I'm not going to speak for Mrs Ivan on this matter, but I have mixed feelings. We have come a long way together with Scotland and part of me would be sad to see them go. On the other hand, the edifice of left would be destroyed by Scottish independence.

I suspect an independent England would be a much more right wing country, free of Scottish influence. That may be a price worth paying.

Regards, Ivan

How would the royal family pan out in this? Would QEII be Queen of England and Wales, and Queen of Scotland in such a scenario? In the same way she is simultaneously Queen of Canada, Australia, etc? Or would Scotland more likely become a Republic?
