Should we suspend Scottish devolution?

Christ, we have enough problems trying to take on the administration of a small number of fairly simple welfare benefits that were devolved by the 2016 Scotland Act.

Not at all, an independent Scotland's chances of EU accession would be pretty good, indeed I suspect - if independence happened soon - Scotland would become an EU member before any of the WB6.

"It is unacceptable and naive for a state to leave a larger organisation of nations with a central governing body, in favour of independence and sovereignty and think they can be successful on their own. " - scream all the Brexiteers and Leave voters.

No they don't?

Or at least I dont as a Yes/Leave voter in the referendums.

Power back to Westminister, but administered The Scotland Office in St Andrew's House in Edinburgh?

Like NHS Scotland has never been run from Westminister.

Similarly Scotlands legal and judiciary system.

Well it's the only way to stop neverendums, it will never end unless we either let you go independent or sack off the devolution which gives the SNP its power. So the fair way is to be open and honest (a stranger to most politicians) and say, Scotland decides on its future in or out the UK, first, and the rest of the UK does not get a say! However if Scotland decide to stay in the UK the consequences of the SNP dishonestly I'm recent years is the end of the recent Scottish devoted powers and a further referendum where the rest of the UK decide if Scotland keeps Holyrood at all or is treated the same as England.

So money where you mouth is, what's it to be. In a stay in UK vote, let's see how the rest of the UK feel about Scotland getting more public money than they do or let Scotland sail free and save the rest of the UK money.

P.s the fact they do have greater social policies and safety nets, I believe is the reason that Scotland voted remain in 2016, My view.

Inaccurate as ever

So administered from Westminster too then or not?

Just wondered if you thought Westminster would be ready for that, like are there enough folk versed in Scots law living around London and how would knowledge transfer about NHS Scotland work?

The rest of the UK can have a referendum to leave the Union, nothing stopping that at the minute if the populus wanted.

My view is Scotland voted remain as it had little EU immigration and its population close historic ties to Ireland/N Ireland.

Usually I just dismiss people whom I disagree with, but your post was so thoughtfully argued and well presented that I have no option but to admit defeat.

Careful now. You're not allowed to admit that people voted Leave because of immigration.

Brilliant
This is inaccurate as ever, also

Did you get the "My Big Book of Debating" for Christmas?

Careful now. You’ll get reported for insults!

Careful! You might get in trouble for off topic inflammatory comments.

If you want to stop getting into bother for breaking forum rules, maybe stop breaking forum rules.... like posting off topic inflammatory posts like this.

Precious, aren’t you?

For what it’s worth most of your on topic comments are inflammatory, so how you don’t receive warnings for them is more the point. You constantly bait other users, constantly throw around terms such as ‘bigot’ and generally lambast anyone who doesn’t agree with you, as you’ve exemplified in this thread. Once a poster doesn’t agree with you, they’re suddenly on your blacklist, no matter their opinion.

I cannot agree with factually incorrect statements like

"It is unacceptable and naive for a state to leave a larger organisation of nations with a central governing body, in favour of independence and sovereignty and think they can be successful on their own. " - scream all the Brexiteers and Leave voters.

This just not true as I and another leave voter confirm.

Oh, it would be lovely if you had done this deliberately, but knowing you, it's got to be a
