Brits, do you think the Uk should have a December election?

And how would you vote?

I want one asap. I will vote SNP. Then I want them to call indyref2. Sick of waiting for them to pull the trigger.

And you really believe that Scotland has the GDP to survive alone - because the EU isn't accepting any more basket cases?

@ArtieKat Yes and if you can't understand the difference between the two unions then you're an idiot. Can't wait to leave. Bye.

@thatscottishguy I think you have totally misunderstood my position. I'm not a Tory - I tend towards Libertarianism if anything - and I don't have a problem with Scottish independence. But the GDP of Scotland as an independent nation is not high enough to support the policies of the SNP - even Alex Salmond was forced to concede that Oil was not the cash cow it was once thought to be. And no matter what I think of the EU, the pipe-dream of ScotNats to be an immediate part of it is a nonsense. You only have to look at the countries lining up to join to realise that an independent Scotland with no real wealth of its own to offer is not going to be fast-tracked. It will be a wait of years - by which time the EU in its present form will probably have ceased to exist.

Get real, son!

P.S. I think that in another referendum, when the realities are presented to your fellow-countrymen, they will grumble a lot but will not take the plunge.

@ArtieKat Didn't say you were a Tory just was pointing out it's a stupid meme. I'd argue but I've given up trying to convince people who don't have a say in it. Maybe after we leave I'll start again.

@thatscottishguy Good luck. For the record, I think that Ireland should have had independence in 1916.

@ArtieKat That we agree on
