Do you want Scotland to be a part of The United Kingdom?

[Brovion]

Don't care one way or the other. Ditto Northern Ireland (although if Scotland goes I don't want to be left with them in some dreadful rump UK).

I do think they ought to see wait and see what sort of Brexit deal we get before deciding what to do; currently there are too many unknowns. When we know what Brexit means to the UK then they can decide if they want to be a part of it or not.

It's not whether I want Scotland to be a part of the UK or not. It's up to them. But if I were them I'd cut loose.

Why shouldn't we get a say on whether England wants independence?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

But, I can fully understand why they are fed up being ruled by a party 400 miles away which they have historically rarely ever supported

Sounds like a great anti-Brussels rant...

It's a valid point. With regard to the UK no one ever, even informally, asks the English what we want. The assumption is we've all got the mindset of Plantagenet kings and want to keep hold of as much territory as we can. Logically IF the UK is to break up it makes sense for us to leave and the Celtic nations to stay together.

I prefer outward looking and cooperation so yes. But, I can fully understand why they are fed up being ruled by a party 400 miles away which they have historically rarely ever supported and are now being dragged out of the EU by the very same people against their will.

My message to the Scots, and my fellow Brits, is come and join us over here.

Apart from the fact that Labour have generally held sway up there... meaning they did support every Labour government....

.... and the irony of you espousing the view of not being governed by someone 400 miles away, ... well.... that's just a lovely juicy piece of HT contradiction... straight from the Fatherland's finest.

I know it's poor form to answer a question with a question, but I think this is relevant:-

Have we taken all their oil yet?

You seem to have missed off the "rarely supported" bit off my post. This provides important context.

dont forget the indepentant state of Cuckfield

 

[Whoislloydy]

Yes, but only so I can see the SNP destroy Theresa May in parliament

 

[Dorset Seagull]

If the United Kingdom splits up we can kiss goodbye to our decent medal haul in the Olympics

Have we got a viable alternative plan for Faslane that we could afford and implement? If we could answer 'yes' to your question and mine, then I'd be much more ambivalent to voting to leave The EU and breaking up as a country.

If I had my way there should be just one parliament in the UK, in London.

We vote for our MP's, just let them govern

All referendums should be outlawed, look at the complete mess we are in now

The break up the UK would be our final humiliation

 

[Braggfan]

I think they should go, but not cause I'm bitter with them, I'm jealous of them. If they have the opportunity to kiss good bye to this tory cesspit good luck to them.

 

[MrSnuggles]

Dig a trench, set them adrift and let them float up to Iceland!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Up to them but if I lived in Scotland I would be voting to quit being ruled over by the Tories ASAP.

 

[Titanic]

My instinct is for government and taxation to be done as close to the people as possible, and I feel no more affinity with Scotland than I do with Ireland. So, on balance, if they chose to go it alone, good luck to them.

I rather suspect we will manage quite happily without them.

 

[Bold Seagull]

If you want to accept that we have failed, failed to govern our country fairly and equitably, failed to democratically ensure empowerment to all, failed to keep our country together and united, then yes, I guess you wouldn't be unhappy if they left.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I want Scotland to remain in the UK. I would like the UK to stick together, but sadly I can see the union being driven apart by this quite staggeringly useless government.

I think independence would be a huge mistake for Scotland, but I can fully understand their frustration and anger with Westminster at this time.

I still think the Scots would vote to remain in the UK, but if they did leave I would not blame them.

 

[Stat Brother]

Assuming Barbados is a bit of a reach, can we swap Scotchland for France?

 

[Insel affe]

Its already there, although not very tall IIRC

neither are they
