Both are the same. 

41 signatures though. Impressive. Should be easy to implement though ...

You mean like the empire they used to have. 

What gets me is the arrogance of the brexiters. 

How is leaving the EU and attempting national sovereignty anything like the empire? 

Don’t get me wrong I don’t think anyone within government actually wants a proper brexit anymore, if they ever did but there is people out there’s who view the EU and the Tories as poison alike.

So.  You voted yes to not be run by London I take it.  But you would like to run by Brussels?  Is that your argument?

If I had a choice, then yes. 

Oh and the eu only controls around 5% of UK powers, whereas Westminster controls around 94% of Scotland’s powers. 

Go figure.

National sovereignty by trying to include Ireland back into the empire fold. 

You only have to read some of the comments in the DM, DT etc to see that these mad fruit loop brexiters dream of their lost empire, albeit under the guise of the commonwealth.

Germany will prop up Scotland’s utopia socialist state ...:

Why can’t we prop it up ourselves. 

Norway manages quite well. 

Then again Scotland has mitigated a few of Westminster Dickensian nightmares.

That’s a decision for Ireland no?

Using social media to gauge public opinion is probably a bad idea, unless it’s to suit an agenda, easy to find such opinions online, didnt we try and reject that during the Indy referendum?

I’d love it if we could but there’s very little public or polical will unfortunately.

I have figured.  Would rather be run from Scotland.  Is that simple enough for you?

I’ve no problem with that. 

But my choice was between Westminster and the eu. 

Your option, at the moment, would incur a much bigger hurdle for the Scottish electorate to swallow for us to be independent. 

Personally I’ve always advocated that the SNP should offer a multi option referendum on Scotland place with the eu and I lean more towards EFTA.

My names Kevin 

Do you get the vote for independence in Kevin, Syndey?  Sorry, only kidding.  Stand on pal.  I don't want separation from any country.  But taking care of Scotland's affairs should have nothing to do with Brussels.  Believe me.  I was there for 10 years in a row.  Sorry Ramy, this is the nearest you will get to 10 in a row from me ❤️

I did not. Which I agree with. Could have voted in the EU referendum but didn’t agree with that. 

Britain is as much a country as the EU is.

Was it the Irish who started this petition?

As I said ‘arrogance.’

I should have added that I don’t think any political party in Scotland wants to, or can achieve a socialist utopia here.

I just want to be run by a wee place called Scotland.  As McGonigal said and I quote 'The rose of all the world is not for me, I want for my part.  Just the little white rose of Scotland.  That smells sharp and sweet.  And breaks your heart'.

The eu has never claimed to be a country, but Britain has and still does on a daily basis.

It’s only a petition. Of the Irish I know you’d struggle to find any will to “rejoin” the UK.

Of course not but if I remember correctly there was a reasonable socialist agenda from the yes campaign.

I’m sure I could find some quotes from people within the higher positions of the EU that give a hint of that. Who is “Britain” unionist politicians can and will do that but it’s still false.

So all the way from Australia you have an opinion on Scottish independence.  What is on the flag of your country again?  You might want to try and ask the locals.
