What about #Scotland & #Labour?
There's an election looming & Labour are standing candidates in each constituency.
Again, a referendum. But again your detractors will point out how many referendums do you want?
You'll say Brexit's changed things, & that we have regular General Elections, so why can't you have regular Independence votes?
Does this sum up where #ScottishIndependence stands?
That's no different to suggesting we rid ourselves of local councils, & allow Westminster to organise bin collections & filling in potholes.
There are always elements of devolution, & I see the #EU Parliament as representative of their countries, just as UK MP's represent their constituencies in Westminster.
Why don't the #SNP have a non-binding referendum as proof of a majority desire for independence?
You had a vote in 2014, but just like #Brexit in 2016, the #Tories will keep saying how many more referendums do you want?
HOWEVER, by that metric, we'd only have one General Election per century. It will take a huge wave of #Scottish people to make another independence vote happen any time soon.
I agree with that 100%, hence why I said it's the ruling classes who obsess over colonialism, conquest & ruling over others.
Your average binge drinking, curry eating #English person, doesn't give a toss about anything outside of their City or town.
Can you post a link to where this is states #Labour policy?
Most people I know in #England couldn't care less about #ScottishIndependence either way. It's the ruling classes who still obsess about colonialism & power over others.
If #Scotland were to become independent under a #Tory government, you'd need to man your borders to stop the migration of half of #England moving north of the border.
Can you post a link to this for me please?
Feeling #Scottish over #British, is a very different question to #ScottishIndependence.
The last Scottish Independence poll I saw was closer to 55/45 for remaining in the union.
I believe the UK is stronger as part of the #EU. If I had a wish, it would be to see an Independent #Scotland, a united #Ireland, a devolved/independent Wales & all of us as a part of a string & unified Europe.
Will this ever happen? I very much doubt it in my lifetime. HOWEVER, I never thought the UK would vote #Brexit, or that #Trump or Doris Johnson would become President & Prime Minister respectively.
The #SNP seem in disarray. I hope they sort themselves out, & that the #Tories are wiped out in Scotland.
Ultimately, until #Scotland achieves independence, I believe #Scottish interests as part of the #UK will be best served by a #Labour government & not a #FarRight #Tory one.
Where have #Labour stated they intend to claw back devolved powers from #Scotland?
As things stand, there's a Scottish majority in favour of remaining in the Union.
I'm all in favour of #Scottish Independence & a United #Ireland, but as I've mentioned to my Scottish friends many times, the practicalities of how independence will work in reality seem very sketchy.
What happens to the border, security, defence, North Sea Oil, currency, Pensions, social security etc?
#Labour are in favour of keeping the Union in tact. However, for the UK as a whole, don't you agree a Labour government is a better choice, than these corrupt, inept #Tories?
The #SNP seem in disarray. What the Scots have to consider is are their interests best served by #Sunak or #Starmer?
Unfortunately, that's the reality of the situation.
Agreed. However, I believe #Labour in #Westminster are best for #Scotland & ultimately its independence. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ ๐๐พ

Austerity, Brexit, Covid Lockdown Parties, PPE Scandal, Raw Sewage in UK Waterways & Coastal Areas, Economic Crash, Record Inflation, Record Interest Rates, Cost of Living Crisis, Pensions Decimated, Mortgage Rises, NHS in Crisis, Schools Crumbling, Housing Crisis...
This is the choice. It's really that simple.
