Scotland to seek second independence referendum
Disclaimer: I&#x27;m English.<p>One can hardly blame them. I was a unionist during the first referendum simply because I thought we were stronger together and felt that the Scottish made the UK as a whole more liberal (which, to be clear, is a GOOD thing).<p>But after Brexit one cannot blame or criticise them for wanting to leave. I want to leave too! If their choice is being part of a fairly progressive EU or a conservative&#x2F;paranoid&#x2F;racist English-Welsh alliance then they&#x27;re better off leaving and trying to gain EU membership.<p>My only concern for Scotland is that they wouldn&#x27;t be able to gain (re-gain?) EU membership then would be left out on their own for many years. So I definitely think the Scottish leadership needs to better plan out EU entry relative to the last referendum.<p>With or without Scotland, England is a sinking ship, better that other countries don&#x27;t tie themselves to her mask as she flounders.
