I don't know why it has to be a "landslide". Nobody uses that threshold to stop a Conservative manifesto on 40 per cent of the vote and minority of seats.

If you want to look at chaos look at London since June 2016.
Because it would be a constitutional change.

England could survive on its own. Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland could not.

Someone needs to present the economic reality to Scots Nationalist voters.

If anyone seriously believes that Scotland could manage on its own, then why does the SNP keep bleating on about the Barnett Formula?

Really don't think the Brexit brigade have thought through all the consequences, Scottish independence being more likely is one.
Because the electorate voted to leave the EU, just as they voted for the UK to stay together.

What is it with you guys that time and again you want to ignore the will of the electorate? We do live in a democracy, you know.

The people have decided. The politicians need to note accordingly and implement. End of.

Not really. We are the United Kingdom and we should all have a say. If there are ever any more referendums on Scottish independence, we should all have a say.

Joining the EU and leaving the UK would not be in the interests of the Scots.

The independence from the UK argument is being pursued by those who hate the English, let's face it!
