Ironic that the Conservative and Unionist Party are the ones who’ll go down in history as overseeing Scotland’s exit from the United Kingdom.
I wonder what's stopping the Scot's taking a leaf out of the Brexiteers play book and just holding a referendum of their own, declaring themselves an independent sovereign nation and then reneging on the 1707 Treaty of Union.Both parties are against another referendum, the Tories more than Labour, so it'll be some time before the real poll takes place.

I don't know. But they are historically a separate country rather than a part of a country just deciding to separate themselves (like Somaliland or similar)Doesn't that preclude them from being recognised as an independent state by the UN and therefore the EU and all other countries?

Bit pointless having voting intentions on something they are not going to get a vote on
I'd rather be led by a koi carp than either of them.I'd rather be lead by nicola and not Alex de fefel
Smaller countries don't have to follow the economic model of UK. Denmark and Sweden have GDPs per head 30% greater than the UK. Austria has 25% greater. What's special that those countries can thrive compared with the UK?I really do not see how their country would be economically viable on their own.
Perhaps Starmer is more likely to have a pact with the SNP to get into power, and so it could be Labour which offers the referendum.
The UK won't be soon if we keep giving billions to sercoI really do not see how their country would be economically viable on their own.

The root cause would still be Boris Johnson and the Conservative party, as they have increased the sentiment of independence across the borderCorrect, that is more likely therefore Labour ultimately breaking up the union, exact opposite to the thread title. Would labour voters sacrifice the union to take up office?
