Dammit

I was chatting to one of my colleagues the other day who lives in Scotland, I suggested that the SNP were likely to win a second Indy Ref - his view was that Scotland was sick of the SNP and that in his view Scottish Tories were going to win the majority of the seats at the next election.

Any Scots/Scottish residents able to comment on that?

It’s bad but not that bloody bad.

While I disagree with SNP on a lot of things and personally find Sturgeon just god awful i would still rather them over Tory’s. They took my mines, my milk and probably something else with M at the start.

The problem with a second IndyRef with the EU being at the front is due to Spain and Catalan we are no where near guaranteed entry. Far from it actually.

Brexit seems to have refocused their feelings on that. Edinburgh also the most popular destination for Spanish holiday makers in UK apparently, (75k per year) and Scotland has a stable population of around 10,000 Spaniards-mostly young people working through Uni that then go back to Spain. Not huge numbers but has a big cultural impact in both directions over time... EU project in action I suppose.
