Scotland's vote


General Discussions ( Anything Goes )

If Scotland want to secede from the Unionthere probably won't be a war about it. But the vote will at least inform everyone of the feelings of Scots - but why can't we have a separate "rest of UK" vote to establish their opinions on the matter (and not just an opinion poll -notoriously inaccurate that they are)

But Wales was legally part of England, not just part of the Union, for many centuries. Personally, I don't think Wales should leave the UK even though many English would happily say "Goodbye".

My feelings are also that Scotland should not do so either, and that neither the English/Welsh/Irish peoplenor the Scottish people really want this. The majority opinion will hold sway even though the majority are drasticallyuninformed.

And we must remember - it will NOT be independence, just partial independence; defence and currency/finance will still be under aUK umbrella; Scotland would still be part of the EU (they would not be allowed to pull out).
