That may work, but the idea that a group of people would be chosen to be voted are the ones that are favored by the population, and there is a chance that not all of the chosen people are competent, and could be impotent. The idea could work, but take this drawback in mind.I’m sorta worried about that vastly complicated issue of who to vote for to decide on what happens in the referendum. Why don’t we get some people whose job it is to understand who is best, and get them to vote.
Also, regarding the name, that looks like a spelling test nightmare. could I suggest omitting the “n”? For the sake of the children.
Also, if I remember correctly, during the independence referendum it was worked out that Scotland sends more in taxes to Westminster than it receives in funding, so it could succeed as an independent country.
And eh, feel free to rebuild hadrian's wall. You can use it to keep us in, and we'll use it to keep you out. It's a win win.
I think you have it a bit backwards. People have been fleeing Scotland for 200 years. My own family moved from South Ayrshire to Northants, I wonder why that might be.
Regardless, Spain will not allow Scotland to join the EU, even if they vote again on their referendum. Once the North Sea oil field runs out its gonna be looking like Belarus.
I've been thinking recently about the referendum. The EU is a really complicated issue, and it's pretty unreasonable to expect individual people to make a broad decision on a vastly complicated issue. This just leads to both sides coming up with whatever bullshit they think will sway the masses, and now many people are regretting voting leave.
Self-determination is not “whatever bullshit” reasoning.
I doubt Spain would veto Scotland’s entry into the EU if it was done via a referendum. If Scotland declared that it was a separate nation and started the process to join then they probably would, as that would set a precedent for the various regions of Spain that want to become independent. The Spanish government isn’t planning to give the regions an independence vote, so it’s not a problem for them.
Self-determination was the reason why a small minority of people wanted to leave. The big issues were the money we send to the EU and immigration. Iain Duncan-Smith has now said that they never actually meant that the NHS would get £350million if they won, and immigration isn’t going to stop just because we’re not part of the EU. People also seemed to forget that free movement works both ways, someone from the UK could have worked in any country in the EU or EEA.
basically, we r fucked
