At least she is willing to find out. I’ve not heard many Brexiters keen on another referendum.

Seriously, anyone really think Scottish independence will be significantly easier to put in place and less painful than Brexit? Are the nats simply looking at it like the leave campaign looked at Brexit?
I think it’s totally different. Do you remember the faces of Gove and Johnson when they won? They were feeling sick because they hadn’t a clue what the decision meant and what they were going to do about it. Figures plucked out of the air and written on a bus. Sound bites of how great they thought Britain was in the old days.
Imagine now the faces of SNP politicians if there was a Yes vote announced. They’d be smiling and happy and after years of planning will know exactly what they expect the split to look like. WM might not initially agree but at least there will be solid ground to work from. Unlike Brexit where it meant Brexit and years on they still don’t know what it means.

Federalism was always one of my preferences. Either complete federal system on an equal basis between regions of England, Wales, northern Ireland and Scotland. Or complete unification with one set of laws, justice system and representation based around houses of parliament. I never liked historical Scottish laws in a union and thought unequal devolution unfair.

I don’t agree the EU is tricking UK.
A complete federal system on an equal basis would be good as would, I think, PR. People would feel represented hopefully.
So one set of laws for the Union that’ll be the Scottish ones then? No I thought not
I assume you believe an unequal devolution is because there isn’t devolution throughout the UK. Apologies if I got that wrong. The original plan, AIB, was to roll it out through England. Apathy put an end to that.
