Yes, I know, though the real result was 38-48 if we don't exclude the undecided: https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/9f359xvq6w/TheTimes_191206_Scotland_Results_IndependenceW.pdf

Also, it's a complete outliner right now, most polls are getting close to break even now:

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/politics/scottish-politics/1039926/exclusive-courier-poll-showing-rise-in-support-for-independence-gives-election-day-boost-to-snp/ 1% difference

https://www.drg.global/wp-content/uploads/W1781w24-Tables-for-publication-061219.pdf 6% difference, outside of the one you posted the one with the biggest win for stay in the UK in the last 2 months

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_on_Scottish_independence a little overview

And that's all before the general election. With the conservatives gaining the absolute majority and can now Brexit for sure, I'm very sure the independence movement will gain even more traction.

'Do you think Scotland should be independent? isn't the same as 'How will you vote in a referendum?'. Everybody learned this lesson in the first indy ref.
The last poll that asked people how they actually intend to vote had 'Remain' with a 17pt lead.
Given your past flawed analysis of UK politics, I'd happily bet you that Scotland will remain in the UK after the next referendum (it'll be in the next parliament if the SNP keep their current support).
"The Tories rose to high 30's after Johnson got elected but are coming crashing down since he humiliated himself in Luxembourg, his failed Prorogation, not being able to win any votes in Parliament..."
"And a new election will just make it worse and solve nothing, as both the big parties loose a lot while the smaller ones win quite a bit, making the balance of powers even more even than they were before."

Honestly, i'm tired of arguing with echo-chamber folk. I don't get why the losing side would rather invent nonsense and play it back to each other instead of engaging with the other side and working out how to improve/compromise/win.

To win an election/referendum, you have to win votes from the opposing team. Playing to your own crowd doesn't work.

Trump is gonna win the next election. Boris will win the next election too and the Left will continue to freak out and act surprised when they lose.

I'm starting to think the Koch Brothers or whoever the rightwing bad guys are these days are secretly funding the Left knowing that any airtime they get results in votes for the opposing team.

WTF??? I backed up everything I said here, linked proofs for everything. The problem is more that you dismissed everything, as if you were saying "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" about anything that proves the wrongs from Trump, the leave campaign, etc...

I do expect Boris to win the next election, too, unless he fucks up royally or Labour reinvents itself. Trump, on the other hand, is far from safe.

He did this well... and its okay to go out like this imo.
However often he was a right prick.

"I know you ll miss us"  (which was actually said by alot from the EU side of things, they would miss the UK)

However the truth of the matter is, like Nigel admitted, they never saw themselves as citizens of the EU, or apart of the collective.
The result was often the UK would be like a little kid or trouble maker in class.

Honestly I think alot are just as happy their gone.
Its hard to work with someone thats almost actively trying to trip you, everytime you want to get something done.

It's finally happening in about 30 hours from now :)

Its already happend right? now they just have 11months, until the effects of leaveing show.
(they have a 11month grace periode, where rules remain the same as always, even after leaveing, so they can get their ducks in row)

Come 2021, we ll see if theres actually any impact economically ect from leaveing.
UK also got alot of funds from the EU for research + Study + Education... I doubt those will carry over.

Possibly for a while, as the EU budget is always votes for a period of several years, so these might still be included right now. But once those run out, I doubt that the EU will want to finance the UK any further, so the Brits will need to finance it themselves.

At midnight during the night of January 31st to February 1st. Pretty easy to remember and calculate.

Also, here's a countdown for you: https://interactive.news.sky.com/2017/brexit-countdown/

And the music that goes along with it:

enjoy

A sad day in the history of our European Union. Usually I'm not too much on countries and a feeling of belonging here or there but tonight I wish to make clear that in light of European history, 2000 years of endless wars, invasions, massacres, hatred, nationalism, division, in light of the motto of my country (United we are stronger) and in light of the lasting peace that the EU has brought to the old continent, I wish to make clear that tonight I am PROUD of being European. This is the only flag I care for and that has a little bit of meaning for me:

We're a net contributor.

Anything we 'got' from the EU we are now free to double spending on or spend it where we think it should be spent.
