No because your assuming on the very day Scotland leaves the UK it would be granted as an EU member. Joining the EU takes years, 5-7, say 5 at the shortest. So Scotland would leave the UK, wouldn’t yet be a member of the EU, so it would be in some lala land, not in the UK but not in the EU either. Forget about using the £, good luck with the Euro. What about defense? How would Scotland finance its share of the national debt? North Sea oil is ever decreasing so Scotland wouldn’t be able to afford free prescription charges, social care, and university tuition. What are they going to put 15p on income tax rate and up VAT by 5%. Good luck with that.

Population figures have nothing to do with the outcome, all votes were counted as one big vote, either yes or no. If there is ever an indie vote and the borders vote mostly against it while up north votes mostly for it and wins. Do the folk in the borders have a case for another vote because they didn’t get the result they wanted ?. Its just sour grapes by the SNP because they didn’t win.

@@cricketman1322 Not at all... Spain, just as other nations, respects History, REAL History, that is the difference. Franco was suffered by the whole of Spain, and Madrid took some of the worst, because it was a red stronghold. In the meanwhile, you can still find videos of people in Barcelona crying of happiness whilst welcoming Franco when he "liberated" Barcelona. Compare that with their lies after they got full competence in Education, because Spain is so terrible that actually gave its autonomic parts competence in many essential powers, bad bad Spain. Scotland was a sovereign country that signed an Act of Union with another sovereign country. We are not talking of parts of those sovereign countries, but the countries themselves. Every part of Spain has been legally united for over 500 years, with all parts joined in 2 main sovereign kingdoms before that. Valencia was a kingdom later integrated in the kingdom of Aragon, but Catalonia was never a sovereign kingdom, just a County then a Principality. Also, talking in modern times, there is not only a recognition but also a constitutional duty of protection to all Spanish languages since 1978, Catalan one of them. Compare that with France, which considers any language other than French as a danger to its unity and actively works against other languages, or even the English attacks against other British languages, just as recent in History. I think that many countries should really look at their own History, supposing they actually haven't been covering it up, before they call on others.

At least give Brexit a chance to see how the Scottish people feel about it. It seems to me that Scotland being independent and the UK being out of the EU are two separate issues that should not be muddled in a vote. There is a lot more to Scotland leaving the UK than Scotland being able to join the EU. Should Scotland become independent and join the EU, the current resentment will just transfer to being against the EU. What will the SNP do then?

This has nothing to do with Brexit. The SNP were already making noises about Indyref2 within hours/days of the first result being announced (almost 2 years before the Brexit vote). Had Brexit gone to remain - we'd still be having conversations about Indyref2, the excuses/reasons would just be different that's all. Let's not forget - the SNP were quite willing to exit the EU in order to gain independence from the UK - so why has their tune changed? Why are they so desperate to remain - when they were willing to divorce themselves from both the UK and EU just a couple of years earlier.

Tory's are so full of their own self Importance they think the world revolves around them

I like how Greene and the piece kept referring to 2014 being "once in a generation" and wanting SNP to respect that! But what happened to the promises the Tories made that aren't being delivered or respected? In 2014, they told us "The only way to remain part of the EU is to remain part of the UK", the vast number of those who voted No back then did so on that argument. Then in 2016, The EU Referendum, Scotland voted a majority to Remain, but as England voted to leave, we all have to leave. Despite Scotland offering alternatives, deal suggestions and other suggestions to help it work, these where ignored and now the EU has stopped further negotiations and Westminster's blind arrogance is sending us to a catastrophic NO-DEAL BREXIT. But it's OK because we'll get Chlorinated Chicken from the US and in return we'll sell them the NHS Similar in 2014, right up to the week before the referendum, YES was winning in the opinion polls and this terrified the NO camp, so at the proverbial 11th hour, they started talking about more powers, and this so called 3rd option being the best of both worlds - more control and more decision making, but with a safety net. A large number of those who voted No back then did so on that argument. Now 8 years later, those extra powers aren't worth a damn, the ones we need aren't being given and the ones we had are being taken off us! Strange as i recall another false promise plastered on the side of a big red bus, Using the same play back to back is going to get you caught out on the field, and it has - we're on to you! These were the two biggest deciders, Added to the fear and lies told by the No campaign, that got the result the No Campaign wanted in 2014. You fooled us once then, but your biggest mistake was using the same tactics 2 years later. Again, lies and false promises got you the answer you wanted and now that's done, it doesn't matter. Well be warned because Scotland is on to you this time, We will ignore your Lies and False Promises, Even if they are on the side of a saltire'd painted bus this time. We will ignore your Fear Mongering because if the unknown and uncertainty is good enough for Brexit, its good enough for IndyRef2. We have proven when the brown stuff hits the fan, Scotland can handle it better alone than the UK can, and we don't need to change our numbers when they start looking bad. (Seriously, how can you just disregard 5,000 deaths? It's fine saying Scotland, Wales and NI only count those within 28 days so, so will we, but you forget the weekly NRS report from Scotland. Yes, our daily reported figures are only those within 28 days of a positive test, but the National Records of Scotland post a weekly report of those dying beyond that, Where Covid was a believed cause, or where it was a contributor to another underlying issue. Back in April, it was decided to combine the daily UK Briefing figures with the weekly ONS report to give the complete figure at the UK daily briefing, if you are now only giving daily those within 28 days, then where is the past 3 weeks of the ONS report to give the complete number?) You want to quash INDYREF2 talk once and for all - RESPECT US!!!! Listen to what Scotland is telling you, Deliver the EXTRA powers you promised, especially the ones we need right now, and leave the ones the devolved parliament already has alone. Stop giving us pennies for every £ we put in the uk pot and expecting us to be grateful, and if you're not going to give us more, Allow us to borrow what we need! (Or are you scared Scottish Whisky and Oil isn't going to pay for your precious HS2). If not, DON'T STAND IN OUR WAY!!! A £15 billion Scottish Deficit - Still better than the £300 Billion UK one!

@RealJustinCrowe This seriously is an interesting perception of the status quo. It's nice to see you have a clear gauge as to the reason why every unionist voter voted in the manner they did. You use sweeping statements such as "vast majority" which are unsupportable and hold no weight. Before we address the contents, I must point out that the same anti-UK rhetoric is utilised -- rather poorly to be truthful -- by almost all vocal Scottish nationalists you see online. It was nice to see you make reference to the NHS, a fine institution established by a Welsh man under an English prime minister (do you see the irony). You clearly did not look into why 5,000 deaths were wiped, then again I am surprised that you can hear anything over the sound of the independence drum you perpetually bang. 5,000 deaths were removed because of a statistical inaccuracy which enabled non-Covid deaths eight months after infection to be counted as Covid deaths, we were the only country in Europe which was doing it so it only right we bring statistics in line with other countries - besides Spain isn't counting "unconfirmed" cases which occur outside of hospitals. How does your pennies for pounds argument amount to a £15bn deficit? It should, in fact, be pounds for more pounds. You make reference to Scottish whisky and oil money, it'll be nice to see how the oil money fares with the current price.

In an independent Scotland the Scottish people would be governed by the government that they vote for and not be governed by the government that another country voted for.

Even Margret Thatcher (no friend to Scotland!) understood where the rights lay. I quote her about Scotland- “As a nation, they have an undoubted right to national self-determination; thus far they have exercised that right by joining and remaining in the Union. Should they determine on independence, no English party or politician would stand in their way, however much we might regret their departure.” It is quite clear that sovereignty lies with the people of Scotland and not with Westminster.

Jonathan Burns that is proven to be a myth. You cannot judge the economy of a non independent nation without full borrowing powers. All loans, credit cards, car payments and other financial products paid by someone living in Scotland is taxed as a “U.K. asset”. All products that are sold within Scotland are taxed VAT which is not included in our figures. I’m really sick of the scaremongering from unionists when our economy is perfectly feasible and will thrive. Look at Ireland, a similar nation to ours with a similar economy. They lead by example and we should follow.

If Scotland was a burden to England, why are they trying so hard to keep the Union? If Scotland was being subsidised by England, why would it was to break away from all financial support? It's obvious that it is in their best interest to extract whatever they can out of Scotland whatever that may be and Scotland knows it can do better and not just financially. Why is England so afraid of another referendum? Don't they trust the people to choose what is right for them? This is democracy, the vote of the people is what matters, and by not letting them vote you are silencing them.

I smell desperation and fear from the unionist government based in Westminster. The union is broken and has been for decades due to the inequality of a supposed union of equals. Psychologically for the English mindset the United Kingdom of Great Britain is nothing more than greater England. The union is and always has been set up to give an imbalance of parliamentary seats heavily biased towards England. Therefor there is, and never was, any true democracy for the Scottish people in being part of Britain, the treaty was built that way by design. In fact the UK is one of the least democratic political constructs in the world for its smaller population constituent nations. Having said that, someone had the foresight to ensure that Scottish law was kept separate from English law because this was the tool with which Scotland could wrest itself free from the shambles. If England tries to break that by legislating against the separation of Scottish law, then the treaty of the union is broken and thus becomes null and void. Scotland is about to get the hard sell propaganda that it is a basket case incapable of going forwards on its own without the charity of Westminster and England to support it. It is about time that England stood on its own two feet. Then we will all see the truth of the lies and propaganda that have emanated from an English centric UK. Let's get the popcorn out and watch and listen to all the desperation from the propagandists. The point that is missed from all the unionist talking heads and fear mongers in moving forwards is that it is not about Nicola Sturgeon nor the SNP, but is instead all about Scotland and its own right to self determination whether good or bad. The British Empire is almost dead and buried and currently chain stoking its way to its final demise in the dissolution of Britain itself back into its constituent nations. It is the end of empire and well past the time when looking at the treatment meted out to Scotland in a comprehensive asset stripping since before Thatcher committed her de-industrialisation asset stripping destruction of the UK. I see no merit or improvement in the UK despite all the lies and political chess from a Westminster that Scotland never votes for disguised as truth to make the place better. Lets just get it done and end this 300 year old political aberration, there is no good in it, that much is obvious in looking at the current Westminster based "leaders" and their cohorts blithely leading a zombie political construct to its final conclusion. Scotland is no basket case, but England is definately going to be one once Scotland is off. They already know this truth because they have spent some money in understanding the truth.

Not really should be the answer that springs into your mind if you understand how the greater world works.

Therfore the treaty between Scotland and England, a treaty of equals as stated in the treaty of union itself was constructed in such a way that England would always have the dominant voice.

Ah! Fuzzle, but think on this - The United Kingdom is a Monarchy and a monarchy cannot ever be a democracy it has a legally sovereign head of state. Scotland, in 1320, did succeed with the Declaration of Arbroath but those wealthy, "Paircel o Rogues in ae Nation, were deliberately embroiled in the Darien Expedition by the very same person, Willian Paterson, who was used by, "Sir Robert Harley", (the English parliament's spy master), to raise the funds to bail out the English parliament after they fought European wars over the, "English Navigation Acts". The money he raised gave birth to the private company, "The Bank of England". A few years later he, Paterson, is in Edinburgh instigating, "The Darien Expedition", that England claims bankrupted Scotland but which didn't. It bankrupted the wealthy Land owners who were also the Scottish Parliamentarians. Scotland, the kingdom was not bankrupted but did suffer 7 years of drought and bad harvests but Scotland, unlike England, had no, or very little national debt. The Darien Expedition was designed by Westminster to set up the Scottish parliamentarians for coercion, (no blackmail under Scots law), bribery and threats of legal actions. Then we had Paterson and his close associate, the English undercover agent and author, Daniel Defoe, working on those Paircel o Rogues and Defoe's letters back to Harley in London are still in the English archives today - but they don't teach you that in your Scottish history lessons - do they. But the evidence is all there today if you care to chase it down.

The end is being able to sell the fish , sustainability, and making profit. This crash out madness will allow a few large fishing companies to increase their catch , at what cost ? The local processors will not survive ,they have made that perfectly clear , and selling will incur 12.5%tariffs into EU, along with customs checks, and a raft of food hygiene and origen rules , delays and extra logistics costs , with likely blockades on the continental Market ,all this adds up to a uneconomic product .

What you don't seem to realise is Scottish fishermen know this and are playing the long game . They know a crash out might get Brexiters cheering but this will work against them . They need free or at the very least good markets to sell the fish at a profit ! A crash out with a poor relationship with the countries they need to sell into is a complete disaster! You might like cheap fish if fishermen are forced into selling cheap into the home market because of 12.5%tariffs and extra logistics and paperwork and delays with blockades all extra costs to sell into the EU. This is not only bad for fishermen, this is a complete disaster! The fishermen bank balance is what motivates them , and a crash out Brexit with no easy market is the disaster they are very keen to avoid , only that is where we are heading . Fast forward after the crash, fishermen will be desperate to find a solution ! A crash out Brexit Empire is no solution !

Just look at the state of Scotlands economy since she came to power. Waken up mugs.

No it wasn't. Nobody ever made such a deal. Scotland were told that independence from the UK would mean automatic expulsion from the EU (which was true). But that isn't the same as the UK agreeing to remain in the EU in-perpetuity. The Brexit referendum was already on the cards in 2014 - Scotland willingly voted to tie it's fate to the UK despite knowing this. And be honest. Indyref2 has nothing to do with the outcome of Brexit. The SNP were already making noises about a second independence referendum within hours/days of the "No" result being announced. Even if Brexit had gone remain - we'd still be here having the same conversation - the excuses for holding it would just be different that's all. Remember - the SNP were quite willing to see Scotland out of the EU in order to gain independence from the UK. Why have they changed their tune all of a sudden? Just doing the opposite of the sassenachs?

Aye! A new generation of idiots. When they actually exit the THE EU , "BRITAIN", will still be where it always has been as Britain is not a a country nor id Britain a single political or sovereign state. Britain is an archipelago lying north of the main European mainland. These Brextremist/unionist idiots, though, don't know that Britain, not being in the EU cannot exit what it is not in. It is the UNITED KINGDOM that is leaving the EU and one, EQUALLY SOVEREIGN, partner kingdom in that bipartite UNITED KINGOM voted quite positively against being dragged out of the European Union against the legally sovereign people of Scotland's legally sovereign will. Which is why the erstwhile United Kingdom is about to disunite and, being legally sovereign, a majority of the legally sovereign people of Scotland's sovereign wishes must be legally upheld or the matter will be taken to the international courts. In which courts, regardless of anything else there are basic Hunan Rights legislation that the Westminster UNITED KINGDOM government are signed up to and indeed have the same Human rights written into English Law. Scotland also has them written into Scottish law. One such human right is the right of a recognized people to have self determination . Which right of self determination is denied them by this Brextremist/unionist idiocy that in itself will very rapidly destroy the United Kingdom's fragile economy. Westminster is already warning of prescription drug shortages and certain medically used radio isotopes that the United Kingdom cannot ATM produce. People will die but this Brextremist/unionist government has a long history of killing off the old, disabled, ill or simple poor or out of work United Kingdom citizens where people live rough on the Streets of the United Kingdom and die of hunger, cold and neglect. I'm old enough to remember the Concentration, work and death camps of WWII and indeed my own father took photos of what he witnessed upon liberating at least two such camps. Dad was never the same person after such experiences. Now! Does it matter if the government kills of people by firing squad, gas chamber, working them to death or starving or freezing them to death by government laws are regulations a dead vulnerable person is still an unnecessarily killed person no matter which way you have chosen to end their miserable lives and this current Brextremist/unionist government stands so far to the right they look left and cannot see the slightly left of centre Scottish Government as Genghis Khan, Hitler, Mussolini and Mrs Thatcher are getting in the way. Scotland will end the United Kingdom, Ireland will reunite and Brexit will be the reason.

Here is an idea to save the UK and keep it together, if that is your mindset: Give Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales equal numbers of seats and representation in Westminster. Doing that would redress the imbalances inbuilt into the current construction of the UK that works wholly in favour of one of its component nations. That would make everything less about England and more about an equal UK that consists of four nations. Then England would have its voice based on an equal footing. Population density of the four nations shouldn't even come into the equation because that isn't how it works out in the real world. Otherwise China would have the greatest say in everything on this planet. Chances of that happening though are nil. The English centric mind would implode at that concept. So lets just get shot of the UK as it isnt working for the lesser populated nations, who have never had and never will have, an equal valid say in how the UK is run because England doesn't want it.

Canada has had 3 referendums in Quebec, and now faces a low but not ignorable chance of an Albertan referendum thanks to failures of the Conservative party to build a nationwide platform and the Liberal party's failure to get conservative Albertans to agree to their compromise deal on oil production (the keystone of Alberta's economy).

And I know that officially England does not have a government but its MPs have a lot more of a say on UK decisions than any of the other administrations do owing to the number of MPs representing English constituencies.

The population of England is roughly 11 times the population of Scotland, so of course they both don't get equal say. Given how many seats in UK parliament Scotland has and how many people make up each constituency on average, it most definitely isn't unfairly against Scotland, in fact each voter in Scotland has slightly more power than the average English voter (marginally fewer people per seat in the UK parliament by extension more seats relative to its population), along with Scotland having a huge amount of autonomy compared to regions of similar population in England. Just because the decisions of the UK parliament are generally determined by a country of 55 million compared to 5 million doesn't mean you should throw your hands up and claim inequality.

SNP will open their borders to everyone and where we they go? Straight to England. Scotland population is tiny... how do they think they will survive? The EU won’t take them

I believe that since the Scottish people vote and think very differently from England, then Scotland should be independent and go its own way and since they wish to stay in the EU, they should be able to do so. Instead of relying on Subsidies from Westminister, they will be able to rely on subsidies from Brussels instead, though of course I hope the Scots can eventually not become dependent on subsidies from any source and can make their own way without needing financial help. In the EU referendum, the English chose one path and the Scots another. Therefore let England and Scotland walk on the paths they wish to follow and go their separate ways. Scotland was independent in the past and can be independent again if the Scots wish it.

It really annoys me when they have the cheek to say Scottish people legally arnt allowed to have a vote on thier own independence, that's not how democracies work. Scotland would be better run by Scots and I say that as an Englishman, better to end the union on friendly terms than hostile ones.

I'm not going to give my opinion here because I live in England and my opinion doesn't matter. Lets hear what some Scotish people have to say.

I voted to leave the EU and I agree that Scotland should have a second referendum, as they were told a vote to stay in the union was a vote to stay in the EU. That being said, I don't think the SNP is going to do a good job in running Scotland outside of the UK. They seem hell bent on just wanting out, but I do not believe the SNP is being honest with itself and the people of Scotland. Scotland is a great country and I would be sad to see the Scottish leave the UK. I like having a union with England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. I would be worried for Scotland if they did leave, I believe it would be a mistake, but it's a choice for the Scottish to make.

@seosaphjarvinen Because Scotland joined the EU as a member of the UK. Leaving the UK would mean leaving all legal ties to the EU. The laws in place for UK being in EU is binding to the UK, not Scotland individually. Once Scotland left the UK there part of the EU agreement would be void. Why do you think in 2014 that the remain party campaign was all about staying in the EU. The laws that EU imposed on UK where UK wide not individually based. Such as the intelligence service. If Scotland leaves the UK it will need a new one or a new collab with the rest of the UK. That also has a domino effect with the EU as well. You can also put it like this. If a couple of people join together to get a share. Later down the line if a person pulls out and the rest stay they don't get to keep the share. They might get money back but their actual share amount is null. Finally, you can look back at what the EU has stated during the time period and they also backed up what number 10 said. Leaving UK is leaving EU.

@seosaphjarvinen I get that from the then priminister David Cameron. He told the Scottish that a vote to stay in the UK is a vote to stay in the EU. Then he gave us a vote on whether or not to have a referendum. Then when leave one the referendum he resigned shortly after that. Do you remember what he said on his way back into number 10? Right then, dum, dum, dum lol. He obviously didn't think leave would win, but we did.
