Time for Independence ?

[stewarty27]

Its been 4 years since the Independence referendum. Just wondered what the thoughts of the good people on here are a wee bit further down the road.

Should've went for it then and should go for it again at the next opportunity. Now is a good time. What a calamitous shambles Westminster is in now and the UK will follow suite shortly.

Can't wait for all the NO hun wimps to wade in with their selfish, narrow minded, uninformed drivel in support of staying in the UK but not in the EU.

Yes although I can’t see it happening. The SNPs strategy is all wrong

4 years. 4 f*cking years.

I've supported Scottish independence all my life.

I admit right now I would just accept staying in the EU and slowly having our own say in Brussels.

To be fair, SNP did well to get the referendum final the last time and finish runners up. Sturgeon has done better than any other SNP leader since the halcyonic days when they nicked the Stone of Destiny.

Surely though, if it went to a second referendum, I know of only one person that could lead the SNP to second place again, and he's currently in a post....

Yes they did well to get a referendum in the first place, but in my opinion the whole vote was rigged from the start, it was a case of if you resided in Scotland you got a vote no matter your nationality, however in the EU referendum I think I'm correct in saying that only British nationals got the opportunity to vote for stay or leaving the EU.
I think that if the Independence referendum had been for Scots only then we would have been on our own.

It was an absolute disgrace, but you've got it the wrong way round.

As tax paying residents in Scotland , the English were and should have been allowed a vote.

The fact that the Poles were not allowed to vote in the EU referendum is an appalling example of how the English regard what they class as foreigners .
