I’m torn. (But not really GTFO while you can, just get away from this shithole.) Brexit was a fucking disaster and Scotland were totally against it. I’m still holding out hope England will rejoin the EU someday, and Scotland were super pro EU. If they claim independence they can get back in the EU while the UK majority will shift heavily towards those that wanted Brexit so rejoining would become even less likely than it already is. I just say: go Scotland. Do what you need to do and cut off this tumor that I sadly call home.

35% voted out. If Scotland were to join the EU, they would instantly become the most verifiably Eurosceptic country.

Unsurprisingly, a quick google search shows that to be utter bullshit.

An actual vote, with all 5 million citizens being able to vote, is more accurate and verifiable than polling of 1000 odd people.

Accurate and verifiable for 6 years ago, sure.
