Jason Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Pretty much the entire argument in the remain side of the previous Scottish independent vote was that there was no guarantee that Scotland could promptly rejoin the EU as an independent country if they broke off from the UK, so why risk it when staying in the UK meant staying in the EU. So literally what the fuck do they have to lose after Brexit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So literally what the fuck do they have to lose after Brexit? Also, the whole argument about England not wanting Scotland to leave is very reminiscent of GOP states railing against the federal government coming in to tell them what to do. But also stomping down on any city in their state trying to run their local government in a way that they don't like. They have decided the EXACT size of their government that is acceptable. Any smaller and it is chaos, any bigger and it is tyranny!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mclumber1 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Throwback to the 1700s when Scotland made a bunch of dumb financial moves and was forced to join the English in a new union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
