The Scottish Politics thread

Three years I would think.
Scotland will seek to rejoin and commence discussions during the transition phase away from UK. Where there is a will there is a way.

I believe that day one they will be given a trade agreement and that the 'negotiations' will take place from there.

Oh, I think it would happen, but I also think it's better to be realistic and honest with the electorate, though I admit that is a rather old-fashioned concept in UK politics.

UK to argue to the Supreme Court that there can be no such thing as an ''Advisory Referendum''



LOL .........Tories eh. What are they like?

I tend to agree with that irrespective of financial criteria. Membership of the euro might have to wait until certain criteria are met though. Until then we can always use Sterling with some of the associated downside.

Don't think any 27 would have an issue if Scotland wanted to keep the pound, it's more about whether Scotland wanted England regulating their currency and interest rates.
Ireland did quite well for years with the punt which was linked to Sterling, Scotland could try something similar.

Scots already have their own currency ... linked to sterling.

Exactly my point.

I strongly believe in the right to self-determination and independence but i'll genuinely be very sad if they end up leaving.

As someone who will vote to leave as an ex unionist, I completely agree with you.

Just wouldn’t want it linked quite as long ;-)
