Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

Even more reason why it's imperative to agree terms before any possible divorce agreement is put to the electorate.  This is surely the lesson to be learned from the Brexit debacle?

Well no, because this is not business, this is politics. The UK government is not going to gift the Scottish government the appearance of acquiescence to an Indy agenda by negotiating aspects of Indy.

Steady now.  You'll be calling me a 'foreigner' shortly.

Yawn.   I don't care who you are.

Every time you appear, I never feel that I've learnt anything interesting or useful.

Your sense of entitlement does indeed drip from just about every pore.

Yet Brexit is foundering on this very same issue.  How comfortable are you to repeat this wrt a possible IR2?

The UK government will not even begin to engage with such topics until sometime after a successful poll on the issue. The Scottish government can of course set out it's initial negotiating position, and indeed did so previously, with promises to pay it's share of UK debt, and with suggestions on divisions of assets. 

Beyond that you would seem to be suggesting that since UK government engagement is a necessary prerequisite to having the poll, that therefore the question never get's asked.

Necessary?  No.
Sensible?  Yes.

Well, it's the UK government  that in your case is behaving nonsensically. Just another good reason to get the hell out of dodge.

It's the case you've put forward. 

My case was prosaically simple:  Agree divorce and accession terms with Westminster and Brussels and present it to the electorate of Scotland.  There's nothing objectionable about that.

Never said there was. Only pointing out that the UK government is, by your definition of this being a sensible option, behaving nonsensically as it's a fact that they would not engage with the Scottish government on any such settlement prior to holding a poll that resulted in us (Scotland) voting for independence.

You don't live in Scotland. You're a foreigner. 

All Scots who live in other other countries are ex-pats.  Moving to another country does not change your nationality.

If or when Scotland becomes independent, would you propose that Scots who live in other countries should lose their Scottish nationality, right to citizenship and a Scottish passport?

Going to respectfully disagree it's none of my business, likes. Yon Rangers boy might be acting like an absolute w**k, BUT IF YOU'D JUST IGNORE FOLK LIKE THAT* then the Saints lad might not have said something so utterly fucking stupid.

Anyway, I'll be off to the Trump thread now which is the only place my opinion is valid.

Spoiler

*I may have put this point across before once or twice

Depends if they are counter-revolutionaries or they're willing to toe the party line.

Tibs lingo is off but the fundamental point's fine tbh. No vote = none of your business.

So Trump is none of our business because we don't vote in America?

Similarly, the Mayor of London elections are none of our business?

Or are you just talking out of your arse?
