What’s the reasoning for that,? Take back control? Make our own decisions? Control our own borders? It seems people were massively in favour of that for the Brexit vote………. funny how Scotland isn’t allowed to even decide.
@@gdwlaw5549 Look what has happened to the UK since Brexit - zero benefit to any one and a much weaker country as a result of becoming much smaller.

@vincescotian8083 aw here we go again another comment about independence seriously I ain't going to get into because I voted no & it would be again mire so under they clowns
Why does no one point out that leaving the UK in 2014 also meant leaving the EU. The SNP would've done both with 50% plus 1 vote. Swinney would make a deal with Auld nick himself to win an independence referendum.
Great comment. There is only one agenda with the SNP....independence at any price. Had Scotland voted to leave the UK then they would also have also voted to leave the EU and, given Scotland's inherent fiscal budget deficit without the Barnett Formula, it would be next to impossible to rejoin without back breaking austerity. The truth of the matter is that the question of EU membership is a convenient lever to agitate difference and irritation with Scotland's nearest neighbour. The SNP like to present Scotland as a single entity with one voice. The truth of course is that 40% of Scots voted for Brexit and 30% of Scots voted Tory at the 2019 elections. What they cannot accept is that a plumber from Dundee has more in common with a sparky from Liverpool than a lawyer from Edinburgh and that lawyer from Edinburgh will have more in common with an accountant from London than a fishermen from Arbroath.
The SNP can’t even run their own party finances without someone dipping their hands in the till. Why should they be trusted again? They’ve failed to grow the Scottish economy since they’ve been in power, a bit like the tories at Westminster who have succeeded in shrinking the UK economy. We need change north and south of the border, and it’s all about the economy. If people want security then we need to engage in more trade deals, and we need to start with our closest partners in Europe. If Labour negotiate better deals then we can improve the economy and then people will know what the best deal outside of the EU gives us. Then a real debate about our future can begin.
It seems like the SNP have their party line worked out, regardless of next week's result. Blame Westminster for all shortcomings, rather than colloborating with them to deliver the best result for the people of Scotland.
We had an education system that was the envy of the world. Standards dropped after we became devolved. We receive more public spend per head than the rest of the UK (more than we contribute to the UK economy)
For as long as they exist, the SNP will always pursue a second, third, fourth (ad infinitum) independence referendum for as long as Scotland is not free of Westminster governance. It's their raison-d'etre. If anybody on the Scottish electoral register doesn't like that, they should vote for a unionist party of their choosing. There are plenty of them.
At the time of this interview the polls had the SNP winning 20 seats. If Swinney had known they would only win 10 seats his jaw would have hit the floor. Apparently leaving the EU has been "an unmitigated disaster" for Scotland and yet a 2014 "yes" vote would have taken Scotland OUT of the EU. Go figure. Swinney and his mates took for ever to raise taxation in Scotland above those elsewhere in the UK and refuse to raise them still further. What they want is for Westminster to raise taxes for the whole of the UK so that the English taxpayer can pay even more for greater public spending in Scotland.
Novel idea! I seem to recall the SNP's justification for the FIRST vote was their support and seat numbers had gone UP. Now it'll be "we should have another indyref 'cos we've lost umpteen seats." Maybe if they do a Rishi Special and almost get wiped out, they'll argue that means a vote's unnecessary and they should just be invited to declare UDI?
It's a shame if only Brexit happened before the initial referendum then Scotland would for sure be independent now since the only reason Scots voted to stay was because independence meant leaving the EU & going through the application process again
Explain how brexit has affected Scotland or the uk….all the problems around the world are done deliberately and everything that’s happening in the uk is happening in the world…..the uk has 6 best economy in world and 2 nd in Europe 😂
WHERE was Swinney’s concern about ‘disenfranchisement’ when his master Krankie planned to call second Separation referendum during the October 2023 holidays ? This of course is the difficulty in having an English interviewer - he didn’t have the knowledge to put that question to Swinney.
