Simply put by someone....
Why would Scotland be better off on their own.....won't the problems that caused England to sever it's ties with the EU multiply with Scotland on it's own.....?

Brexit was not the problem to cause the UK to severe its ties with the EU, it was the consequence of the problems, what problems were they?

[Rheghead]

The UK has a national debt of £1.7 trillion, a falling currency value one of worst in the world, and a trade deficit of £133 billion and it left its biggest trade partner. Can the UK afford to be an independent country?

Yes I agree...my wording was 'off' there. Perhaps you can tell us/me what the 3 probs were.

The UK is not a country, it is a union of three countries and a province.

I thought the United Kingdon, minus Scotland and a few other 'bits and pieces' voted to escape the clutches of Brussels for certain reasons. As it would appear that I am in the Company of an intellectual, I would pass the reasons over to you, as I am a 'bit of a foreigner'. I am not truly up to date on all things Europe. The gavel.....Sir/Madame.

No,The UK as a whole voted to leave the European Union.
When we voted as a nation to remain part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in 2014 we opted to remain part of the democratic process, not to pick and choose what we like or do not like.

When it comes to Scotland's future I think the Scottish people do have the right to pick and choose what they want.

Well they've already binned your loony independence idea, back when it was referedummed!

The SNP have NOT got their independence yet, come back and spout your nationalist nonsense when they do.

We did choose what we wanted.
We wanted to remain part of the UK's democratic process.

Indepandant or as part of the UK we will still be out of the EU, wee Jimmy Krankie has been told that in no uncertain terms.

And we will continue to choose what we want. Times have changed, circumstances have changed.

"We" being that minority who want something silly.

Times have changed, circumstances have changed.

They always do.

The Voting card said "No."
It did not say "No, (until something happens that some people don't like)"

The SNP's manifesto said they had a mandate to call another referendum if the material circumstances changed like taking Scotland out of the EU. It was in black and white. The country voted on that manifesto pledge and the SNP was returned to government. That is democracy.

Ruth Davidson says the UK government should not block a request for a referendum on Scottish independence.
