Comment	Look, it's clear you're just going to insult anything and anyone who questions what you're saying, but I'll respond anyway. > are you saying that because you wanted to stay apart of the EU that’s the reason you want to stay apart of the union That's not what I said at all. The point I'm making is that I firmly believe we are a better country when working as close as possible with our neighbours - domestic and aboard. Scotland is a better country within the UK and within the EU, that's my opinion. However, our relationship with rUK is significantly more important than it with the EU, due to our shared cultural and domestic ties, never mind the significantly higher amount of trading. I'm not a separatist like yourself - we are better together. Onto your second point. I'm convinced you just haven't a clue how our voting system works, but I'll explain anyway. Westminster MP's are elected in a first past the post system. Scotland electing 80% plus of MP's from the SNP does not necessarily signal the majority of the country supporting them (as I mentioned, only 45% of the country did). > but hey that doesn’t mean people are wanting to vote yes It absolutely doesn't. I reference my explanation of first past the post voting system once again. I urge you to keep spouting this shite about how the majority of the country (55%~) of the country are racists and hate Scotland - that's definitely going to win you independence.

It absolutely doesn't. I reference my explanation of first past the post voting system once again.
