If you are part of a "Union" that is transparent, inclusive and works for all, I'd say "Stay and participate fully".

The SNP wants full independence, but what has Scotland got? 2 main cities, a finite supply of oil and some whisky exports.

Now Plaid Cymru wants full independence, but what has Wales got? 1 main city, defunct coal and steel industries, plus some sheep.

But England is a different story, for the moment.

There are already "parliaments" for Scotland and Wales, with limited powers for national issues. So an English "parliament" with the same powers seems logical and fair.

But all I see is a monster growing: bureaucrats begetting more bureaucracy and more bureaucrats. And that costs money, money the "Union" needs for other things.
