Doesn’t matter. It’s Upto the people of Scotland to decide and nobody else. Same with Northern Ireland/Ireland if they have that vote as well. 
 

I will be very sad if she gets a vote as I believe they will get independence. I could be wrong. I didn’t think brexit would be voted for. 
 

Sad because it means I will need to leave the country ive called home for nearly 15 years. 

Would you get a vote ?

Who decides?

I qualify to vote, as should the whole Scottish Diaspora.

In the last vote was it just folk who lived there ? So Jocks working in London did not get a vote ? Did non jocks living there vote ? 

No they didn’t get a vote. Just folk living here.

I worked with a guy who was an true blue Tory, full jock, used to run the Scottish conservatives. He was furious that did not get a vote. So it is anyone on the Scottish electoral register ?

I did get the option to vote yes of course and I would get a vote in any further referendum

You qualify as much as my mum does. You have the same rights to vote here as I do in Germany. Fuck all

Yes basically although an anomaly with regards to 16-18 year olds whom I’m sure got a vote last time as they won’t be on the electoral register so had to be registered specifically. I may have made that up of course

Added the info above mate, 16 year old got the vote.....SNP are like about re voting age hoping to attract the gullible and naive. Aren't they hoping all the migrants can vote too ?

I notice you've changed your wording from "illegal" to "non-legal"...

Refugees

I still feel that, as a British citizen, if someone wants to take away a part of the nation, then I should have a say.

This does conflict with my libertarian view of "if they want to go, they should", and the SNP should not get away wih the lie that it is aiming for independence, when it seems quite content to surrender that to the EU. It is about seperating from England.

I didn't know that. So Scots living in the rest of the UK can't vote in the referendum? 

That's a big portion of 'remainers' I would suspect?

[Mounts Kipper]

If they get this independence referendum and they vote to leave will there be another vote to decide whether to join the EU?

It’s based on the electoral roll.

if you’re registered on that , you’re in.

You would imagine a fair few. Strange how there is no desire on the part of the SNP to include these people in the vote don’t you think?

you would imagine so. But I genuinely don’t see Scotland being accepted into the EU anyway and it’s so far down the line it’s untrue.

I noticed the life expectancy in Scotland is shockingly low mate. We'll all be deed before lockdown is over 😄

I'd be annoyed if I was a Scot who was going to vote no but lived with my Mrs in Carlisle!
