so SNP claiming the mandate in Scotland and Plaid Cymry in Wales coupled to the weakest willed PM in history what are the chances now of Wales and Scotland becoming fully independant ?


I think they are strong and if there was a referendum today I think the vote would be for independance based on how bad our governments have been over the last 10 years although I don't rate those of the Scottish and welsh parliaments much better.

Chances are probably higher than they were and for all the wrong reasons - resentment, boredom, frustration, etc.

As I recall, everything was going to be improved by Brexit. And yet here we are.

I voted remain because I knew the "promised" benefits wouldn't materialise and as you say here we are

38.2% of Scots voted for the SNP. That doesn't make a mandate.

35.4% of the Welsh voted for Plaid Cymry. That also doesn't a mandate.
