And the pound will come back up, don't fret, this is not even the single biggest drop in a day.

Scotland needs permission to have a referendum and even if that passes they again need the result to be honored. If the UK just says no I guess they could form the SRA or something.

doverhog posted:Scotland needs permission to have a referendum and even if that passes they again need the result to be honored. You forget the UK needs to negotiate with the EU from a disadvantageous position. "Sure ok, trade deal, but you let Scotland have its referendum, and honor it." After Brexit passed, I no longer believe politics will behave according to rationality and law. It's literally a collective childish tantrum, extending into the infinite.

Are the people of Scotland still going to want to rejoin or stay in the EU when they realize they'll almost definitely lose their euro exemption?

bencreateddisco posted:Spain says they will veto Scottish accession so I guess that kills it? Spain has reelections in two days because the last one resulted in a stale mate. It doesn't look like anyone is going to be able to form a government because everyone hates everyone else, but the PP has slim chances to coalition with anyone (and no chances with Rajoy). They could have a pro-catalan-referendum government. Or no government at all. Who knows what Spains Scotland position will be in a year or so.

Extreme0 posted:Pound is hosed. Euro is more appealing now. Deciding that the horrifically flawed euro is better than the pound after one day of market panic seems premature at best. Scotland's probably going to have to endure the pain of withdrawal before they could rejoin anyway, so I'm not seeing much upside unless you really just want Scotland to be independent for its own sake and are willing to eat an additional poo poo sandwich to get there. Oil prices aren't exactly what they were for the last referendum either, which seems like another factor a new independence movement would have to address. The kind of deal the EU ends up negotiating with the UK would matter a whole lot too, because Scotland can't afford to have significant barriers to trade with England.

Juncker doesn't really belong in that political space. Even if he believes it (he does come from the centre-right) he's in a position where he has to show competence and successful policies. More importantly, the referendum wasn't about this anyway; the Tories did a good job dismantling workers' rights themselves without needing input from Brussels to do so.

It'll be 90% soon enough, as funnily enough the feral underclass you're deriding is a product of poverty and lack of education and public services.
