what will the question on the voting slip be ?
what was the question on the voting slip for the eu ref ?

Should scotland be an independent country?

Can't remember, should the UK leave or remain?

 

[hoff135]

Fair point. I think Glasgow and Dundee were the only two areas to vote in favour last time.

Breaking up countries is always messy

See Wee Crankie and 'the party' are limbering up for the future of an independent Scotland. And no Scotties will no be welcome in England seeking Asylum!!

Self serving nationalist and arrogant and incompetent could be said about the Scottish government and as for being dragged out of the EU that could be said of leaving the UK as well .
The reasons the snp wanted to stay in the EU are the same reasons they should stay in the UK, IE free trade open borders free movement etc

Brexit whilst keeping the United Kingdom together or a break up of the UK whilst being in the EU both contradict one another to a point.

what a drag

What's a drag, what you see in the mirror on a Saturday night.

Breaking up countries is always messy

A referendum is generally messy.

A lot of folks, have ended up with the arse if their trousers very badly torn as a result of it. Looks like dragging to me….

Far more had a bad time before we left

Not bits of Scotland the whole lot
Not bits of the UK the whole lot

No part of the UK was dragged nor will part of Scotland be dragged, read the question when it comes and answer it, tis simple enough,

I believe they have said it will be identical to the question asked last time

Great. Maybe not only lost my right to live in France but also Galloway

Thats ok you can have Galloway's where you are
Or move to Wales?

 

[Ashtree]

Great. Maybe not only lost my right to live in France but also Galloway

Still, England is a green and pleasant land.

I'm not sure I entirely agree with that. Being dragged out of the EU by a self-serving English Nationalist government has strengthened the political case but the financial case still has to be made.

Brexit has maybe given them a political argument but it massively complicates the practical case for independence. If you think the NI protocol is a mess, just how an independent Scotland would survive isolated from its main trading partner to south is anyone’s guess. Plus there’s the question about whether the EU would want or could afford another small, deficit running country hanging on its coattails.

On balance, I doubt many true believers in independence (the more pragmatic ones anyway) would have wanted it, even if it increased the likelihood of another referendum.

There is no question about this: a large part of the independence movement is motivated by a deep anti-English sentiment.

If Dumfries and Galloway can become part of England then I have no problem with wee jimmy getting her vote.
Quite frankly I’m sick of hearing her hard done to attitude and it makes me feel embarrassed to be Scottish.

If you didn't read the question on the EU referendum, you don't know what you voted for.

 

[M-J-G]

there may be some big contracts going for wall building to keep the English out

Don't do that, I've been rather enjoying sending our store cattle down south for inflated prices and it's been pushing our beef price up

Kept that one quiet.

If the SNP lose this referendum, any chance of the wicked witch stepping down once and for all?
