so are we for Scottish independence or against it?



if Britain no longer has Scotland is it no longer the U.K. or is it just Britain or England now?



And would England like to become part of the United States? I mean wouldn't England have more in common with the United states than associating with Europe etc?


I think a broad consensus would be (i) yep, great idea in theory, all for freedom and independence etc, but (ii) not under the current "leadership".



The UK would still be the UK, Britain would still be Britain. "Great Britain" as a political entity would cease to exist. And I think you'll find that it's the US that will become part of England. Maybe a nice Principality. Or maybe a Duchy.

 






The United Stateshire


If you guys join us instead we'll give you the same deal we gave the tribes; well, the same deal we gave them after the genocide and treaty betrayals anyways.



You get to keep your government and have your own weird laws and are now citizens of the US but you're also citizens of your tribe. The only things you can't regulate are trade, money and the military, England and Wales would become one big reservation.

 




Only with sufficient enzymes to process alcohol at a decent rate.


Yeah, no need to outlaw booze on the English reservation.



Only question is do we need a Bureau of British Affairs to manage the British land for them?

You forgot the flow of money. Despite their leftism, Catalonians are producers. More likely to be educated, especially in STEM fields, but not neglecting finance. Catalan is also the dominant language in the region. English is dominant in Scotland. Catalunya stands a chance of not going full pinko if they were to break away. They also don't rely on a finite natural resource.

Scottish tweets showing a strong "Yes" support.
And also from Catalonia


And it's really a big stretch to keep comparing Catalunya to Scotland. So many differences in circumstances.


There are many similarities.  Catalonia and Scotland are both among the most left-wing parts of their respective countries.  Both regions already have semi-autonomy.  Both regions have their own languages and other long-established customs.  The major difference is that London is allowing this referendum, whereas Madrid is fighting any Catalan referendum.  But if Scotland votes "Yes," then Catalan nationalists will definitely feel empowered.  The Catalonians are watching the results in Scotland eagerly.

True, and in many ways Catalonia has an even greater argument for independence than Scotland, but it's hardly a "big stretch" to keep bringing up Catalonia in connection to Scotland.

The Union Flag?

Yes - we'd need to get rid of the blue bits, but that would then open up some space to allow other members of the Union to express their nationality more on the Union Flag.

The Welsh have a Dragon would be tool to have on the glad, and Northern Ireland, while not having a flag officially sanctioned by the Northern Ireland Govt could get better representation on the flag as well, either with St Patrick's Saltire, or the Ulster Banner, both countries being somewhat under-represented

What is the criteria for a voter to vote? Do they need a physical address in Scotland? What about someone serving in the MoD in Afghanistan or elsewhere? What about a Scottish person living in N.I.?

So any 16 year old or older with a physical address in Scotland then. Seems somewhat under-represented. I figured Scots in the military would get a vote as well as those living abroad.

The easier thing would be to come up with several designs and put it to the vote or a series of votes.  Democracy takes place and the winner is represented.
