I am happy for them to become independent, but I thought that last time this was a "once in a generation" type thing not a "every few years until we get the result we want"?
It strikes me as unfair to just do another referendum again so soon (I think it was in 2014, so like what 8 years?).
I think perhaps if they get one on Scottish independence, perhaps we should have a reverse-brexit referendum vote!
- Codesleuth 4y ago> perhaps we should have a reverse-brexit referendum vote! I can see it now... 51% in favour of rejoin, 49% against. Boris et al. reject on the grounds that it's too close, hilarity ensues.
- capableweb 4y agoI think the "once in a generation" statement was based on how things currently are at the time. So, if there wasn't any drastic changes to the entire political and economical landscape in those 8 years, then there wouldn't be another vote. But since there been at least one major shift in the very country Scotland exists in, I think it's fair to reassess how people feel about independence via a referendum.
- Ekaros 4y agoI think leaving an other very important economic and political union could reasonably well be seen as start of different generation. Or maybe they need to wait until Queen is dead, that should count and could even be arranged... Many other countries count their generations by whoever is the current monarch.
