Added context is mine. Its like he wants the SNP to take over Holyrood next year. Not doing his little Englander image any good in Scotland with comments like this, just another colonialist

    I dunno, maybe people in Scotland keep electing pro indy majorities or some other antidemocratic guff. Holyrood is going to the polls next year

      Yet the people of Scotland said no in the referendum not so long ago. If it was anything like the Brexit referendum I’m surprised anyone would want to go through that again.

        I’m not even British, and I’m painfully aware that the difficulty of (re)obtaining EU membership was one of the “no” arguments during the independence referendum. The fact that the rest of the country turned around and voted to leave the EU against Scottish wishes just 2 years later should at least be grounds for a second referendum, if that’s what the Scottish people want.

          The fact that the rest of the country turned around and voted to leave the EU

          Just to be clear, 51% of the United Kingdom voted to leave the EU in what was sold as a ‘non-binding referendum’. Fucking morons. The fucking corrupt tory pricks in charge decided that 51% of voters was enough to call it a majority, and removed us from the best trade agreement we will ever have had with the European Economic Union.

          It was one of the arguments, but I don’t think it was anything binding to trigger a second referendum.

            The Scottish people wanting a referendum or not. Is the only matter of any importance to the issue.

        On a somewhat false premise, to put it mildly, considering it was held prior to the brexit referendum (which suddenly became binding).
