no because the isle of wight is english, scotland and wales arnt english, and we have a national identity so it was bloody stupid and bigotted of you to even class scotland and wales on the same level as a small island which is apart of england of which the inhabitants are english. why cant you understand why they are thinking about it? what cant the population of a country consider governing themselves now?

Scotland should be independant because there 1 of the poorest oil producing countries in the world the number of people in poverty could be compared to mexico England is worth £1.9 Trillion and Scotland is worth a mere £172 Billion because most of the wealth is taken by the English. During the British Empire the Scots were sent and the forefront of defensive along with the welsh, just look at the film zulu, and in braveheart when the english send the irish to fight to save english blood. Another reason is that Great Britain was formed to counter the massive french and spanish empires, which worked now that empire is over the need for a united kingdom is redunent.

however maybe scotland shouldnt be independant, because she would lose her role in world affairs how would the british army be broken up, would the remaining parts of the UK take the military completly? this would leave scotland defensless. Scotland is a small country what system would work in creating a stable economy a scandenavian system? or a tax haven for buisness? Its alot to jump into.

maybe the UK should first be federated so that the government of scotland can be 100% garuenteed and cannot be revoked by westminister. allowing the government to take slow steps in controlling its economy and be allocated certain amounts of military control. If this is 100% Sucessful and the people of scotland still want to be a nation then sure noone should say no, but jumping in the deep end sure it could work but we wouldnt be giving ourselfs the best possible chance not only is there the defensive and economic issue but then theres the buecracy of who gets what embassies if any will we still be in the EU do we get rid of the queen if yes what form of government do we adopt?

and if anyone says we chould preserve the UK, its already breaking up Ireland left the UK, just because the republic of ireland isnt on the same island as Great Britain,it didnt make it anyless part of the UK before 1922, so why not whats wrong with the idea of a divided kingdom?

if anybody supports a free scotland search some stuff on youtube its quite insightful, or look for some articles on google aswell and hear some other peoples views, even some english who actually do understand and dont just dismiss independence as some ridiculous idea. So yeah if scotland wants independence it should but it should weigh up pros and cons and if she should take a slow transition to full blown independence maybe from federation to confederation, its a sensitive issue, but ulitmatly if they want it they should take it.
