[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1091972, member: 56232"] I opposed Scottish independence for much the same reason I opposed Brexit, I think entertaining the petty nationalist elements is a completely destructive path to follow. However, the threat of leaving the EU and maybe not being able to rejoin if they left the UK was definitely a significant factor for many Scottish voters, likely enough to swing in favour of remain. That original reasoning is no longer valid. On the flip side, the SNPs huge majority is a result of the crap FPTP system we use. As a proportion of the total vote, those who voted for union parties approximately equal those who voted nationalist. What happens if indy ref 2 ends in remain again? 3? 4? Repeat until you get the "right" result and then that result is final and unchanging? [/QUOTE]
