SNP just try to whip up more hatred against the english
It is all rather unseemly is it not. The nastier side of nationalism. We all know how that ends up. |

If Scotland leaves the UK then the UK ceases to exist. You can't have a "United" Kingdom with only one kingdom in it. Ireland is now mostly a republic and the half a dozen counties that aren't in the Republic don't even constitute the full province of Ulster. Wales is a principality, not a kingdom.
All of which leaves England struggling to find a name for the new country of which it becomes a majority shareholder. |

It was originally the United Kindom of Great Britain then the United Kindom of Great Britain and Ireland. Since 1922 it's been the United Kingom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
What's next? The United Kingdom of a Bit of Great Britain and a Bit of Ireland? (BTW, I don't think that "Bit of Ireland" will be in the box in six years' time.) |

England had been taken over by the Welsh Tudors and both countries were usually called England. Elizabeth of England also claimed to be Queen of Ireland and France.
Scotland was ruled by Mary Queen of Scots until she was murdered by her cousin, Elizabeth. Mary's son, James, now became King of Scots. When his Auntie Lizzie (Queen of England, Ireland, France, etc) fell off her barstool, James, King of Scots, also became King of England and the other stuff. That was known as the Union of The Crowns. Everybody (except Wales) had their own parliament. The French thought it was all a joke. |

When we had the Brexit vote, non-British members of the EU (apart from the Irish living in Britain) were not allowed to vote. British expatriates were also allowed to vote. That was deemed fair.
However, in the Scottish referendum, non-Scottish residents of Scotland were allowed to vote but Scottish expatriates were not allowed to vote. Somehow that was also deemed fair. Without the votes of non-Scots who happened to live in Scotland at the time, there seems no doubt that the UK would have been dismantled. Interesting. |

Where is the economic case for independence?
With a £15B black hole in our finances how do we fill it? We have to increase taxation by 18% or decrease spending by 15% or a mixture of both. Currently our deficit is about 10% of our GDP which is the worst in the developed world. |
|
By:
Very selective. And what about with the votes of all the non-Scots living outside Scotland at the time?
|
|
By:
^^^^^^^ Thats right....
A vote by Theresa May's terms only could squeak it for the 'no' vote. |

No doubt that wee nicky will get the 'fracking' diggers in action to counteract the depleted oil revenues A definitive decision is constantly being delayed. You don't have to think too hard to realise why? Wee Nicki has the Greens like puppets on a string just now but that would change if she gave the okay to fracking. So because of that no decision will be made until after indyref2 if that happens. |

The reason Scottish people living outside England were not given the vote might be because they are liable to vote for Scottish independence and continue living in England.
Now if they were allowed to vote, and they had to consider the consequences if that vote being no longer having the right to live and work in England that would be a different thing and yes they could be allowed to vote |

It's a bit much to vote for independence and think you can retain the rights of British citizens

It gets more interesting. Demographic forecasts for Northern Ireland suggest that in 2020 there will be a majority of voters there who are native to the six counties and who would vote for a united Ireland if given the opportunity. The hundredth anniversary of the partition of Ireland will be in 2021. A referendum about that time is almost a certainty.
Scotland is likely to seize the chance to demand an other referendum at the same time and under the rules that were used for the Britex vote. In five years, England, Wales, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar will be independent. |

ah, i don`t think the rep. of Ireland is independent yet.

I live in Wales and I don't think the Welsh are stupid enough to vote for independence. My meaning must have been unclear. I meant to suggest that a new country that did not contain any part of Scotland or Ireland would have to be formed from the remainder of the UK. I don't see Wales ploughing a lone furrow. |
|
By:
it can`t be done, its impossible for the countries on these islands to be independent. they never have been at any time in history.

By:
we could try an experiment, lets say with the rep of Ireland first.
maybe it might want to try independence, lets see. |
