    Yes, I see what you're getting at now.

    But it won't happen, because I'm pretty sure Scotland won't vote for it.
    We are all British ethnically, not English, Scottish or Welsh (those are only cultures). People who think the English, Welsh or Scottish are genetically different or somehow of different ethnic goups are spreading misinformation, we all descend from the same ancestral stock.

    England doesn't need to be independant, all it needs is its own parliament like Scotland has of its own. You don't need to break up the union for that.

    To an extent, yes. There are some differences based on different invaders, but generally we are much the same.
    But we are different ethnic groups, ethnicity is not about genetics alone.

    I know, a decent federal structure would achieve it too but I doubt it will ever happen.
    Scotland, Wales and NI probably won't leave the UK, so what we need is for real federalism to be pushed for if (once) the independence vote fails.
    The SNP will likely lead this anyway.

    Genetics =/= ethnicity.
