First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the option is now on the table for Scotland and her priority is to act in her country’s best interests. All 32 local authorities in Scotland delivered a vote for Remain but despite the vote, country still faces having to exit the European Union (EU), after the Leave campaign edged ahead across the UK. She says it is democratically unacceptable to take the UK out of the EU against the will of the Scots and believes many people who voted against Scottish independence are reassessing their decision after the Brexit vote. Ms Sturgeon said: "I'm proud of Scotland and how we voted yesterday. "We said clearly we don't want to leave the European Union. “As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against our will. "I regard that as democratically unacceptable.” She added that legislation for another Scottish independence vote would be prepared when the Scottish Parliament approved it, saying: "The option of a second referendum must be on the table and it is on the table." The SNP manifesto for May's Scottish Parliament election said there should be another ballot if there was a "significant and material" change in circumstances from the 2014 vote, such as Scotland being taken out of the EU against its will. And Ms Sturgeon is now under pressure to deliver a second referendum. She said: "Scotland has delivered a strong, unequivocal vote to remain in the EU, and I welcome that endorsement of our European status. "The vote here makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union." "Scotland has contributed significantly to the Remain vote across the UK. "That reflects the positive campaign the SNP fought, which highlighted the gains and benefits of our EU membership, and people across Scotland have responded to that positive message." And Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, is now faced with the prospect of customs barriers for trade with EU-member the Republic of Ireland. Irish republicans Sinn Fein have demanded a poll on Irish unity following the referendum, where 440,707 (56%) people voted to Remain and 349,442 (44%) voted to Leave. Sinn Fein's national chairman Declan Kearney said the question of Northern Ireland remaining as part of the UK had now been brought into sharp focus. He said: "We have a situation where the north is going to be dragged out on the tails of a vote in England. "That is a huge democratic deficit for our society, building on the existing democratic deficit of partition. "The British Government have now forfeited its mandate to represent the north of Ireland in relation to the European Union." "We now have a situation where Brexit has become a further cost of partition, a further cost of the Union and Sinn Fein will now press our demand, our long standing demand, for a border poll." https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1334551/does-brexit-spell-the-end-of-the-uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shiloh357 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 My understanding is that referendums are not legally binding so there is a possibility that instead of leaving Cameron could change his mind and disregard the vote altogether and keep them in the EU.

I do not blame the people of Scotland and Ireland for being upset. How does England fare without the rest of the Kingdom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
