Scottish Election 6 weeks away.

The covid crisis has enabled the Vote Leave government to blame everything on covid and nothing on brexit.

At some point we must see the huge damage that has been done to our country by leaving a 40 year partnership.

The much more dreadful damage which could be inflicted by the separatist leaving a 400 year partnership must be resisted.

varian we often agree on things, but "must be resisted"? Are we the enemy now?

And it's 300 years. 314, to be exact.

There is chatter abroad that a Scottish equivalent of a Gina Millar might come forward to challenge the legality of Indy2 in the Scottish Courts. The reasoning behind it is that Boris and his government can distance themselves from any unfolding drama.

Sorry * Allegrias* I hope we are not enemies. We are both Scots and I think were both in favour of the UK remaining in the EU.

I think we were both appalled by the irresponsible action of David Cameron in allowing our membership of the EU
to be decided by a referendum unprotected by a supermajority when the vote on that one day was so out of line with opinion before and after.

The brexit fiasco has not only damaged the UK e only but has split the population into two disparate groups. Five years on we are still Leavers or Remainers.

It shows never have been allowed to happen. There should never be any in a nation's constitutional position without the consent of a clear majority say two thirds not 50 per cent plus one.

No, of course not varian, that's why I said I so often agree with you. And I also agree with you that we need we shouldn't base a decision to go to independence on a simple majority, we should have a higher threshold.

Just the wording of "it must be resisted" caught my eye rather, as though folk who support independence are some kind of fifth column.

Folk who support independence are ent9itled to their view. but Nicola Sturgeon tries to have it both ways. When before the vote she told an interviewer that voters who liked some of her party's policies but were against separatism should vote SNP but now that vote is taken as an endorsement of her separatist position.

I'm not getting into any more independence discussions about who said what to whom and exactly what they meant by it. Not good for my health. ? I really object to the new trend of calling us "separatists" as well, as though I'm blooming Count Dooku.

But people wanting an independent Scotland are separatists just as there are Basque separatists. Those wanting to stay part of the UK are unionists. Seems reasonable nomenclature.

Remainers are the true Unionists.

I voted to remain in the EU but think I've changed my mind a bit after recent events. All is not well in the EU these days.

Is that in your opinion Kali2 or do you have some facts to back that statement up?

And will Kali ever venture an opinion again?

Why not? Kali has ventured many opinions on many threads on GN.
