What I don't understand is why the SNP don't cut a deal with :abour to form a coalition and oust the Torys, they have far more in common with each other than they realise.
Jean Claude Juncker.
Donald Tusk.
Spain.
It has been stated numerous times by multiple eurocrats that it is not possible not for any other reason than that the membership in the treaty is the UK. Not the individual nations. Same as a region of France cannot negotiate its own deal with the EU.
When the UK gets the deal it wants from the EU, if Scotland votes for independence, you will lose that deal the the UK struck, as well as the UK market and have to forge your own agreement with the EU, which will get shot down by Spain and other EU nations. Don't get angry at the UK government because that is simply the nature of the treaties. The EU is, after all, obsessed with rules. You will be left with nothing and the SNP will have to impose austerity unlike any ever seen on the face of the earth.
Scotland's deficit is 10 percent. If you don't think that is bad Greece's is 7 percent.
Please don't be naïve. Of course Nicola Sturgeon wants the UK to fail. If it was a success she would have no case for independence. I never said she is hated by Scots, but she is hated by others for trying to sink the UK. Can't you see why it angers others that the SNP is trying the stop the UK from getting a good deal so they can have a case for independence? She is effectively trying to screw the other 92% of the UK's chances of getting a good deal.
Labour won't form a coalition with the SNP because while they disagree with the Tories on many things they are the only ones who have made a plan for brexit and are trying their best to get a good deal while the SNP are trying to scupper the deal, which is not in the interests of the other 92 percent of labours support.
Don't you understand it would be suicide for labour to ally with a party actively campaigning for the destruction of their nation? They would lose the support of other British remainers and brexiters alike whose primary allegiance is the to the UK first, not the EU.
