UK to leave EU

[I_am_not_mafia]

Unless Scotland splits from the UK and votes remain. Then you'll have to move south. Durham would be a nice compromise.

I have no intentions of moving anywhere because Scotland won't be going independent.

I seriously doubt that now.

Last time it was 45% Yes 55% No. Glasgow was overwhelmingly Yes, Edinburgh being a more cosmopolitan place was No.

I live and work in Edinburgh at an academic institute. Most people here are from the EU. Our boss was telling everyone to vote No because we rely on funding. Most people voted No and wanted us to be part of the UK.

Now most people are coming into work today knowing that their lives that they have built up here may be coming to an end because they can't rely on living here by being an EU national. The boss will know that the best way for us to get funding will be to be part of the EU. Today, EU nationals who want to continue living in Scotland will be best served voting for independence. All the businesses and international corporations in the central belt now have their last hope of staying in the EU with Scottish independence.

Westminster said whatever it took to get a No vote and became increasingly desperate when it looked like we'd get our independence. They then immediately went back on their word. It wasn't a case of more powers to Scotland, Cameron came out the very next day and started talking about English votes. Westminster then removed Scotland's powers to ban fracking. Westminster can't employ the same tactic again. Whatever desperate promises they make at the last moment, people can turn round and say that they said it before and broke their promises.

Scotland overwhelmingly voted to stay in the EU and is being dragged out despite that. The Yes vote has been rising since the IndyRef. The EU vote has tipped the balance.
