    Because the chances of winning go up directly in proportion to how big a mess the Tories make of Brexit negotiations.

    Negotiations are 2 way. The EU could be the ones to "mess" up.

    I think we all saw a very nervous, sweaty, dabbing top lip Dominic Raab showing yesterday just how much the Tories have messed up so far. His entire speech was based on hoping the EU will simply carry on with things as if the UK were still a member.



    If Brexit has shown nothing else to Scots voters, even if it doesn't happen it's that Scotland can be ignored both politically ( 15 mins on devolution debate/no Scots MP spoke ) and legally ( Supreme Court case ) when it suits. Union binds are coming loose very quickly.
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    A proud Scots pencil hovers over their referendum ballot paper and thinks....that English £1.5K, I quite like the things that buys me and my family. :)

    Is the 1.5k not per person?

    Who cares
    I doubt England will be handing out any 1.5k per head to anyone in a few months time. Is far more likely to be bread and medicine handouts instead. So that's something for us all to look forward to eh ?

    The electorate. Self financial interest overules political views.

    Some of you Scots don’t know how good you’ve got it.
    That £1.5K is huge, for example its meant that Scotland has largely escaped the harsh austerity regimen other parts of the U.K. have been through for nearly a decade. The funding formula Scotland enjoys as part of the Union will always abrogate any undue risks that come along. Switched on Scots know that deep down.
