Should The Rest Of The Uk Now Get A Vote?

[youngmafbog]

Given Salmon has it in his paper that the Scottish have a right to keep the pound and will do so, should that not mean the rest of the UK should have a say in their independence?

There is no way the UK can be tied like this to Scotland.

Let them go, let them have the British Pound, we will have the new UKPound instead.

And good luck to them. Sooner they go the better.

Can anyone else see a messy divorce on the horizon?

Who will get custody of the pound, Royal family, Bruce Forsyth and the weather...?

"we will have the new UKPound instead."

This one always make me laugh. The "United Kingdom" consists of two kingdoms - England and Scotland. Although nowadays thought of as separate countries in their own right, Wales and Norther Ireland have never been kingdoms - the former is a principality and the latter a province. There has never been a true king of Wales or Northern Ireland.

So, if Scotland gains independence, the kingdom of England will have no other kingdom with which to be "united".

So how would a "UKPound" work, exactly?

I'd rather just have the weather, rocky!

Salmond said ''There will be No border controls. And he knows this How ??

[brionon]

This would mean that anyone who enters Scotland could enter England- so we would have to trust our immigration policy to the Scots !!

good points mikey but one important error. If the whole UK voted they would vote for it there would be independence by a landslide and as you say Tory perpetual rule. every cloud eh?
