//You should be fighting to persuade the Scottish that the SNP is wrong to wish to leave//
Why? Scotland doesn’t do so badly from the rest of us - and the Scots voted for Sturgeon and her motley crew so I guess that's who they want. With them at the helm, yes, devolution is a disaster - for the people of Scotland.

> If Scotland left the union, exactly what effect would that have on the rest of the UK?
It wouldn't be the UK. Substitute any English region into the above sentence in place of Scotland, e.g. Yorkshire and the Humber has a similar-sized population and economy to Scotland ...

They need us more than we need them? They are us, and we are them. If parts go, you lose the whole.
It is disappointing to see how many voters for the Conservative and Unionist Party are dismissive of the Union.

We are a small island. Growing more insignificant globally. As an island we should unite all peoples of our land. Devolution equals division. Separate fiefdoms is our past not our future. England, Scotland, Wales as one, sharing in prosperity and adversity. Unite Ireland also.

Well, I'm neither of those things. All I mean is that if the Scots want their independence, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I'm sure there are some here that would delight in Scotland struggling if they left the union, I'm not one of them either. If they want to go, let them do so on good terms, I don't think either country will sink without the other.
