same here.. aside from the massive expense, nicola seems to be forgetting (well, ignoring) that it was a Scottish referendum that voted 55% against independence in 2014. now when we consider that only 67% of us Scots decided to vote yesterday.. against 85% in 2014.. it is pretty clear which was a more important topic for Scotland.Common sense and Democracy prevailed
And as a Scotsman, I shall fight with all my strength against any rejoining of the EU by Scotland. I specifically voted Brexit.
ScotPop 2014 ~5,347,000 VoteReferendum ~4,545,000
Stay@55% ~2,500,000 Leave@45% ~2,045,000
ScotPop 2016 ~5,422,000 VoteReferendum ~3,633,000
Stay@62% ~2,252,000 Leave@38% ~1,381,000
i much prefer simple numbers over opinion, and i totally understand the validity of requesting another referendum.. things have indeed changed considerably.. but validity and common sense are very different creatures.. and if the eu thing was as important to us Scots, as she is trying to make out, why did ~1,000,000 less of us turn out yesterday?!
