Extremely smug at these referendum stats today. Believed in a ref on the final deal for a year and a half :)
They will never solidify. The first vote should never have happened. There was no clear majority. If they had held off by a day, it could have been a completely different result. Even 4 years from now we'll likely see no clear change on the subject. It's sink or swim at this point. No one has the luxury of time. It's unfair on the EU and it's unfair on the Brits. Clearly the best option is to not leave. If we need to start asking questions on how our government allowed this almighty cockup then we should, but delaying isn't helping anyone.
I don't see it any more. Seeing quite a lot of regret, especially from the people who voted as a protest because they assumed remain would win anyway.
While i wouldn't blame the Scots for wanting to get out, looking at Brexit shows how hard it is to leave a Union. If Brexit is not feasible then how is Scottish Independence?
Edit - I think the tories know this, hence their complete disregard for Scottish interests
Yeah, I should have been more clear that I was talking about people inside EU country members.
Plottier Twistier: It's Jacob Rees-Mogg. He was only joking all along!

I completely understand that. :D
Its all very embarrassing. Normally the opposition would be a shoe-in now. But the opposition is a rabble with Corbyn and Diane....
Really wish the Labour party was not so rubbish.
I mean you say that but at the moment, I don't think even England is ideologically compatible with itself lol.I was a staunch NO with indyref1 , is absolutely vote YES this time. Scotland and England are no longer ideologically compatible in 2018 , the countries collective viewpoints are just completely different.
If things are going to go to shit regardless then I'd rather we were the ones guiding the country than yet another Tory government who don't see Scotland as a nice place to go their hunting trips.
Sidenote - Labour aren't our saviours , Corbyn would lose a 2nd GE to the weakest and most shambolic Tory party in history
Former minister who WAS very loyal tells me 'she's had it' - suggests although as 'no one wanted this', May would lose a confidence vote because she's been 'pretty useless' - brutal stuff
Irony considering if Scotland hadn't voted for the Scottish Conservatives in protest we wouldnt have this Conservative government right now
A handful of regular Tory seats returned to the Tories (after the monumental, unthinkable 56 or so seats they got at the prior election)... So what on earth are you talking about? It is not Scotland's fault that tens upon tens of Tory seats in SE England could be won by monekys in a blue rosette.Irony considering if Scotland hadn't voted for the Scottish Conservatives in protest we wouldnt have this Conservative government right now

Yup, nothing more than a post facto rationalisation
Feels like I'm watching a Game of Thrones episode. Shame I'm not British cause this would be good entertainment.

Gove isn't jumping at the Brexit Sec job... think he's stalling to see what happens
I'll believe it when I see it tbh.
I assure you this is not entertaining in the least.Feels like I'm watching a Game of Thrones episode. Shame I'm not British cause this would be good entertainment.
Maybe, maybe not. But what some people have been asking them to do for ages now (resist Brexit entirely, push for a second referendum) always looked like terrible tactics, from the perspectives of stopping Brexit, getting a better deal or not tanking their chances of being elected.
Especially given it's clear from the last two that they really don't do anything of note anyway. They stand there looking dumb whilst people explain to them that we're an island etc.Who in their right mind would want the Brexit Secretary job?
