Scottish independence referendum 2017?

The logical choice would be for Westminster insist this be put off until if and when a final agreement is reached with Brussels.

If Brexit wins, I hope Scotland becomes independent. They want to be In and should be.

The EU couldn't give us even tacit support in 2014 as we were part of the UK (and Spain's itchiness when it comes to it's own issues) I do not think this will be the case this time. This will be helpful.

The EU vindictively campaigning to dismember a former member state would be a very foolish thing to do, which would spook pretty much every country, both inside and out of the European Union.

In related news, Sinn Fein called for a Border Poll (referendum on Irish reunification) in Northern Ireland yesterday, while Plaid Cymru called for a Welsh Independence vote if Scotland leaves the UK. Brexit's going well - and it technically hasn't begun yet...

Of course, you nincompoop, Wales voted Leave, so they have no grounds whatsoever.

Sky has a poll of 2,000 Scottish voters about their opinion on various politicians:

Theresa May: good 48%, bad 47% (+1 lol)
Jeremy Corbyn: good 16%, bad 77% (-61 but I thought Jezza was supposed to win back Scotland)
Nicola Sturgeon: good 42%, bad 54% (-12 lol)
Kezia Dugdale: good 36%, bad 50% (-14)
Ruth Davidson: good 53%, bad 36% (+17)

May has real incentive to govern as the leader of a national party.
