Disagree. It’s about brexit and the people I’ve spoken to confirm that for me. Although we’ll never truly know.

One of the tweets suggested that 65 of the seats included in the exit polls are "too close to call" not sure how they're presented in the outcome

I voted Labour tonight, didn't expect this kind of hammering but also we need to establish 1 more thing... That this puts to bed the idiotic notion that remain would ever have won a second referendum, Leave would crush it

Dissapointed in the result in regards to social aspects, but atleast now brexit will definitely get done.

What a waste of 3 years

If Scotland want a referendum and the vote to go it alone then let them go. They won’t vote for independence. People always seem to forget the silent majority.

I voted against independence in 2014. If it came down to it again, I'd vote for it.

How can you compare the winning of seats to a referendum? It was not a landslide the first time round, so I doubt Leave would 'crush it'.

Fair point, but even the biggest optimist doesn't think remain would win a 2nd referendum after tonight, the country have seemingly punished Labour and punished them hard for brexit.

Either way, its all a guess I suppose as it definitely won't happen now

Independence possibly. Reunification a totally different issue.
Click to expand...

The polls on the subject are all in terms of reunification. They show significant rises in support for that when progressively extreme versions of Brexit are presented. Don't know whether they'll be more likely to go or Scotland

Even though they weren't in government, they didn't call the referendum, and they haven't spent 3 years fucking around. Instead the party responsible gets an extra 50 seats. Dumbasses the lot of them

I disagree because the way the voting is counted and done is completely different. Personally I think that remain would scrape it but that would probably cause even more problems.

A second Scottish independence referendum within the next 5 years is an almost certainty. 55 seats the people of scotland have spoken.

I can see this result only causing more divides, increasing racial tensions and hate crime, and continued rise of nationalis and racism. Just like we've seen since the Brexit vote.

Brexits not going to bring the sunny uplands people think it will. I think people are going to be sorely disappointed when they're eating their chlorinated chicken.

I lived in Scotland for nearly a decade. I live in the Midlands now. How could I vote for Scotland to stay in the union now when it will have a shit Brexit forced upon it, along with right wing policies it clearly doesn't agree with?

It was trading 1.32 before retracting 1.305. The forex market closes 9pm before it reopen an hour (i.e 10 pm) and that was when the (what the traders would call) explosive move took place at the open once exit polls were projected.

No, it's more than just Brexit, it's about Westminster's control and disconnection to the will of the Scottish people, and the need to control their own destiny.
