John Lambies Doos Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I don't think its certain to return a Yes vote. But I agree they're unlikely to accede to a vote: we were only granted one last time because the British Government thought it would be a rout and end talk of independence forever. So there's not much to gain from allowing one this time around. They're certainly not confident. The only thing that might change its mind is pressure and that might be helped either by the SNP holding the balance of power at the next election, or even polls that show a majority in favour of indy. Then the Tories can't use the argument that most people don't want another referendum. Yeh but if SNP hold balance of power in WM we will be told we are leading, not leaving etc... And they won't be able to bring the labour government down ala Tartan Tory pish starts again.Now is the fucking time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By events yesterday it would seem that making one of the SNP mps sit in the commons and shout objection every time they attempt to pass a bill might be an idea. Maybe just send one more in each day solely to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should hold a referendum anyway with or without a s30. Making the next hr election a plebiscite on independence is also an option. You only need to see what Charles Stewart Parnell achieved. This is doable in my opinion. The SNP have a presence on the Westminster committees too, that's another area for disruption. Fillibuster everything you can. Disrupt every PMQ's Just be a major pain in the arse. Westminster will have hundreds of of new legislation to pass from Brexit, that's up and above business as usual stuff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternatives – waiting until 2021, hoping there's a balance of power in a Labour administration, getting a pro-indy majority in the Holyrood elections that will be dominated by the constitutional issue, and then winning a referendum – that's a lot of hurdles to jump.

And reiterate we plan a referendum inn march next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a country. It's a constituent member of a country. It only becomes a country if it gains independence and is then internationally recognised as an independent sovereign nation.

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think the last week or so will have increased the yes support a little. However, i think it's best to wait until the Brexit 'agreement' is finalised and it becomes apparent we've definitely be shafted financially. That's when a larger number the 'middle class', 35-55 yr old Remain voters will back yes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Maybe some clever dick could set up a poll for an Indyref2 - whenever it takes place. Basically asking how you would vote this time and how did you vote last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
