That is right with brexit it is true, people vote themselves into poverty for whatever reason they are told to.

I think that what you are saying is absolutely correct and there is an inescapable irony in the fact that they are actually called “The Conservative and Unionist Party.”

Everything that is going on at the moment in the Conservative Party is the complete opposite of traditional conservative values as I have understood them to be for my entire life.

The clue is in the name ... Conservative... steady... appreciative of strong and stable institutions, counter-revolutionary, prudent, cautious, reliable, pragmatic..... You get the picture.

The conservatives have become a right wing somewhat neo nazi party ,labour well they are nothing but abstainers totally lost their socialist values of standing up for the less well off thats why scotland has no choice but to seek indendence and try keep us in europe which the vast majority of scots want and there is no doubt that it will happen quite soon

The real problem is whenever the Tories get in......they only care about the rich and richer,basically if your 100 + miles north or further than london then your a 2nd class citizen.

Then there's who else to vote for? Corbyn is a joke,sturgeon is independence mad and a troublemaker who surely has had her time as she certainly doesn't represent the majority of Scotland's wishes which was remain in the u.k.

The consul general represents the Spanish Ambassador of the Government of Spain.

A Scottish newspaper reported the views of a right-wing Spanish MEP on Catalonia and how this influenced Spanish thinking.

The consul general said this did not reflect the policy of the Spanish Government. This chimed with recent comments by the Spanish Foreign Minister who said Spain was relaxed about the idea of Scotland joining the EU.

The letter very much was about setting out the position of the Spanish Government.

Once it became public, Spain removed him. In doing so, they said he had acted without authorisation of the Ambassador or his director of media communication.

The views expressed in the letter were not challenged, only the fact it had been sent without permission (and threatened to drag Spain into a domestic issue of another EU state).

I imagine Spain may be happy for a degree of ambivalence at this stage of Brexit, given that the EU is still keeping the Gibraltar card up its sleeve, preferring to play the Irish border one at this stage.

In the last referendum in 2016 the scots voted to stay in the eu with 62/38 which is the majority and now with the eu election too. I wonder if here is any scots here, do you want to remain?

There were a million Scots that voted to leave the EU, that's more than the snp get.

Lets not take the 1.6 million remain votes in Scotland and assume that they will vote for independence, they will not.

"Sturgeon is going to have talks with the eu for their membership in the eu "

Actually, it's nothing more than a public relations exercise.

She is not in a position to negotiate with the EU on the subject of membership of the union.

The EU only negotiate with the UK Government (i.e. the Member state).

Scotland is not a member of the EU in it's own right.

What I find hilarious is that in 2014, the SNP tried to get Independence for Scotland which would have pulled them out of the EU anyway.

Old fish face can piss and moan all she wants, whilst Scotland is part of the UK, it's membership of the EU is consistent with that of the rest of the UK.

She can whine and whine about wanting another Indyref, but can only hold one with the consent of Westminster.

If, and it's a big if, Scotland were to have a second referendum and IF it voted to leave the UK, the Scottish government would then need to make a formal application to join the EU.

Just ask the Turks how their attempts to join are going.....

That’s what I think mrs sturgeon would like, however I don’t think membership of the EU works like that, and unless they break their own rules, the E.U. would need Scotland to join using the normal process .

But Scotland is not a member in it's own right.

When the UK leaves, Scotland leaves - as it is the UK that is the member.

If Scotland were to vote for independence in a future referendum, they would be required to make their own application to join the EU - and accept all the terms that apply to a new member - including adopting the Euro.

If the UK had not voted to.leave and Scotland had voted for independence, they would have, by default, left the EU and would have had to apply for their own membership

Agreed as we knew this when the referendum was happening but the scaremongering from the government and press went into overdrive!! Since then it has been agreed it would be a smooth and happy alliance if scotland were indeed to become an independent country.

Yes and no.

Analysis shows that Scotland only voted 41% to remain, Wales and NI 34% to remain.

This is going on a percentage of eligible voters.
