Who are Scottish people voting for next month?

This is nonsense.

Scottish vote -

Remain - 1,661,191 = 62%

Leave - 1,018,322 = 37.9%

Brexit was rejected by almost two thirds of Scots who voted, and "Remain" was the preference in every single Council Ward without exception.

I sometimes wonder if people remember that a 2014 'Yes' vote meant leaving the EU regardless? It feels like that part of the history has been completely rewritten lately.

I’m not blaming these untrue things on anyone. Have you wandered into a wrong thread or do you somehow have a vote on the 7th despite not living here?

I will be pleased for you if you get Independance.
You wont be able to blame anything on everyone else then. My children were all born in Scotland, but would never ever choose to live there.

I don’t need to look it up. We can’t borrow. It’s that simple.

So why are you over spending? You are racking up huge debt. You can have ours as well when you leave, if you believe what you want to.

See my earlier post. This is a thread about the Scottish General Election. Your posts are completely irrelevant 👍

It’s like catching smoke. We have zero debt because we can’t borrow. All of our “debt” has been run up by WM. Because the UK is skint.

Well obviously not as they have a xenophobe as a parent.

We have a balanced budget.

This is the problem with the UK being too Westminster centric: Sir Keir this, Sir Keir that; will he resign, won't he resign? Andy Burnham, Angela Raynor, Wes Streeting will they won't they?

O.M.G.

As if there's nothing else going on.

I’d rather Westminster than Holyrood: I’d get rid of the SP

Vote tactically to stop the SNP.

If stopping the SNP is your priority, vote tactically in this election.

I despise all of them but the SNP and weirdo Greens have ruined my country so I’ll always vote against them rather than for anyone

Even someone who is normally supportive of the SNP, journalist Dani Garavelli, has written an article in this weekend's Herald decrying their legacy:
"On the SNP's watch, Scotland has stagnated. Educational standards have fallen, the cost of living has risen, and young people are struggling to secure jobs and housing".

Dani is a friend of mine. Have no idea what that has to do with you being so unhappy, tbh.

Everything written in the Herald is critical of the SNP and anti-independence. Almost everything in the National is pro SNP and independence.

This is because the company that owns them both wanted the advertising revenue from companies supporting AND opposing the Union.

So anything written in the Herald will be spun to appeal to a Unionist vote, so that you support their advertisers. Aren't you a bit suspicious that someone who normally supports the SNP did a hatchet job on them? Journalists have no choice but to take work where they get it.
