No, they like the EU.
I don't blame Sturgeon and it was always on the cards if we voted leave.
Fixed
I honestly don't think most people have truly thought about all the ramifications of voting to leave the EU.
Hopefully Scotland have the balls to leave the UK now and rejoin the EU. I'd love to have a reason to move up there
If they were that bothered why didn't more of them turn up and vote? 66% turnout vs nearly 75% in England.

The Scots were always going to leave sometime soon, so let them get on with it.

Chances are low but the fear from Brussels could be that we create a domino effect, The leader of the Far Right in France, Marine Le Pen, immediately welcomed the result, parties could use the promise of a referendum to try and gain power in other EU countries and with UK now leading the charge it could work to change public opinion.

No. It couldn't. It's a stupid idea and will never happen.

I wonder if and how this would have affected the Scottish referendum on remaining in the UK if that was held again.
EDIT: I see this has already been wondered upon, As another said if anyone's going to go over this it'd be preferably if they got on with it so we can get down to business

Yes but if you randomly punch one of the the other 48% you might be accused of being an abuser of cry babies
We can all crack one liners once that dummy is spat out, fortunately im one of the 52% who still has his dummy.
I'm not... you do understand what sort of workers tend to be most excluded under points based systems? No one is going to be blocking French bankers for example... so your comment regarding them blocking us if we block them, that applies to the low skilled.

I'd change my vote if the EU deal we got was actually meaningful and couldn't be twisted later without our agreement.
The previous negotiations Cameron had weren't worth anything really.
I don't think the EU expected us to vote leave, maybe they would take negotiations more seriously if given another chance?
Agree completely. They need to take back their own sovereignty. But if they join the EU they will just lose it again, which would be pathetic.

I'm not suggesting for one minute that Europe will stop trading with us, but that trading will inevitably get more expensive as time goes on due to regulatory differences. That's not ideal for the UK.
The EU's main focus now is not the UK, it's about managing stability of the bloc and that will mean that they will need to take tough decisions to make sure that the EU survives, possibly at the detriment to the UK.
