It is really intellectually a daft nonsense that thos yapping about Scots independence and be in the EU instead just continually (and it shows here with cahpsuth3) that Scotland as has been stated has it's economy attached to the UK of around 75% but ignored. likewise that Scotland run by the modern Jacobites has the highest taxes in Britain. Even in the Nat camp there were a lot of their lot who voted "Naw."

Fun times ahead. I’m assuming there will be an abundance of Brexit related halloween costumes this year. Trick... or treat? (Maybe I should update my poll question )

Given that the results on your poll here do not match the broader national opinion, I think your poll ranks among the most remarkable in the history of polls. Since the outset, and as the number of voters has increased, the percentages have remained steadfastly the same at 2:1. 65.5% to 34.5%.
I'm surprised you haven't commented on this. More than once, I have wondered if there's a secret unseen hand tipping the scales.......Oops! scratch that.....

I love the British parliament, so small compare to other countries. Boris is very dramatic when he talks...
Hard brexit incoming, I don't see how something could change that fast.

I can't wait !

More comedy gold courtesy of the EU this week.

The EU has now replaced the old guard of Juncker and co with an even more inept, corrupt and unaccountable and enelected officials.

Still at least it was amusing to watch Andrew Neill destroy the new corrupt and incompetent EU leaders in an interview with an EU official on the BBC last week and Farage was also in fine form in the EU Parliament.

Well, I do enjoy throwing out yes or no polls questions. Plus, being a yank, I’m not exactly sure what the best Brexit related poll question was. I suppose do you support Brexit might have sufficed. Although where’s the fun in that? Anyways, I do think it’s a relevant question regarding the UK’s long term future. I wouldn’t have thought it was that likely before the Brexit vote. But fear and anger make for an interesting electorate.
We had our own electoral issues in 2016. At least your vote isn’t trying to run the world via tweet storm. Well, maybe Boris will help you guys out with that. Cheers.

I'm nearly a yank myself, will soon have spent more than half my life in the US.......

No matter how enthusiastic Boris and Donny may be for a trade deal, Donny needs Congress to sign off on it. Last week Nancy Pelosi said that if Brexit negatively affects the GFA, no UK/US trade deal will pass Congress on her watch.

Yeah, but Nancy is about as consistent as the weather. She can maybe block in theory (she's not Queen) if there's insufficient pressure from both sides of the house, but if there's a positive impact for one of her businesses, then the statement will be walked back. Remember she was all fine and dandy with waterboarding in 2002, but distinctly not in 2007, and claiming CIA deception in 2009 (deceiving the House Intelligence committee...?) yet she still supports PRISM.

It's not just Nancy Pelosi, but a bipartisan committee set up in the United States to protect the Belfast Agreement.
Trade Deals require the approval of Congress.
