Well the UK wouldn't even exist any more, technically, so it would neither be enhanced or damaged...

I think the UK as a whole has more to offer on the world's stage than if we were separate countries.
If Ireland become one combined country, and Scotland and Wales were "spun off" as separates countries, all these individual countries (including England) would be more insignificant places on the world stage.

It isn't something I'd immediately have thought of, but the point is made that if one represents fewer voices then one's persuasive ability is likely to be reduced.
That said it would be less of an issue if we got out of the EU. But I'm sure someone might point out the damage would be with whomever we dealt with.
I suspect more is being made of it than would be the case though.
And I think the enhanced comment is just mischief making.
Of course the next thing is to start making those union flags without the blue triangles. I need to buy shares in that company.

Scotland is predominantly full of lefties. Get shot of them and industrialists from around the world would be more inclined to invest in the United Kingdom of England.
The Sweaties would also need a passport to come in (until they joined Europe - by which time hopefully we will be out so they would still need one)
Also, with Salmon and his crowd advocating change that always puts of investment. Settle it once and for all and investors know where they stand.

Jake, you didnt read my post properly before taking finger to keyboard did you?
//need a passport to come in (until they joined Europe//
And therein lies the clue. Eire is in Europe, no passport/visa required. Unless Scotland was given automatic entry on day 1 into the EU (a rather worrying precedent and I doubt would happen given the PIGS) then they would need a passport/visa.

the Irish haven't needed a passport to get to the rest of the UK since before the EU -- in the same way, it's likely that the CTA agreement would extend automatically, or at least with a bare minimum of fuss, to Scotland.
