Originally posted by divegeesterI appreciate knowing that. For me, it's just a no brainer independance or codependence, or however you'd describe the set up. 😕
CP you seem to be confusing the situation of the American war of independence with the Scotish situation of wanting contemporary political independence. It's worth remembering that there are 59 Scotish MPs sitting in Westminster and while they can vote on matters English, the English MPs cannot vote on matters Scotish.

What are you referring to as England's "powers and principalities"?

It's outrageous to have the nerve to vote for independence. They should have a violent bloody revolution, the old fashioned way.

The minority of the population ran the rebellion. The majority are often duped with promises of safety and protection and the ease of the status quo.
