GG54 Why on earth should I tweet my MP and NS when they are doing everything they can to steer Scotland towards Independence? There is already a majority in the Scottish Parliament in favour of Independence and they have a mandate from the public to hold a second referendum. It is the Westminster Government which has refused to grant the necessary permission, (TM said now is not the time) which they can do because Constitutional matters are reserved to Westminster, i.e. NOT devolved.
If the pollsters are correct and Boris Johnson becomes the PM, then perhaps he WILL allow a Scottish referendum as based on his many contemptuous anti Scottish comments, he probably would be glad to see the back of us.
Mycat As has been discussed many times on these threads, Scotland would not be allowed to join the Euro until its own currency had been established for umpteen years and could easily stall meeting the criteria indefinitely. Do you not think that Brexiting from our biggest trade partner will be more than just BAD for the economy?
As to Ruth Davidson - she declared that this Euro election was a test of public feeling about Independence. Her election leaflet made 14 references to this but did not mention Brexit at all. In the event her Scottish Tories achieved only 11.6% of the votes cast compared with the SNP's 37.9% To which, if following Ruth's logic, you can add the 8.3% who voted for the other Indy supporting Party, the Greens, giving a resounding pro Indy vote of 46.2%.
Personally, I believe that voters in Scotland were mainly voting for remain parties - SNP, Liberal & Green - rather than taking part in Ruth's mini Indyref.
