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?

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!
A constitutional change requires a landslide?

That’s just made up nonsense because you’re terrified of the Union crumbling.

The rest of the UK should have a say on Scottish independence? A threshold literally no independent nation has ever been held to, anywhere in the world?

As for ignoring the will of the electorate I’m not sure how that fits if the SNP are the largest party in the Scottish Parliament, and a majority of Scottish MPs? They’re literally the elected Government in Scotland implementing their manifesto pledge.

Laughably absurd but strangely unsurprising, Old Boy.
