After that, This resulted more new members joining SNP (likely passing it's original peak in 2016) over Brexit power grab.
Gotta love the jeers and laughs in the video as they leave the House. Nothing funnier than watching the collapse of a 300 year old union due to selfish nationalistic interests, interests that aren't even in the best interests of the English themselves, no less the Scots.
Yep, Like all Empires are fall due of diversity conflicts as one of obvious factors.
Am I missing something, I dunno if I'm being dumb but how does that tweet show this was a planned and why does this matter? People have done walk outs in the past, Labour did the same in 1987 because Scotland wasn't being taken seriously
Literally all thats being asked is that Scotland's interests be taken into consideration but thats not an acceptable thing to ask I suppose but you know shit like this is lmao

This isn't anything to do with the SNP, its about Scotland's voice being heard and if you have a problem with that then I dunno what else to say?
I really feel like I missed something..
Wales voted to leave too
We talking only about Scotland and rest of United Kingdom future after events like this one. Wales may can change their mind of leaving UK if they want in future.
I think we probably will when the money runs out. There is no money to be made here without coal and steel.
this whole strain of "I'm perfect and can never do anything remotely wrong" we're seeing in politicians these days is quite scary. Brexit should be stopped for a hundred different reasons, some of which are because of the quite obvious baffonery involved with basically the fact that they're less than a year out and have NO framework, but others include, total destruction of all institutional norms, corruption, and oh ya, Russia's big fucking thumb on the scale.
they're just so totally committed to this they're going to jump off that cliff without even thinking
Both parties are stuck because if they're the first to abandon Brexit, that's an automatic ceding of a few percentage points of vote to the other party - when the election race was so close that both major parties could almost form a coalition majority. Neither wants to be the first to blink. The Government has to govern, but the party also has to campaign. All the time, we're always on the campaign trail watching for anything that might change our vote. A small percentage of Brexit supporters currently control Britain's politics. And isn't it terrifying how far down the rabbit hole we can go?
At this rate, beached whales will make up a greater constituency than the Welsh people, what with job numbers and our economy suffering still further than it already has as a result of Brexit.
Well they objective voted to leave so I'm not sure why you've rated disagree. The fact is that people are trying to push the whole "England is dragging the UK out of the EU" when it wasn't just England that voted to leave.
Reason I rate disagree, Because only 52% of Wales want to leave EU nevermind other half (47%) are still want remained which is little better than England results. And besides most of Welsh older generation wants to leave via Right-wing policies while like England the majority of younger ones wanted to remained.
