User blog comment:A Heroic Smurf/Views on Scottish Independence/@comment-5291852-20160624151141

I'd never thought I'd be coming back to this blog post, but I feel like it's necessary. As of today, the UK has decided to leave the EU, whereas all of Scotland and most of Northern Ireland voted to remain. This technically means we're being dragged out against our will.

Since this has now happened, it is now more than likely that yet another referendum on Scottish Independence will occur within the coming years, and like the vote 2 years ago, I voted "Yes" in it as I believed Scotland could benefit from going solo, it may take several years; but I generally feel we could cope just fine. So when the next voting date is made on this issue (whenever that will be) I'll be voting "Yes" yet again like I did 2 years ago, and no, I'm not voting "Yes" just because I'm channeling my inner "William Wallace", I'm voting "Yes" just because I feel Scotland could benefit in the long run.
