voted YES while voters from elsewhere in UK said NO"


Not trying to be offensive but you should try to become more informed before expressing an opinion.

So Scottish nationals wanted independence from the UK in the same way that uk nationals did from the EU?
.

No. Scots voted to leave the UK by 56% I think it was, which came down to 45% when no votes from EU nationals were included.

Scot's and EU nationals voted 62% to remain in the EU in the recent referendum. It's clear to me residents in Scotland wish to remain part of the EU. This pressure will likely push residents to leave the UK too.

Where does it say NHS and currency?.

Not in that link, but those were the driving factors. The NHS is being run into the ground by the Tories, so that'll push the cause now. Currency is all that remains to be sorted.

And my point wasn't about the independence ref. It was about the EU ref. Where is the evidence of what people wanted and why hey voted as they did?

I've seen plenty of findings about why the UK voted to leave, most contradictory of each other.

What you are posting as fact appears no more than your opinion of why you think people voted as they did.

It's clear from the sets of results that non-Scottish people don't feel part of the EU though.

This is not dissimilar to Sinn Fein's long held belief that Northern Ireland's Unionists don't really count.
