Title: Scotland. Yes/No ?
Post by: Fly on September 17, 2014, 09:01:37 PM
I think no, it just doesn't seem right but I don't know enough about it.
Would it automatically put them out of the EU, would they need to join it.
Will they be allowed to, would they want to ?

Cameron Clegg Milliband Brown all say it would be a bad thing. If I was Scottish I think that fact alone would persuade me to vote yes!!! When the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia broke up countries were allowed to join the EU so there's precedent (I think the scaremongering of them not being allowed in is a sop to the british government) equally countries such as Switzerland and Norway get on quite nicely outside the EU. The Scots are being warned that big companies will pull out but what if the SNP decide to set their tax laws up in such a way that companies move there to save money?

This is one of the bits that I'm missing, and probably quite a few other people, even the scots.
WHO will be in charge of Scotland politically if the vote goes 'Yes'. Is there a 2nd vote for the actual parliament ?

The same guy who is in charge of the rest of Britain. Rupert Murdoch.
