WIKILEAKS has stunned Twitter users by sharing a bizarre poll about what would happen in an independent Scotland post-Brexit.
The post gives a hypothetical scenario and asks users of the social media site to choose one of four answers.
It reads: “POLL: Post Brexit, EU states have incentive to back Scottish independence so Scotland can rejoin the EU. All UK nukes are in Scotland. If Scotland joins EU, will the new EU Army eventually station troops in Scotland to check the threat of English invasion?”
It then provides four options: No, possibly, probably and definitely.
At the time of writing, No was in the lead with 38%, followed by Definitely on 24%, Possibly on 20% and Probably on 18%. Those results were based on more than 4,500 votes.
“Are you serious with that question?” asked Twitter a user by the name of Lord Pelagius, summing up the sentiments of many towards the poll.
Are...are you serious with that question

Other users speculated whether or not the WikiLeaks Twitter account had been hacked again.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
