Kingfisher Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Neither Labour nor the Tories know what to do with Europe, so they're steering clear from that hot potato. That's a discussion the scots best have away from Westminster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 You only get to vote on it if you're a Scot living in Scotland. What if you English and living in Scotland, you don't get a vote?

mjmooney Posted June 17, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2014 Who gets to vote on it is not what bothers me. It's people's ability to vote rationally and in an informed way. Both on Scottish independence and EU in/out. I know I keep banging on about it, but referenda are not democratic - they may look like it, but they're a pantomime, masking an abrogation of responsibility by politicians (who are paid to do a full-time job of researching and comprehending the complexities involved in running a country). We do our jobs, let them do theirs. If people want to assert their emotional feelings about their nationality, then let them have referenda on the things that seem to agitate them, but ultimately don't really matter - national anthems, flag design, that sort of guff. Not stuff that could make or break a country's entire economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to see how they can be entitled to vote on the future of a country they opted not to live in.

GarethRDR Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 If they do decide on independence, what is the fallout for us - if any? How will it affect us? Irn-Bru and Walker's Shortbread will become subject to import duties/taxation, ultimately driving both out of the country. For that reason, I'm against.
