So no longer have a mandate for another referendum.
More constituency votes for pro union parties than pro independence parties. |  |

I don't like the dishonesty of not telling it like it is with regards the economics of Scottish independence or at best giving sugar coated ones. It's obviously for Scotland to decide and if they feel being independent and having better control is worth a short term economic hit, then all the power to them. I just think all decisions should be well informed.
However, given a lot of the people in Government criticising independence along these lines spent the last 5 years lying through their teeth about the economics of Brexit (and still are lying about it), I think their criticisms are more than a little hypocritical. Anyone who pushed for Brexit talking about economic benefits has zero credibility when talking about Scottish independence. [Post edited 9 May 2021 12:37]

i can't get my head around gove etc saying snp's share of the vote (48%) isn't a mandate for even a referendum
the same people who argued that a 44% vote in 2019 was a stonking mandate for a destructive brexit |  |
