As much as you Brits think it's a shit hole, it will never be the real UK without Ireland. You'll lose N. Ireland too in a few decades, and Scotland will definitely go sooner or later. Wales is a non-country imo.

Maybe you're right. I just recon that now, while times in the UK are relatively good after 2008, then the Scots are more in favour with the union. I don't think it will last though given your debt and immigration issues. Admittedly I'm not an economist and this is just an uneducated opinion from the other side of the world so yeah

You mean the debt which will start falling this year due to deficit reduction and growth? You think Scotland, the most pro-immigration part of the UK, is the part of the UK worried about immigration?

Maybe you should learn a little about stuff before being stupid?

>>51563609
That Lord Ashcroft poll straight after the referendum was as dodgy and inaccurate as his constituency polling in the general election.

My poll was from the legit Scottish Referendum Study which used proper samples:

>You mean the debt which will start falling this year due to deficit reduction and growth?
They said the deficit would be closed by the end of their first term. It keeps being pushed back, why believe it now?

>You think Scotland, the most pro-immigration part of the UK, is the part of the UK worried about immigration?
I didn't mean they'd want to break up because of immigration. I mean immigration will lead to very serious issues in a few decades time, and it could lower the standard of living across the UK. Anyway I get the feeling the Scots are so pro immigration because there's no where near as many up there as in London.

The government gave up on that way back in 2012. Since 2012 they admitted it will be a two Parliament job. The graph I posted is from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) which is independent on government. Anyway due to economic growth, the debt as % GDP will start to fall before the deficit is closed in cash terms.

>I mean immigration will lead to very serious issues in a few decades time, and it could lower the standard of living across the UK.
Let me guess, you believed the memes that all our immigration is Muslim. Have you EVER tried looking at the real immigration figures (pic related) or is it only tabloid headlines and /int/ for Frodo? Pic related

They got around 50% of the vote. And what the Nationalist isn't telling you is that 1) some people vote SNP as a protest vote, rather than for independence (otherwise Scotland would have left in the referendum), and young people are more pro-union (see >>51563069)

But in case you missed it, there actually was an independence referendum and No won. Also the SNP is an absurd liberal, nationalist party. There is no logic or sense behind it nor can any real predictions be made from it.

The Kiwi has been consistently wrong. You're a Nationalist so naturally you'll believe the fantasies that sustain you. For example, the oil boom that the SNP predicted after Scotland became independent in 2014. You all believed this right up until the crash.

This,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-34283948

Is a rigorous study of how people voted in the referendum. The Lord Ashcroft poll was not. Simple as that.

But as a personal request, I hope you do sincerely believe Scotland will become independent soon, I hope you get another referendum because I'd love to see you lose again.

Did I say that? No. You were talking about immigration not the people who are already here. And if you think the majority who are here don't integrate, you're even more deluded than I thought

>I thought you were a smart and unbias guy
I don't give a toss about what you thought - you are a moron with a worldview based on memes. You are as deluded as the /int/ retards who were saying Scotland would vote Yes last year, who thought Ed Miliband would be PM, who thought UKIP would win loads of seats. The stupid opinions are mainstream on /int/ and you're one of those people.

>Stop moving the goal posts and attacking the SNP.
It's entirely relevant to demonstrate how deluded you people are

The SNP's case for independence, the whole economic foundations for it, rested on an oil boom (from $100/barrel!) to generate enough revenues
