It would be interesting, wouldn't it?

As an American (and of Scottish ancestry), I am not completely sure how I feel about this!

I wonder what kind of laughable socialist nanny-state the Scots would craft for themselves(?) Do they think that "Benny Argyle" will be any funnier than Benny Hill?

After the gene pool ravages of the migration to the New World and and two World Wars, I'm wondering where they found the backbone even to consider such things. Mel Gibson complex(?)

It's increasingly this way around Europe: devolution among the nations, but evolution of the EU. Regionalist Europeans think that they can be more independent of their state by paradoxically becoming more integrated with the EU.

Just a thought from across the pond:

""We must all hang together or assuredly we will all hang seperately."

I think the whole of Britain has far greater foes to confront than one another. I can't speak for the internal forces of politics between different entities, but I'm certain that Britain will be stronger in facing the brewing storm together than apart.

I really don't see how a split between Scotland and England would hurt Scottish business at all. In fact, it may open up new opportunities as Scotland could forge the closer relations with the EU that England has long resisted.

A company of nations. I can't see how this could matter. It's not as if Scotland was never a nation.
