I think the chance of Scotland becoming independent will be an idea that will be left to brew for fifty years maybe until we deal with our major social problems obesity drugs and poor unemployment we would also partake in the idea of England invading with their larger army to steal our oil
We would get full control over our own laws.And we would have a stronger ecconomy as we have oil,gas,coal,whisky etc.
No. All the major political parties except for the SNP are against an independent Scotland.
When Scotland was an independent country, it had its own King who had his own crown.
Scotland was independent most of the time up to 1707 when it joined in union with England.
Before becoming James I of Great Britain, he was James VI of Scotland.
Britain has been independent, politically, for over 300 years. It is not becoming more so
This would depend on the devolution agreement reached with the London Parliament, should one go ahead. It is very doubtful that, given a supporting Scottish referendum on the matter, the English MPs would deny Scotland some fiscal support to begin with.
No, Scotland along with England, Wales and Northen Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and France is an independent country on mainland Europe.
There is a referendum being held today - 18 September - within Scotland asking voters in Scotland if they want to leave the United Kingdom and become an independent country. Passions have been high and polls suggest that the vote will be close. It's a bit like Californians or Texans being asked to vote on leaving the US and becoming independent countries again. They could probably survive economically but would the US be better off with them in the Union or outside it?
There will be a referendum in September 2014 to decide on this issue.
