ANGELFIRE1 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 It doesn't seem rather united to me, when we have people belitting others as Remoaners though. Why on earth you think I should get behind you when you have such an excreable attitude as that is beyond me. Well, that diatribe gave me a laugh. Trust me on this, I have no sway on what happens on the Brexit discussions, wish I had. As for the term "Remoaner" by gum it fit's you perfectly well. Just my opinion, others may think differently. I am waiting to catch the proverbial dummy when you spit it out tomorrow, Brexit Day. Angel1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairyloon Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 The vote is for permission to hold a referendum before the UK leaves the EU and it didn't get much of a majority either. Theresa May has already stated that the Government wont let them hold one till after we leave, so its just a token stance from them. It is proper etiquette. They cannot reasonably go ahead and hold their own referendum without first having been refused permission for an official one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon knows she won't get another referendum before 2020. It's basic politics. We'll Brexit and Scotland will come with us against their wishes. And then the SNP will turn round and argue they were forced to Brexit without a choice despite the Scottish parliament voting for another referendum. It's a long game. Sturgeon has done May over on this one and Cameron will be delighted that May will ultimately get the blame for breaking up the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 oh, the irony! Perhaps you could look up the phrase "once in a generation". We waited a bit too long on the EU. Scotland is too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbeliever Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Perhaps you should look up the phrase "manifesto commitment". It's not within the power of the Scottish parliament to hold a referendum. It's equivalent to Canute and the tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any fool with the appropriate access to polling stations and ballot boxes can hold a referendum, though obviously any such referendum could only be advisory...
