The one does not necessarily lead to the other, but if it does come to it, any future Declaration of Independence in Scotland will guarantee the breakup of Scotland before the rUK, there are too many economically significant regions against the notion (28 ex 32 last time, by sizeable margins). Already, several LA’s are in discussion with Westminster to bypass the Natsis.
Capital flight, and economic collapse beckons down their path, but the media here seem not to wish to pose the ‘thinky’ questions to the Natsis.

I wonder how the Brussels gang are viewing things, How to say politely "F*** off" & "Dream on".

Hmmm, now looking like a photo finish for a Natsi majority. I am no expert on the scottish constitution but I do wonder if Kim is required to ask the Queen’s permission to form a government? If so I would love to be a fly on the wall.......

Do bear in mind that last time round more people voted to remain in the union than voted for SNP prior to the referendum. The decimal points on the calculators haven’t shifted in the interim, to the best of their knowledge...Hmmm, now looking like a photo finish for a Natsi majority.

I’m genuinely disappointed that so many of the people up here still vote for the SNP...it’s blinkered and misplaced patriotism based on a party that has poured poison in the ears of a nation about how they are oppressed and downtrodden by England and Westminster....

It's amazing the amount of folk who've made a bit of money by way of the oil who are rabid nationalists. A very "I'm alright Jack" mentality. And can you see the tears ruining their blue and white face paint when the new totalitarian regime takes away all the tax dodges and ups income taxes on anybody with more than two neeps and a goat to their name...
A bit of a silver lining - Hopes of SNP majority fading as record turnout and tactical voting dominate election

Will we get a public holiday to celebrate Scottish independence here in England.......I bloody hope so, I have ordered sh*t loads of bunting!
Confirms everything I thought whilst spending twelve years in that beautiful country. Shooting and farming people great, average Joe public so anti English and Nationalistic they would sacrifice two children and pay 50 percent of their income to be independant. So they are bound to vote SNP.

With many past Tory PMs it has though been rather an easy, nay open, goal.
I don't think it's that clear cut (and I am not a nationalist I any way).
Scotland was traditionally a Labour stronghold with a pronounce anti Toty sentiment. The fact that Labour are virtually unelectable now has left many traditional Labour votes with only the SNP as a "working man" party.
If Labour or the Lib Dems offered a viable alternative I think the snow vote would shrink dramatically.

Changed days.
It 's little surprise really but Scotland is a predominantly socialist country we are a small country with a population of
around 5.3 million the majority of.whom live in the central belt ex miners,steel workers, ship building workers, ex car plant workers all of which traditionally voted socialist mostly labour even some voted communist there were a lot
of communist sympathisers amongst shipyard workers
So due to the large amount of socialist voters it will always be either labour or SNP first past the post
Its true that the majority of landowners will vote Tory but that will not be enough to make much of a difference for most
Scots maggie put an end to Scots in general voting Tory and if nothing else we have a reputation for taking a long time to forgive.
The SNP used to have a big following among rural workers but the parties shift in policy has largely put an end to that with their plans to break up estates, rewilding, community buy outs etc all of which while disastrous for rural workers
seems like good ideas to those who live in the central belt.
Lib. Dems seem to get good results in some of the islands but as a party they are treated by some suspicion by many
Scots remember what I said about us taking a longtime to forgive we take even longer to forget , when ever Liberals are
mention that the last time we had a Liberal Goverment they almost bankrupted the country that was close on a hundred years ago, no they can't be trusted, see what I mean about along time to forgive.
The SNP were good as a protest party they managed to get a lot done for Scotland and devolution could have been
very good for us ,but the power went to their heads and all they seem to be able to think of these days separatism.
and they want to be the Governing party
So much for the party that fought to make things better for Scotlands people who said that if Scotland ever became
Independent their job would be done there would be no further need for the SNP and there would be elections to select a
new Government .
While there may well be elections if and when we become independent the still want to be the ruling party.
God only knows what sort of mess the country will be in by then if that ever happens as they seem to have lost the plot.

Like Zimbabwe but without the climate.
Both beautiful countries - both ruined by tw*ts in power
I'd be sad to see Scotland go, but I think it quite likely now
I find it hilarious that many of the same people who screamed til they were blue in the face that the Brexit referendum and the various elections afterwards that returned Tory majorities were ‘the will of the people’, but now also scream that an SNP majority is the result of manipulation, lies and fantasy...
I hasten to add that I currently think that independence would be an extraordinarily bad idea and an act of even more extreme foolishness than Brexit. I’m hanging on hoping that the list votes will counteract an outright SNP majority.
