The fallout from the Conservative Party's massive win in the British elections continues. It's washed ashore in America, as the far left is fearful that the results do not bode well for the eventual Democratic candidate against Donald Trump.
But of more immediate concern to the British is what is happening in Scotland as a result of the election. The separatist Scottish National Party destroyed the Conservatives as the Tories now hold only one seat. This has emboldened the SNP to prepare to call for a second referendum on independence.
The first referendum in 2014 was fairly close with those voting against independence winning 55-45. But the Scots are strong supporters of the EU, voting 62-38 to Remain. And with Brexit now assured by Johnson's election and the SNP in such a strong position politically, it's an open question whether Boris Johnson will be the last prime minister of a truly "United" Kingdom.

The SNP supporters should just move to Venezuela for their utopia.
SOCIALISTS are bad losers.
the UK would be FAR better off without having to carry the socialist state of Scotland on their backs ...
most of Scotland on the dole and heavily dependent on England for their economic welfare...
something similar is happening also in northern Ireland.
Scotland wants to surrender to Merkel
I think Scotland has quite forgotten what it means to be Scot.
Where is William Wallace?
Let them go
Get inta me belly!
Bye.
Independence = no more welfare bucks.
Braveheart they ain’t anymore.
They will stay.
Yep.
Why is it a “concern”? If the majority of people in Scotland want to secede from the UK, let them. That’s what freedom and democracy are all about. Plus they will then be a drag on other countries in the EU, England will no longer need to carry them.
I wasn’t aware of those internal dynamics in the UK.
Could we see the UK dissolve, as did the Soviet Union?
Why do these fools want to be subjects of the EU? Brexit already and be Scotland/UK again
Freeeeedoooom!!!!!
“Where is William Wallace”?
Wallace would probably want to leave.
No need. Let them leave the UK and stay in the EU, and Boris Johnson consolidates Tory rule even further. Are the Scottish currently contributing anything other than a stereotype for overbearing schoolmarms in music videos and cartoons?
