The SNP hold the balance of power, they can decide whether people stay in the UK and or in Europe, the Conservatives are in turmoil, Labour are in turmoil, the Lib-Dems are in turmoil, while the SNP are super strong. |  |

It's not up to the SNP whether or not Scotland becomes a member nation of the EU.
You're talking crazy, hoss.  |  |

The British State is starting to break up, Scotland is on the verge of going it alone, N.Ireland wants to be in Europe when their cousins in the Republic already are, Wales could split between Welshies and Anglo's, even Spain is making eyes at Gibraltar.
Oh dear, I blame the Tories, both Red and Blue, this has been on the cards since Thatchers day, the Celts were never going to except perpetual right wing rule once Labour became a right wing party it was always likely the UK would split. | |

NON! EU slaps down Sturgeon: SNP leader dramatically announces she wants 'immediate discussions' to STAY in EU... but she is humiliated as Brussels says 'No, that's not how it works'
Nicola Sturgeon said she wanted to 'protect Scotland's place in the EU'
But Brussels civil servants snubbed her, saying whole of UK must exit
Sturgeon called for another Scotland referendum during negotiations
But Brussels said if it voted to leave, it would have to re-apply for EU

The EU yesterday dealt a devastating blow to Nicola Sturgeon's new bid for independence - by ruling out any prospect of Scotland retaining its EU membership when Britain leaves.
The SNP leader yesterday said she is seeking 'immediate discussions' with Brussels to 'protect Scotland's place in the EU'.
But The Scottish Mail on Sunday can reveal that the European Commission, the executive body of the EU, has already ruled there is no option but the whole of the UK exiting following Thursday's shock Leave vote.
After the Brexit vote, the SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said she was seeking ‘immediate discussions’ with Brussels to ‘protect Scotland’s place in the EU’

Miss Sturgeon had hoped to hold a referendum during the next two years while Brexit negotiations take place - and had wanted Scotland to simply and seamlessly remain in the EU if there was a Yes vote.
But the new ruling by Brussels dashes her hopes, by confirming that an independent Scotland would have to reapply for EU membership. | |

Can you see Spain allowing Scotland in ? Then they'd have Catalonia and the basques demanding independence. Spain said two years ago that they would veto any attempt to allow the Scots in |  | | |

The Scotland / UK relationship is nothing like the Spain / Catalunya equivalent.

I think if the Spanish get Gibraltar out of the deal, they'll be quite happy. |  |

If Scotland becomes independent, the Union Jack flag would have to give up its blue background. Now there's a thought. Perhaps they'll put a little red dragon in the middle instead. |  | | |

The link for that article is broken, but I think I just read it:

I think the Scottish have a different referendum on their mind, and indeed may well have all along. Given what was in the SNP manifesto, anyone in Scotland disappointed with the result of the last referendum would have almost certainly voted remain, just on the off chance that leave won in England. |  |

Close to 2/3rds of Scots voted for 'remain', 62% to 38% - with all 32 council areas backing 'remain', that is a decisive result. [Post edited 28 Jun 2016 19:53]

It is a good majority, but the exit vote is a sizeable minority, which goes against the vision of the Scots 100% behind remain that the wicked witch of the North potrays | |

The Scots voted for the whole UK to stay in the EU expecting the rest of the Uk to do the same.
However it is something quite different to vote to stay in the EU on their own without any support from the UK.
Where would they get their Barnett formula from that gives them so many advantages over the rest of the UK.
The price of Oil is still suppressed, so they will not get very much revenue from that either.
So a vote for staying on their own is a very different kettle of fish to staying in with the rest of us. | | | |

That is a very reasonable point.
Of course, turning it round, you could say that the UK voted to come out of the EU expecting the UK to remain as one single entity, and it's quite different to what may have happened had the question been stay in as one or come out and break up?
The difficulty is that it all becomes so circular.
However, I tend to agree that when the stark economics are laid out that the decision isn't as clear cut as Sturgeon would have us believe. She finds herself between a rock and a hard place in many ways. | | | |

The Scotts were well aware the Uk were about to take a referendum on the EU and the consequences of an out vote before the undetook their own one.

I don't think they were were they?
They had their vote before the general election that led to the referendum. And the SNP manifesto made it clear that if UK voted out they would call for another referendum and they voted overwhelmingly for the SNP. | | | |

The SNP can call for what they like. They had their chance and lost. Mwhahahahahaha!!! |  |
