Most I know were firmly in the Remain camp fwiw. I voted Remain as did all the Scots I know down here (maybe 3 or 4). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I voted Remain as did all the Scots I know down here (maybe 3 or 4). Yep, same here Kinc, 7 or 8 Scots in Eng and 2 who stay in NI remain, only one pal who was a firmly entrenched leave, but has always been anti EU long before the Ref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 5 who actually voted.....all Leave . But 2 each stay in Cardiff and Bristol area and one in Yorkshire so that might have influenced their vote. London based Scots maybe voted differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we won't have to listen any more of your shite about Scotland voting to remain in the UK in 2014 - going by the number of voters who actually voted (which you suddenly want to do), less than fifty per cent of all who could vote said "No thanks - we're wi' Alistair". I'm no playing a game just stating facts that you are struggling to digest and to deal with..... your assertion that Scotland is unequivocally Pro EU is simply false. This is a thread about Brexit but seeing as you bring up the Indy ref I should remind you that over 2million Scots voted NO ( on an 85% turnout ) more than voted Remain btw.........The numbers speak loud and clear. I'm happy to repeat them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to repeat them. Yet the majority of Scotland voted for the UK to remain in the EU. The majority wins. You might want to deal with that. And that 2 million your happy to crow about represents less than half the voting population. Since your keen to acknowledge the voting population (as opposed to who actually voted), less than 50% voted in favour of Scotland's UK regionhood. Under your preferred method of looking at things, Scotland is not therefore overwhelmingly in favour of remaining a region of the UK of GB and NI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of the franchise is what wins or perhaps Dundee and Glasgow should be fighting for independence from the UK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely that the geographic pattern of votes of Scots in England at least partially mirror the pattern of the nativesBut the fact that they know you is probably a bigger bias in the sample 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should be directing that to your colleague McSpreader, who introduced the idea that it's the percentage of voters who matter, not the percentage of who voted. I look forward to you arguing the point with him (ha!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take on the voting numbers are that those that voted expressed an opinion, those that don't accept that majority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
