I favor it. Scotland is much more leftist than England and separation would give rise to a more conservative remainder

Scotland wants freedom from England, so it can become an inconsequential member of the completely undemocratic and bureaucratic borg in Brussels.

It’ll also give the EU a beachhead on the island of Britain.

Not that England is all that much conservative these days.

More than a few Englishmen would be perfectly happy to see Scotland go. England is a net donor and Scotland a net recipient.

Also totally unfairly, Scottish members of parliament get to vote on matters that effect only England but English members of parliament do not get to vote on matters that effect only Scotland. I can see how this would piss English people off. I would be if I were in their shoes.

I disagree. The Scots hate the English and would rather starve than make nice.
