How - by depending on tourism, Scotch, and alcohol taxes?

Joint services, like UN/NATO forces.

Andy Stewart and Kenneth McKellar in the Eurovision Song Contest

What about us?

They're equivalent to the choochters, so don't count......:D

They can keep their holiday home

We'll still have relations with your women....;)

No, since, imho, it isn't going to happen.

Another Scot here that will be voting ''' NO '''

i am proud to be born and bred in Glasgow and i am also proud to be British and be part of the united kingdon ..

nearly every Scot i know feels the same way and will be voting in the same way as myself.

There is no way that this vote is going to go in the direction of a split,,it will be the usual 25-35% that vote for the yes vote..mainly the catholics and the socialists..

God save the queen :D:D:D:D

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

What about the Scots-Irish community (who are catholic) will they want Catholic Church to be given equal staus as the Church of Scotland, could they even want to breakaway or join Ireland?

Will Scotland be part of NATO?

Also Will Scotland become a republic?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Well there are no answers to these because it simply will not happen.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Once they realise that Westminster will no longer fund them it will die a quiet death, I believe that Salmond thinks he can have it both ways.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Why should they - they don't at the moment.

RC's are around 9% of the English population, and around 16% of the Scots - not exactly anywhere near a majority in either country

btw, there are quite a few Scots-Irish Prods as well.

a) it couldn't afford to
b) Why should it?

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Ultimatly I think that Scotland should be given more powers, but Independence, I am not so sure!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I'm waiting for the Welsh to want independance, but as the were conqured but the English they can only be given there freedom.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I for one think its a bad idea and just wish Salmond would kindly go away.

Such a stupid idea and it would not work. Besides 99% of the Scottish population wouldn't want indepenance anyway.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

This something over indulgent politicians like to raise as an issue it isn't something i think the vast majority of scots either think about or care about and certainly have no intention of changing. Salmond i don't know even by political standards which for me are as low as can be right now just seems slimy and unpleasant he is a one view person who sits hoping for events to turn the world to his personal wants.

I think there is as much chance of scotland voting for independence as there is of a cure for my illness being announced in the next week it simply isn't going to happen no matter how much some up there might want it. But if major IF they did vote yes then fine split whats already there and then not a single penny more going north of the border that happens you'll have another vote within two years for rejoining the union.

To be fair I'd rather be in a religious minority amongst 60 million on the whole relatively decent folk than 5 million with plenty of sectarian tendencies among them.

My own view is that the SNP would be better campaigning for independence down here, polls have proven the English as a majority would vote for independence now given the opportunity but as ever in this great democracy we aren't given a say and that just how wee Alec likes it, bleat on knowing full well he'll never have to follow through and take responsibility for full blown independence.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

If Scotland became independant of the UK then others would follow and eventually England would all alone and effecly independent from the (now defunt) UK![COLOR="Silver"]

If Scotland becomes independant, they I would presuame a new natioal carrier for Scotland would be formed, this is what their Livery would look like!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

Cheers for that, it's like debating with a child, for the hard of thinking I was attempting to say England would cut them loose now and be the first to gain independence not the last.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

I know what you mean, but I was telling you another way for England to become Independent!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
 

That isn't another way though as the others don't want independence, even Scotland if the SNP were honest.
