Honest answer I don't know yet, but I do know I'm much more likely to vote yes than I was last time, because the UK I decided to stay part of has changed.

Sturgeon wants another referendum
- Thread starter blue cigar
- Start date
Except it's not really now is it? We'd be voting for the right to decide if we wanted to be part of the EU or not or whatever arrangement the elected government in Edinburgh prefer if Scotland were a sovereign state. All countries cede some sovereignty to other institutions.The talk of it being an independence referendum is silly.
It is a vote to be part of the UK or the approaching EU nation.
If Scotland feel there is an appetite for a referendum then I see no reason why they should not have a vote and put the issue to bed once and for all.
However dont come all this independence bollocks, its nothing of the sort that they will be voting for.....

If it's yes, then I forsee a Balkanization. Bitterness and revenge through historical rhetoric will be the order of the day.
Great news. Hope she gets the referendum and hope Scotland votes to leave. Get rid of the place once and for all, by jingo!
They might try to annexe Corby.

So how will you actually vote? She appears to want the referendum before Brexit negotiations are concluded. If you vote 'yes' and the uk secures a deal on eu trade (or ends up staying in), will there need to be another referendum? Don't disagree with Scotland having another referendum but surely it would be better post Brexit negotiations, when you all know what you're voting to leave.
Perhaps thats the very reason she wants the vote before any negotiations are concluded. She may infact know that things could be looking less cataclysmic outside the EU than some predict. The EU may well by then be in even greater turmoil than it is now.
They might try to annexe Corby.
Even better. That's another shithole :)

Aye, a see what you mean...LOL!
So in the event of a vote to remain in the uk you will be supporting an end to the Barnet formula then?
Good man.
