EU Referendum


Recommended Posts

Survation:

Scotland: leave 41% remain 59%

England: leave 54% remain 46%

Britain: leave 53% remain 47%

ooft.

Is that the first time there's been such a stark difference between Scotland and England? Obviously the figures wont be exact, but pro-UK, pro-EU factions must be worried in Scotland at the moment?

Do we have the figures from NI and Wales?

@UKGE2020: Survation #EUref Polling

England

Leave 54.3%

Remain 45.7%

Scotland

Leave 40.2%

Remain 59.2%

Wales

L 52%

R 48%

N.Ireland

L 44%

R 56%

So Wales and England want to leave. No surprise I guess, the Welsh love being English!

Do we even have a date for this yet?

Sometime, in the future, when Div gets whatever it is he wants.

Can anyone remember way back when the Scottish referendum was announced, and the Tories (and others) wouldn't STFU about the timing? "It needs to happen NOW. We cannot live with this uncertainty. The SNP are delaying this because they're scared. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW!"

It's not even irony at this point.

Ultimately Scotland will remain in or leave the EU based on what England wants. If England wants out, we're out too.

Correct - but that's entirely fine with a lot of "proud and patriotic" Scots. They want the decision made by the majority of the U.K., not by the majority of the Scottish electorate.

That's block voting for you, did anyone moan about it in 1975 when we stayed in, probably not.

There was no vote on the EU in 1975. The vote on membership of the European Community, however, was pro-yes across the home nations. This one looks (at the moment) like exhibiting a difference of opinion between the home nations.

The UK will remain or leave the EU based on what the UK wants. HTH.

85% of which is England. Nothing against England, but let's not pretend that the vast majority of the U.K. (and therefore the deciding region in any referendum) isn't England. How nice of Westminster to give the minority states of this glorious family of nations a token voice under the umbrella of the "UK" though - even if it isn't one that can actually make a difference.

100% correct. Much to my disappointment, Scotland subscribed to that on 18th September last year.

As events and democracy move on though, it would be nice to revisit our decision to allow the UK to decide matters of such huge consequence to us should our family of nations be significantly divided on them.
