Scottish Independence (3 Viewers)

Not in 2014 they don't but if at some point in the future they grudgingly gave those regions the opportunity to decide ...

Surely EU membership for Catalonia/The Basque country wouldn't be an issue for a Spain that is willing to let them secede.

Are they willing?

I'd have thought the opposite.

This can only help the 'No' campaign.

I mean in terms of there definitely being a portion of those groups who vote vote for independence no matter what conditions but there might still be a portion of people there on the fence for whom the issue of EU membership might be something that could sway them one way or the other, notional nationalism is one thing, achieving it to the detriment of how you live your day to day life is another. All I'm saying is that in theory Spain, who would presumably still favour unity even in the event of this theoretical future vote taking place might like to have that card in their deck.

we should let Cork have a vote on their independence with their peoples republic bullshit. And if they vote no then fuck them out anyway.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Then West Cork would secede from the rest of the county. And then Douglas would secede from the city itself.
They'd love it.

I think england should be independent and not propped up by a uk/british isles collective which puts england at the centre of things. scots are well fit to invent something better. the whole debate rings of stockholm syndrome.

The famous 'Blue Drinking Voucher'

When Tallaght declares itself a nation a day later someone will paint a mural on the side of their house on the Blessington Road that says "You are now entering free Tallaght" two days later that will be covered over by "Pushers out" Then "*insert name here* is a Rat" Then that eventually will be covered by "PrickAIDS2014!!!"


Ah home!!!

A yes vote in Scotland would unleash the most dangerous thing of all - hope | George Monbiot | Comment is free | The Guardian

i got into a series of facebook barneys with a self-styled labour progressive over independence; his usual posts are all for socially progressive causes but he turned into an instant tory boy on the question of scotland because the labour party line told him to

i hope he reads this and fumes

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Is the Guardian's editorial stance pro-independence?

 

[nooleen]

they've been generally showing a pro-union bias in what i've read previously, in a weaselly 'jus' sayin'' kind of way

This guy from the Financial Times was great on Morning Ireland this morning

More or less says the economics of the matter are barely important.

I'd have thought his bosses would have been against it.

"If Scotland divorces Britain, the union jack will have to be redesigned, which is upsetting news for every prick with a union jack cushion on their stupid sofa in their stupid house. Minus the soothing, steadying blue of the saltire, the flag’s going to resemble a violent blood-burst staining a shroud. Better to scrap it and start again with a new design that more accurately reflects the spirit of the age. I vote for a crying brown oblong."

I had some LOLs (actual) reading that.
