Bernard Ponsonby and Brian Taylor on Scotland's political journey

As the voters prepare to go to the polls Scotland Tonight brought together the recently retired BBC Scotland Political Editor Brian Taylor and STV's very own special correspondent and former political editor Bernard Ponsonby to give their opinions on Scotland's political make-up and the key moments that brought us here.

    This is a turning point for Britain it won't be called the United Kingdom anymore as Scotland will soon be Independent, N Ireland will soon join Ireland so Wales and England will have to be called rUK (rest of the UK) or little Britain.

    @@theresawareness8358 You just made a huge mistake. There are no numbers to "do" right now. History shows that when 2 countries seperate there are negations which take place, negotiations on trade & assets & debt which determines their respective financial positions. These negotiations have not taken place yet, therefore, *impossible* to pre-judge.✅

    As an English taxpayer I am quite comfortable with Scottish Independence. We currently support each Scot to the tune of £2,500 this will be an independence bonus for the English. Good luck Scotland.

    my grandmothers family are from wigtownshire . but if the scots think they will be better off without the uk they are mistaken .who is going to pay their health system and unemployment bills ?. they are basing their economy on oil , it has plummeted since covid . they would be totally dependant on the eu , which is also in a massive decline . at least 70% of eu voters are starting to vote right wing . look at the last election here ?. the biggest defeat for labour in a century . please the scots , THINK , before you end up like greece .
