You get a vote if you are resident in Scotland on the day of the election. It doesnt matter if you have been resident for twenty years or two hours, you get a vote.

Scottish people living in England (mostly Unionists obviously) do not get a vote. English and Welsh people get no say either, even though the breakup of the Union will have seismic cultural, economic and especially political consequences.

Interesting.

Sounds like a remake of the Kansas/Nebraska Act.

How do they determine residency?

....and of course the corollary of this is that the many tens of thousands of English people resident in Scotland also get the vote!
