I just got done with years of dread for the Union breaking apart. Leaving the EU wouldn't just fracture our links with our closest partners, it would also inevitably lead to another Scotland fiasco. I'm shocked that people promoting "leave" never seem to realise that by leaving they could be pushing Scotland away, something I saw them all too much resisting.
If the SNP don't use a UK exit as an excuse for another referendum, its only a matter of them using another one. Besides would the SNP risk another referendum based on a EU exit unless there was a very big margin in favour of Scotland staying in, say 65-35? what if the poll analysis showed the margin was less than 10%, would that really be a big enough margin to risk it?
The SNP will risk it again and again and again until they get it and then after that deny it forever. To them and their supporters (half the damn country) they missed out by a whisker and are just waiting for the "age demographic" to push for it in the long term. They run off of voting bases that are either ignorant, nationalistic morons, single issue voters and easily gullible young 20's types who think the world is just a single vote off of being fixed forever. Their following isn't just popular, it's
fanatical. Most of them don't even understand the issues that they "care" about and treat every word from the SNPs mouth as fixed truth.
I've seen Yes voters banding together to believe an incident in Motherwell where an SNP supporter suddenly screamed "HE INSULTED ME" at a Tory MP, and then the entire crowd turned against the man instantly without ever having heard the man speak. When I asked those I saw supporting that for their evidence, they said "Well SNP are more truthworthy so..."
I've seen people at work who still believe this "£100b" pricetag nonsense for Trident renewal and who firmly believe we are "creating even more destructive nuclear warheads to threaten the world with into obeying us." I've seen SNP voters
screaming that we need to stop invading Iraq and leave ISIS in the peace "that it just wants away from imperialistic west that keeps attacking it.". A huge portion of the voterbase went for the SNP and Yes because they don't like England in football for gods sake. When they are shown raw facts from independant sources with video evidence, they just dismiss it.
The SNP is fully aware of the absolute airheadedness of its voterbase, and their tactic has been and still will be to tell them what they want to hear and whip them up into a social media frenzy. Only people who were in Scotland, in a major area leading up to the IndyRef could possibly understand how cult like the SNP is and grasp the full depths that they are willing to go to get as many votes as possible because SNP
wants this to become a perpetual issue to try and rally more behind it. To permit them to keep going at it is only going to benefit their cause, and Sturgeon has laid down an EU exit as the cornerstone to trigger the next one in pretty plain language that has been picked up by the SNP social media masses already.
It
will happen if Scotland leaves the EU, and given Scotland is the most Pro-EU country in the UK on both sides of Yes or No, I don't think it takes a genius to work out what's gonna happen then.
Also, as much as the Government might want to reach out to the Unionists, it's quite clear they don't want to talk to us, when they burn our flags (or the Ivory Coast ones, whichever one they can get their hands on) every couple of months.
