A quick link to an interesting speech given by Jacob Rees Mogg at the Oxford Union about how the EU is a threat to democracy.
I appreciate its 13 mins long and a man in a fancy suit with a plum in his mouth but he puts his points across most eloquently.

Now what could you possibly mean by that. LoL
Ok good to see Sturgeon fighting the corner to get the voice of all UK devolved administrations heard in EU situation : EU arguement / future must involve all and if one doesnt vote for withdrawing come the referendum then I agree that the UK must stay in, all in or all out....we cannot have 1 nation, say England voting to pull out and others voting to stay in, and on that basis pull out....thats hardly fair !
This is a great quote from a man who although I'm not generally of the same political views seems to have hot the nail on the head.
The EU is just an other way for Berlin to gain control of Europe without needing to invade anyone
Hating people because of their colour is wrong. And it doesn't matter which colour does the hating. It's just plain wrong.

One vote per person. The majority win. That's how a referendum works. If the Yes campaign had won a majority in the independence referendum across Scotland as a whole, but the majority of Caithness voted no, would Caithness have stayed I the UK whilst the rest left?
I actually find it quite amusing this assertion that the people of Scotland have a vastly different view on the EU than the English. I think percentages for yes and no will be quite similar across the UK.
If anything, I would guess that regardless of the SNP official line of staying in the EU, the sentiment of separatism that the independence debate cultured within SNP supporters may well see a large number of them voting to leave the EU.
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; Nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.

I absolutely agree. The Scottish Government keep banging on about Scots clamouring to remain within the EU but where is the evidence for that? I think you are right in saying that the 'yessers' and 'no-ers' in the EU refendum will be similar in all parts of the UK and my absolute wish and hope is that the results will be broken down for each country in the UK for all to see.
