Scotland didn't have an actual vote in the EU Referendum, as there wasn't any such Referendum held, just with the individual countries of the UK. The EU Referendum vote result was based on the FOUR nations of the UK combined, not just one i.e. Scotland. So it's not revevant to say what Scotland would have wanted, as the individual nations weren't asked as individual nations.
Mind you as an English 🏴 person an independent Scotland 🏴 would have its benefits for me if it was in the EU 🇪🇺. Cause when I filled out the ETIAS form I could put Scotland 🏴 as my first EU 🇪🇺 country to visit and have all the checks done at the border, and then fly out to Europe from Edinburgh as am not to far south of the Scotland 🏴/England 🏴 border now. Could even fly back into Edinburgh on the way back and take a train back south of the border. I'll always live in England 🏴 so the 90/180 day visa limit to visit Scotland 🏴 and other EU 🇪🇺 countries after independence won't bother me. Finally it might calm things down on the island and Scottish 🏴 Nationalists might stop hating so much cause let's be honest they are 'Haters' 😂. I think eventually Scotland 🏴 will become Independent cause half the Scottish 🏴 population wants it.
What is the problem with people wanting Scotland to be a normal country who looks after it’s own affairs like practically every other country in the world?
A good question. I think many people are arguing or debating the fact we can't look after our own affairs as it is. If we can't run our country ( Scotland) as it is , joined to the union , how could we do it alone. If SNP had run the country and concentrated on domestic affairs as opposed to blaming England or Westminster and had everything in order , independence would have followed automatically. Unfortunately, if the SNP did apply tough rules to the Scottish public to make Scotland more economically strong , the public would would have voted them out. I know this doesn't make much sense. If Scotland was functioning and everyone was happy , then there would be fear of upsetting the apple cart to leave the union . So western economy is in a mess again but that's more to do with the capitalism works. The SNP should have been concentrating on the basics and building the foundations of Scotland. Perhaps telling us off and taxing us more and ignoring fringe debates and laws that no one really thinks about. The fiasco over COVID was a stupid one upman ship . NHS staff should never have got a bonus. That was 180 m thrown away where it should have been kept for the aftermath of postponed treatment. I struggle to even get my head around the cancellation of numerous treatments across the UK wasn't prepared for or the impact this would have.
Douglas ross doesn’t speak for everyone thats what’s great about democracy and why the sno keep winning in scotland that massive margin was only 200k votes to make it 50/50 the tories keep getting annihilated in scotland in elections so he speaks for a minority and the best thing he has done in Scottish politics is step down! I voted remain but i want a new vote cause since 2014 all they have succeeded in proving is the UK is not working anymore! If they admitted to a vote on the EU i bet the indyref outcome would have been very different and finally if they are so convinced Scotland doesn’t want indy then surely indyref 2 will end that discussion! No unionists want it as they know round 2 Scotland will leave the uk given the choice! We are a democracy so let the voters decide not some politician who acts like he is the only voice for the nation!

Douglas Ross is no stranger to losing either - rejected by the voters of Aberdeenshire North & Moray East at the General Election a few months ago - and stepping down as Tory leader in Scotland. Doubt if he'll get promoted to the Lords gravy train like Mone and Davidson.
When a country manages to outperform its neighbours on only 2/3 rds of its GDP every year, i.e. the Barnet formula then they can't be doing that badly eh? And don't forget Westminster dictates much of what Scotland can and cannot spend "its money " on...
This is one nasty piece of work, he a is bitter talking person who could make milk curdle when he speaks, he has no good word to say to anyone, I wonder if it is because his party is now out of power ?
So you cannot handle the truth eh ? Bitter ! There once was a FM called Sturgeon, who was the most bitter, twisted, devious woman in politics, who ended up jumping when her house got raided, and her and hubby got arrested. Hubby ends up charged with embezzlement. Makes Ross look like a saint.

Douglas Ross is no stranger to losing either - rejected by the voters of Aberdeenshire North & Moray East at the General Election a few months ago - and stepping down as Tory leader in Scotland.
Doubt if he'll get promoted to the Lords gravy train like Mone and Davidson.
Yip we will listen to a has been NOT…
SNP stalwart
Been a failure in EVERY position he has held.
When a country manages to outperform its neighbours on only 2/3 rds of its GDP every year, i.e. the Barnet formula then they can't be doing that badly eh?
And don't forget Westminster dictates much of what Scotland can and cannot spend "its money " on...
Dross you blether some pish, is it not services get worse because block grant keeps getting cut 😅😅😅
Someone elses fault again eh!!!!
lol another brainwashed SNP voter, check out the devolved responsibilities under the SNP - total SNP failures!
@bobbycaldwell4132 I think it's because of two things block grant and mis management as snp are pish
Throwing millions at vanity projects, instead of where it is needed, is a common practice with the SNP.
This is one nasty piece of work, he a is bitter talking person who could make milk curdle when he speaks, he has no good word to say to anyone, I wonder if it is because his party is now out of power ?
So you cannot handle the truth eh ? Bitter ! There once was a FM called Sturgeon, who was the most bitter, twisted, devious woman in politics, who ended up jumping when her house got raided, and her and hubby got arrested. Hubby ends up charged with embezzlement. Makes Ross look like a saint.
@@vtechead1 I can handle the truth no problem - Sturgeon and her husband should be both in jail for misappropriating donor funds. OK?
@@vtechead1 Ross a Saint? Its an insult to the very name.
found John Swinney's burner account

Just keep watching the film, that’s the closest you’re gonna get to indie.

THE 0RIGINAL M0VIE WAS G00D BUT THE NEXT WAS MEDI0CRE, SAME 0LD ST0RY JUST LIKE THE 17 YEARS 0F WHINING SNP!
Scotland voted to stay part of the UK only under a new devolved partnership promised by all the Westminster parties that would be akin to a "federal government" or "home rule" leading to "faster better change" if everyone voted to remain part of the UK. What was delivered came nowhere near that. Scotland was shafted yet again by Westminster and will continue to be again and again until they are truly independent of Westminster. Ross and his ilk had generations to improve the lot of Scots and only succeded in selling off their birthright mainly to benefit the south.
The hoary old chestnut of once in generation opportunity taken out of context by a Tory charlatan. Foreword to Scottish white paper 26/11/2013
“The debate we are engaged in as a nation is about the future of all of us lucky enough to live in this diverse and vibrant country. It is a rare and precious moment in the history of Scotland - a once in a generation opportunity to chart a better way.”
It was an opportunity which is something that takes place at a convenient time, place and situation hopefully permitting the favorable the execution of some purpose notably delivering Independence as a means of charting a better way. That Opporunity came from decades of SNP activism and was at that moment a generational opportunity. That does not imply that it will be the only one or that continued activism will not produce more OPPORTUNITIES if it did we would still be in the EU and not been subjected to 43 years of Tory Euroscepticism that seized the oppotunity to deliver brexit from a platform of lies, misrepresentation, obfuscation and fraud
Actually, Scotland voted No because their wasn't any reasonable argument for independence.
@@nanunanu8745 If you mean by reasonable as by way of reason there has always been a compelling argument for Scottish independence and that will continue. The only problem is that the application of reason is negated by a fugue fear, mendacity, obfuscation and misrepresentation.
@jimcraig6523 It clearly wasn't a strong enough one. It would have been a YES win otherwise.
@@nanunanu8745 Before the "vow" and the campaining of all Westminster parties with their mythical "extensive new powers" to a devolved Scotland provided it remained in the Union Yes was leading in the polls by around 2% even after a NO campaign similar in practice to that of Brexit so independance was a strong enough argument supported by a majority. For every good reason to proceed there is a lie concocted not to by those who oppose change and it is invariably done for their own selfish benefit.
@@nanunanu8745 Before the "vow" and the all party Westminster campaign run on the same lines as the brexit campaign promising "extensive new powers" to Scotland that have yet to materialise certainly nothing akin to a federal government or home rule the YES camp were ahead in the polls by 2%. So the argument was strong enough at that juncture.
For every good reason there is a lie concocted by those opposed to change and from which they will profit at the expense of others
