ewerk 27300 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Sturgeon starting the process for a second Independence Referendum. I can't see May agreeing to it. It'd almost certainly see Scotland leaving the Union with NI possibly to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4992 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I was under the impression that support for a second referendum was at a low ebb right now? Sturgeon must be confident about winning that particular fight I guess, but didn't Theresa May basically bait her into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 27300 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I haven't seen any polling but given that Scotland have been completely ignored during the Brexit process I would imagine that dissatisfaction with Westminster must be pretty high.

Rayvin 4992 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yeah seems to be varying a bit. I guess it's close enough to be worth going for though. Best of luck to her, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 31488 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Think it'll happen and I think the current government trying to prevent it will only hamper the cause of those wanting to remain part of the UK. To be fair to the circumstance have changed pretty dramatically making a very reasonable argument for another referendum. It'll be a shame personally but I can see why they wouldn't want to remain part of the UK particularly as there seems to be little or no consideration given to those who wanted to stay in the EU.

Alex 31488 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 What do Labour do when they go? That's it, surely? The Tories will have everything left sewn up. I think there's been recent elections when they've won enough seats whereby they'd have a majority even without Scotland but it certainly makes things a lot more difficult. The UK's fucking desperate for electoral reform like which will be further emphasized if you have a situation whereby a party cleans up at every GE with about 40% of the vote (or potentially even less). Ironically that'll make the electoral reform even less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
