EU Referendum Megathread (Brexit)

[xxMATTGxx]

Scotland won't have another referendum

Never say never

[Inseriousity.]

Okay, Scotland won't have another referendum any time soon. They had one in 2014 and voted to stay in the UK. Yes, Sturgeon can argue that the terms and conditions have changed and start the posturing required. Ultimately, however, it requires the approval of the government to grant the country the referendum and it simply won't be doing that.

Lol Spain is to Gibraltar what Argentina is to the Falklands.

Either way I think everyone is jumping the gun a bit. Cameron is essentially leaving it to the next leader to sort out negotiations, assuming either a) the next Conservative leader doesn't want to leave so doesn't honour the result or b) a parliamentary vote of no confidence happens, it's quite possible we will not leave. Basically, your best bet is to contact your local MP especially if they are a Conservative.

Indeed and she'll legally be required to commit to joining the Euro should Scotland wish to join the EU. I'd like to see her sell that.

I also love how everyone is now an economist on social media. A small drop (self-correction) in the markets and currency and it'll blow over.

FTSE now higher than any time since April. So much for Brexit-geddon.

i just don't understand the scotland thing, we voted to stay with the uk and create decisions together because "we're better together" but now everyone is ok if we separate from the UK just so we can stay with the EU? is it worse for scotland to be without the united kingdom than it is to be with the EU? :S i get that it's because we voted to stay and that won't be honoured, that lack of decision power was the reason i voted to leave the UK in the first place, but as we stayed with the UK we have to accept the decision from everyone.. it's like democracy is only ok if it goes scotland's way.

#NicolaSturgeon says she wants Scotland to be in Europe. Yes, Nicola, but you have to get through the qualifying rounds like the rest of us.
