    Too true Mason. We need something like they had in Spain under Franco,.....err, no hang on. Maybe an American style " Democracy" oh no , that doesn`t seem to work too well either.
    Maybe a European parliament with Commissioners chosen by the inner circle, err no , we just said no to that ,......Heck. Thon democracy is nae eese ivvaa !!!

    It'll be the same democracy that will bring Indyref2 though.

    Scotland won't leave the EU but it will leave the UK.

    Ach, it`ll calm down, eventually.

    Bit tricky for my bisiness. I import from the States and sell in the UK.

    ( My European business tailed off a good few years ago with the £ too strong agains the Euro. But as my costs go up , current state still won`t help !! )

    FREEDOM !!! Comes at a cost. Always !!

    Aye, I`m all for an independant Scotland. But it`ll probably greatly weaken the remains of the UK a.k.a England . They haven`t worked that out yet. Our exports even without oil are pretty strong part of our UK export trade.

    I`m also very pro European. But think that the current Euro parliament thing is broken, and can`t be changed from within. Too much self interest . It needs to be broken down and started up again.

    It`s going to hurt. For a good while .

    Good post Stupie.That's where I'm at., although last night I still hadn't found enough reasons to swing my opinion one way or the other, so didn't vote in the end . Think an indy ref would be in poor taste.
    Now that it's happened, maybe the EU empire has gotten too big and corrupt, like previous empires, and this is the kick up the arse it needs

    Most likely your current passport(s) will be valid until they expire and when you renew you will get the new non EU passport.

    Scotland voted to stay in the UK, yesterday was a vote for the whole of the UK, it was not a vote on whether Scotland should have another vote on separation. SNP are unable to accept the result of any election that does not go its way.

    Exactly. You could see this coming a mile off. This is what the no voters voted for so sit down and shut up #BetterTogether

    On your way off thinking we should also have stopped unskilled, semi skilled and lower educated people as they also voted to leave, and the there is over a million Scots voted leave, if they could have been identified beforehand they could have been stopped from voting, and then there is the 60 to 70 age group, apparently they were partly to blame. Democracy! What a bummer.
