What they want is dependence on a larger electorate outside Scotland that will accord with their thinking. Something like a third of Yes voters also voted Leave. So a fair chunk of people do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many are self proclaimed “socialists”, how many are still as happy with Brexit as you are, and how many now reject their “Yes” vote and are wholly behind the extremist Brexit that’s being forced on us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet I’ve never encountered any Scottish socialists who have been so enthused by the recent direction of Brexit Britain that they’ve been won over by the UK. Nor have I ever found anyone who thinks that the UK is headed towards socialism under the Tories’ Brexit but Scotland under independence will never be ruled by anyone but the SNP. Only you. Needless to say, the idea is ludicrous and about as socialist as the suit J P Morgan was buried in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a fair chunk of people do. 1) My recollection was that it was 30%, not a third. 2) Even if it was a third, that's only 15% of voters in 2014 3) We have a significantly different electorate now. According to YouGov in January, 24% didn't vote in Indyref1 or brexit (or both) 4) The same poll shows that more yes/leave voters have stuck with yes rather than moved to no. Add this to the no/remain voters that have moved to yes, and it's no surprise that yes currently appears to have a reasonable majority YouGov Survey Results Sample Size: 1039 Adults in Scotland (16+) Fieldwork: 22nd - 27th January 2020 Full survey results here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because obviously parents have suddenly been rendered incapable of looking after their kids since the start of this year, you stupid f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Russia report today. Looking forward to finding out that the Kremlin personally funded the Remain campaign, that the SNP are actually a bunch of manchurian candidates brainwashed in East German gulags back in the 80s and that the Leave campaign was a pure bastion of English life, akin to warm beer and county cricket, unsullied by outsiders.

smpar Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Terrifying to think what our healthcare system will be like in a few years. Also terrifying to think that Tory voters will justify this with flag emojis and claiming that Corbyn would have sold the NHS anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It's very believable that the only vote Putin decided not to influence was the EU referendum. The result of which just happened to be hugely beneficial for him.Just like how he also doesn't have any troops in Ukraine and those two lads lads were in Salisbury for a bit of sightseeing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
