Do you support a separate Scottish Republic?

I don't think the Queen wants to loose Scotland, she wants to run that island.

Source? Everyone I've talked to about it that's around my age plans to vote. They'd be fools not to.

my observation. scottish students are a load of left wing whiny pussies pretending they are communist when they dont know shit about it. most of them would be too high to vote or in gutter somewhere passed out smelling like brewery.

They should stay a part of Great Britain IMO.

I support Scottish independence or at least the restoration of the pre-1707 situation (so the Union of the Crowns could be kept intact for the time being) so Scotland can prepare itself in all peace and quiet for full-blown independence. I am sure that England would also benefit from it as Scotland and England would no longer keep each other hostage and the English can then establish their own parliament as well.

[Germanicus]

Well, that's a refreshing change of pace. Usually the English who post in these sort of threads about Scotland are hostile toward the idea.

Yes indeed i welcome Scottish home rule, as an Englishman i pay very high taxes to keep Scotland in comfort, it's about time the average Scot has a taste of reality like i do every week when i open my wage slip and pay my council tax and other utility bills.

The Empire ought to have granted dominion status to Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland... moved their empres and court to India and turned the Indian cean into a inner sea.
An unbroken rail from capetown to singapore.. and a whole private ocean for the royal navy. And no doubt a highly fortified suez connecting with the rest of the world.

The empire would have endured, the elite gotten their taste fille with exoticisms and the dominions stayed unpolluted.
Im pretty sure usa and soviets would both have ended up as second-rates behind the empire too, with developed industries, infrastructure, resources, more coastline than anyone, a population exeeding 2 billion today and no shortage of cultural peculiarities.

Come and work over here in England, and find out how much Scotland is subsidised in benefits by the English, it would break your heart and spirit like it already done to mine.:mad

What are the differences genetically between the English and Scottish? If any at all.

You don't think the British goverment will freely give you access to the Oil revenue do you?
