From my American opinion, I hope that Scotland does become independent for these three reasons: #1) I SUPPORT self determination, secession (heck our own US Declaration of Independence was based on these principles) so they should get to live under the government they want. #2)It would FORCE socialists to grow up when they CAN’T rely upon the charity of the whole of the UK. And #3) If Scotland becomes independent, since a large portion of Labour’s support is from Scotland, it will leave the rest of the UK (England, Wales, Northern Ire, and the minor territories) MUCH more conservative.
“#1) I SUPPORT self determination, secession (heck our own US Declaration of Independence was based on these principles)”
You didn’t get the memo from Lincoln announcing that that policy is no longer operative?
