Surely if you've voted no once the majority will vote the same again no ?

  I voted No the first time round, and voted In for the recent Euro vote. Scotland is stronger and safer within a United Kingdom which is why voted No the first time around. We are all fcuked out of Europe though, which is why I will vote Yes when (and thats not an if) Scotland come around to another UK referendum. I know a lot of fellow No voters who will also be voting Yes given the new, radical, change in circumstances. I will then vote In for the Euro referendum that will follow shortly after. No doubt Scott is rubbing his hands with glee over "I told you so", and thats totally fair. Unfortunately I put too much trust into the majority of the UK not being blinkered right wing fascists. Im the son of an immigrant, and the husband of an immigrant. For that to be the main argument for exiting Europe left me fcuking disgusted.

Please forgive me chap. I am happy to embrace all people who want work towards that aim. There is a bumpy road ahead. I don't even know what point we will get to but the band is getting back together and I've rallies and meetings all this week to see how its going to happen and to answer questions. Tuesday is when Nicola will be making a speech to parliament. There is a rumour of an important poll on Thursday too.

I would like to hear her policies on education, finance, defence, nhs, employment or anything really which doesn't end up in another on independence. One trick pony. Also if there's a second vote I think the whole nation should decide not just Scotland as it affects us all.

Then pay more attention. We just had a scottish election with actual manifestos and we ran an independence campaign and a general election canpaign We covered all these things. You are just not looking or rather looking for cheap shots bourne of bitter ignorance. The Scottish Government as said by many commentators at the moment is the only function government on this island. If you dont like that how about pointing your aggression towards the people who have failed you and all of us and not towards us who have our heads screwed on correctly and are trying to salvage a future out of the sh*t scattered all over the floor. Grow up and that goes for all the other anti-scottish shite posted in here. This bitterness has taken over people. Now its directed at us.

I'm not aggressive and I'm not being anti Scottish. Your being very defensive and looking for an argument that's not there. All I'm saying is I've watched 3 days of tv where sturgeon has talked about one thing and one thing only. Not about the impact of this on the U.K. as a whole, or indeed the rest of Europe, but her own agenda. Scotland voted to stay in the uk and can't pick and choose to take its ball home because it's unhappy with a democratically made decision. Where does it end? I don't like the budget/tax or whatever = we need another neverendum... Ipersonally i'd be happy to have another Scotland vote if the whole of the U.K. can participate in. If Scotland wants to leave why stop them, but it chose to stay only a year or so ago.
