    Will the UK actually go through with leaving the EU?

    The new PM Teresa May has made it clear she will be invoking Article 50 at the moment, primarily due to SNP demands and the Scottish remain vote. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-36819182 "Mrs May also said she would not trigger article 50 - the formal process of the UK...

    Scotland decisively rejects independence, English powers are to increase as a result.

    Despite all the "on-a-knife-edge" wishful thinking, Scotland has voted 55% to 45% to stay in the Union. David Cameron immediately announced that the promised additional powers for Scotland would involve a solution for the West Lothian question......in other words, Scottish MPs will have no say...

    (non-Scottish) britishers, how do you feel about the Scots and their indipendence

    There seems a recurring theme in threads relation to Scottish independence implying that the non-Scottish portions of the UK have a negative feeling towards the Scottish and thus towards their independence I thought it might be interesting to run a poll to gauge the spectrum of opinion. I...

    If You Were Scottish How Would You Vote?

    OK, there are lots of comments online from Scots as to whether they want to stay or leave the union, I'd like to hear from non-Scots. If you were Scottish would you vote to leave the union or stay in it? I think I'd vote yes for independence - due to the following reasons: 1) Whitehall barely...

    Merged Implications of Scottish independence / Should Scotland be an independent country?

    Continued from here. Actually...... If Rolfe cared to apply some objective thinking to this small issue, she would quickly be able to realise that the bus is covered in a high-tech vinyl wrap, of a sort that's only been technically viable for a few years but which is very high-impact (which...

    Implications of Scottish Independence

    Some things might survive the transition easier than others: we have separate education and legal systems. But what of the big questions:- Monarchy: do we tell Brenda to take a hike? Defence: do we retain common armed forces with England, Wales and Northern Ireland? If not how do we divvy up...

    Split Thread Scottish Independence

    Oh, Darat and I agreed to differ about this some time ago. He believes that a small country taken over by a larger loses its identity and can never reassert it. I don't. This isn't really subject to rational debate, because it's about feelings and beliefs, not reason. Rolfe. Split from...

    Referendum on Scottish Independence

    Due to be announced tomorrow, is anyone particularly excited by the SNP White Paper on independence? I don't think it's great timing. and would have been better brought in during the first year of an SNP administration given that it's pretty much their raison-d'être. We're in the middle of a...
