Most people realise how little is to be gained form independence.
Why don’t we just schedule an independence vote for Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland all at the same time. Any of the four can leave the UK and if England votes to leave the UK then the UK is dissolved entirely and all four of the home nations get independence.
If no one votes to leave the UK then shelve the entire debate for 25 years and then repeat the process.
Eh. Really this needs to be a longer-term trend before we draw any conclusions. It was only late November that support for independence was at 56%.
What does Scotland really have to gain from being an independent country?
I suppose they could separately apply to join the EU but I expect membership would be off the table for at least a few decades because Spain would veto it to send a message to their own separatists. Is there really anything else?
Well that fucking jumped, the old title’s still in the URL
Maybe the Scots who want independence are telling the polls no so rishi gets confident and or vain and grants the referendum thinking its a slam dunk for no.
Then bang, no voters make themselves know and independence wins.
Fooled you rishi et al you arrogant incompetent jokers.
It will just cause a lot of unnecessary noise. Plus its not like they can join the EU anyways. They won’t accept Scotland under any circumstances as long as Catalonia is still part of Spain.
After the shamefully leadership talks recently I think the Scottish people see the politicians are complete idiots.
SNP leadership candidates do not inspire confidence in the electorate. Not surprising that the majority want to remain in the UK.
SNP membership has fallen drastically.
It’s the beginning of the end for the SNP.
Amen.
I’d guess support for independence will continue to go on a downward trend – a lot of people on the fence were happy to vote SNP because of Sturgeon’s capabilities. Labour might see some of these votes return their way now. And with the cost of living crisis, Brexit etc, voters are going to be cautious.
Not a coincidence the party is dying as Russian funding dries up due to the war. Alex Salmond was given his own show on Russia Today for his services, and I’m betting Nikola left to get ahead of a future inquiry
Yesterday a post n article said its majority, today its saying 39%
It seems like the idea of independence was a lot more attractive with somebody such as Sturgeon as leader. I wonder if it is considered that independence seems less attractive with whoever succeeds her.
However, being English, I’m from outside of the box looking in at this issue. I’d be keen to see others’ insight.
