sparky88 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The EU referendum is basically an independence referendum that Scots in England can vote for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 My wife is not a British citizen but has an eu passport and she voted in the general election. I expect you to report her to the police first thing in the morning. There must have been some sort of mix up as an Austrian citizen should not be able to vote at a General Election.

happysouth Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Go and have a look at her passport again, she is definitely not Australian? She's never had a polling card for general elections before (but has for all the rest including the referendum). I was quite surprised when she got one this time but it was another vote for the snp so wasn't complaining. It was probably a mistake but she thinks her 14 years of good service to the country mean she shouldn't have to resign her residency. The authorities are free to have an investigation in which case she will deny all knowledge of the polling card incident until a whack of money has been spent, at which point she will admit it and carry on as normal, everybody deserves a second chance.

The_Kincardine Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Is this the right bit of the forum to discuss Wee Nicola's absurd idea that, "That the UK should only withdraw from the EU if there was a majority in favour of exit in all four nations of the UK."? Has it been done elsewhere? I don't want to start a thread on it as it's so ludicrous a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"4 nations of equal partners to make our United kingdom",(Cameron at standard life)if 2 or 3 nations want to stay in and 1 wants to leave then how is it fair?Are we not now equal partners?It wasnt the will of scottish voters it was the will of those that were allowed to vote (quite rightly) in our indy ref,and they cant even give that choice to those that live work and pay taxes here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's making mischief, plaid were at it last week as well i think, it seems reasonable politics tho, either the desired position of staying in the EU is made more likely by only needing 1 region to vote stay. Or the 'Scotland/Wales is different' line becomes stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a federalist system of government. Nicola is simply making mischief or ignoring the well-expressed will of Scottish voters. What do you expect? This is the wummin who ignored the same eu when they told her that Scotland couldn't continue with the delightful benefits of membership post a yes vote (basically a gtf!) This is wummin that ignored the BOE and Treasury when they said no pound post a yes vote. This is the wummin that ignored the fact all the defense contracts in Rosyth and the Clyde would go south post a yes vote, Ignoring voters and facts is what this wummin does.

RedRob72 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Why is it ludicrous?Arent we all equal partners in the union(copyright every unionist nawbag last year? We are not represented in the EU as four separate nations, we have one combined vote across the UK. Sturgeon cannot 'demand' to veto that decision. Cameron should go for it asap anyway and put it to bed for good, there's no way we'll vote to leave. Cameron perhaps took a risk on the Scottish Ref, but I trust his judgement on this. What happened to the line, being 'ruled from Edinburgh not London' btw!? I take it remote rule from Brussels is ok though!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
