The problem with that, is what would happen next?

Would London be happy "subsiding" Cornwall?

Once you have a split, the split doesn't stop until you have a complete fracturing.

That hasn't happened in other new countries in Europe, as far as I know, that they've actually sub-divided.

And is there a real appetite for England on its own? I ask this genuinely.

I'm not sure how England on its own would cope without the rest of its empire. I suspect it would feel castrated and without purpose and power. It's a perception thing- Ireland has craic, Scotland has scenery and whisky, Wales has rugby and passion (and rain...), England has....Morris dancing. Point made

England should go it alone and London should be a special economic zone.Corwall should have devolved power same for any region of England.Devolution and separation will give greater autonomy and accountability.

The Channel isles and isles of Man Status does confuse me tho ?

An Act of parilament is NOT law people know your rights

Did you ever give them consent ?

You all stand under "Common law" as known as the law of the land

If you commit a crime under ( loss , harm or damage) they you are breaking the law

But tell me where you gave consent on an act of parilament ?

Putting a stupid ignorant person in government isn't a good solution

A failed business person would not bode well, when they have used unscrupulous means to defraud suppliers, taxes etc

There doesn't need to be a break, even with local government autonomy, it's all about how intelligence is used, for democratic leadership. Hence not electing someone stupid and immoral.

My view is for what it is worth that as a small island we should remain as one,it has worked well for a long time.Also with brexit happening it is better for us to stay together.Scotland and Wales could not stand alone as they need our help now and they cannot just go back into the EU even if they want to.

N Ireland is different as it is part of Ireland as an island and this is so complex I will not even try to answer this and not sure it can be solved sadly.at least not now

That's just a word "indepedance" ... what would this word "independance" give you that you don't already have ?

To want something then that something has to be tangible , a word isn't tangible.

Or do you see the UK Government as being an "occupying force" of a Government, suppressing what a English Government would do that would make your life better ?

They probably would if your comparison was actually a propper comparison

England & Scotland joined together for a reason disolving both Parliments and creating a new combined Parliment.


"James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625. The kingdoms of Scotland and England were individual sovereign states, with their own parliaments, judiciaries, and laws, though both were ruled by James in personal union.

"

So, if anything, the English we're taken over by a Scott lol

"Scotland most definately should be an independent country, you could bet your last penny if the myth were true about being subsidised we would have been cast adrift long ago, only country in the world to have oil on its doorstep and end up poorer as a result, brilliant mismanagement that has been from westmonster,bring on the breakup of the uk which was only started as a land grab by the richest in the land at the time anyway

Scotland is not the only country in the world to have oil on its doorstep and end up poorer as a result. Iraq, Libya, Venezuela are in a worse state than Scotland.

Stop pretending you're worse off than you actually are!

Maybe because two out of three of those countries have been bombed to fukkery because theyve got oil, is it a reason not to be independent in case the yanks get war happy and send in their wee westmonster lapdog to do their dirty work?

Do you still maintain Scotland is the only country in the world to have oil on its doorstep and end up poorer as a result?

Yes as due to government mismanagement, not outside forces such as war or totally corrupt regimes

Always the victim...

"Scotland will go bust within 5 years, the EU will not let Scotland join the European Union.

We might have to get Trump to build us a wall using Scottish money while we sit back and reap the fruits of Scottish indy

"

Why would the EU not let Scotland join? There are economies of an equivalent (and smaller) size already in the EU.

It would be a significant coup for the Scots to become/remain in the EU whilst their idiotic neighbours to the south, fight amongst each other and snarl and lash out at others in ever increasing desperation as their influence in the world dissipates with each passing day.

"Dont need to, scotland puts more into the uk than it ever gets back "

Sometimes it has, sometimes it has not.

Last data I can find from Full Fact states currently as of end 2016 Scotland gets more back than it puts in since 2012 to 2016

The obvious answer is Scotland doesn't meet the entry criteria.

Not meeting the entry criteria is no reason not to let Scotland join the EU.

In 2001, they let Greece join the Euro after it fudged the budget deficit figures to be much lower than it really was.

In 2003, France and Germany had both overspent, and their budget deficits had exceeded the 3% of GDP limit to which they were legally bound. Were they fined? No! EU finance ministers voted to let France and Germany off.

As has been said many times before on here you really think Spain are going to let an Independent Scotland join the EU and give the green light to Catelonia? Think again there is no way Spain wants an independent Scotland joining the EU.

I think the EU would welcome an independent Scotland into the EU just to annoy rUK.

The Council of Elrond

If Scotland have a binding referendum abd vote yes to independence that is the democratic wishes if the Scottish sovereign people

Spain would be mental to try and veto an independent country that democratic voted for independence

What you saying is you think Spain will punish Scotland for supporting Catalonia that would be sick and very sad that trying to punish a country thst democratically voted for independence

Anyway we all know Spains true veto is Gibalter lol not Scotland nice try lol

No, you don't understand the nation state, it doesn't care if one part is poorer, it only care about territorial integrity. Do you think Alaska brings in as much money as New York state? No, it's the biggest recipient of federal aid in the whole of the US.

Would an independent Scotland get rid of the islands because they have to be subsidised by the mainland?

Oil? Don't make me laugh, it's so heavily subsidised that it was a net DRAIN on the treasury last year, it COST the tax payers money to have a oil "industry". I'm more than happy for that money to come out of Scottish Parliament budgets, rather than the UK treasury.

How about ”Mercia for the Mercian’s”, or “Now is the time for Northumbria”!? Or the “Kingdom of the Isles returns to Norway”.

Does any of it make sense, or is it just a minority adjitating for something the vast majority don’t want?

The UK as an entity makes sense, breaking it up does not. At least in my opinion - notice no attempt to claim any facts, just expressing an opinion, informed by a little history.

If we all went independent the one thing we should keep is our military, although would be loads of problems with that, but has to be kept, look what snp wanted to do if we had went with independence, one of big reasons I voted no

Better together on a whole I think not done too badly so far

In theory, I’m pro-independence. However, I’d like to see more parties in charge before I’m convinced it would work in practice.

The SNP are a great party in opposition (see Westminster since the last GE) but a terrible party in power. I have voted SNP (amongst other things) in the past, but would be unlikely to vote for them in an independent Scotland.

I understand why people don’t like the party, although most of the complaints would be better levelled at some of the supporters than the MPs and MSPs themselves.

(As an aside, if you don’t understand why some people want Scotland out of the UK but in the EU, I don’t think you understand the difference between those two unions.)

Firstly, Northern Ireland would get annoyed, they want to stay British.

Fair play to them.

There will never be an independent England.

I am sure Wales has a thought about that.

Scotland, decided to stay with us.

A United Kingdom we stay.

Scotland understand and recognise the importance of the Union.

Regardless of who is in power in Scotland.

That also will never happen, far to many gutless in Scotland, the only country in the World to run away from the chance of Independence
