Maybe the Rothschild’s ARE responsible for wars after all ... !?!!
If it doesnt work in Scotland’s favor this time, does anyone know how soon this can be placed back on the ballot?
I hate it when someone says that some political unit would be the "13th largest" or "27th largest" country if independent - without defining what they mean by "large."
In the case at hand, I suspect that he means "largest economy," not "largest population."
With regards to population, I believe that Texas would be about 45th or 46th (similar to Ghana or Nepal).
With regards to geographical extent, I believe that it would be about 39th or 40th (similiar in geographical extent to Sambia or Burma).

The Queen just issued this press release about Scottish independence:
“The trouble with Scotland... is that it’s full of Scots! Perhaps the time has come to reinstitute an old custom. Grant them prima noctes. First night, when any common girl inhabiting their lands is married, our nobles shall have sexual rights to her on the night of her wedding. If we can’t get them out, we breed them out.”
All eyes will be on Scotland this week.

It’s only a referendum vote. Regardless of the voting results, Scotland will still be in the UK.
Think of it like if the US had a referendum on the 2014 ballot to remove Obama and his administration. The majority vote of “YES” wouldn’t change anything until he’s gone in 2017.
A Texas vote is a mighty fine idea!
My Scott ancestors have been fighting for centuries for independence from England’s forced rule. Always out numbered and over armed. You really have to know how oppressive Brit rule was on the Scots and Irish, they were less than human. The Brits raped, pillaged, and burned their way across Wales, Ireland and Scotland. And what the Brits did not destroy the Clearances finished, when the new English lords holding the property and those few Scot lords who curry England’s favor, removed the tenants who produced little, in favor of SHEEP.
From before William Wallace to King Robert Bruce. Scotland has fought for its freedom from England’s oppression.
This got all tied up in the succession to the throne since James 1 who was Elizabeth 1 heir.
Time it happened. Would we as Americans except Brit rule again?
First it was the Romans, then the Brits. http://www.scotland.org/about-scotland/scottish-history/
There would be true irony if Texas were to succeed from the United States only to later hold a referendum to merge with Mexico. Succession would permanently shift the political spectrum in the rest of the U.S. toward socialism and not be a good neighbor to an independent Texas. Short of some kind of forced ethnic cleansing, the demography already within Texas today would eventually bring it back to Mexico. Texans need to carefully consider the long term consequences of this decision.
