As an English guy living in Scotland, I've followed the debate closely - there is not support to hold a referendum within the current term, despite election pledges.
Everyone I know votes SNP but doesn't really want to deal with a ref right now. Are vaguely disappointed with quality of SNP governance, but overall prefer to vote for a party which is primarily scottish focused and (slightly) to the left of rUK.
Current polling shows 2023 to be unpopular. But if current trends to Yes hold, then 5 to 10 years seems more realistic.
SNP need to juggle this reality with their election pledges.
- aftergibson 4y agoI hope this isn’t too off topic but I’ve been living in the year for 12 years and never seen the acronym rUK, it’s been mentioned several times in this thread, what does the r in rUK stand for? (Forgive my ignorance of this is really obvious!).

- Veen 4y agoOr, less politely, Rump UK.
- aftergibson 4y agoWell that makes sense, thank you!
