Sorry mattie you guys lost the vote for independence and are still a part of the British kingdom. Don't forget to courtsey to Queen Elizabeth II when you visit.
A national referendum was held in Scotland on 18 September 2014. Voters were asked to answer either "Yes" or "No" to the question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?" During the week prior to the election, there were heated debates about the consequences of a "yes" vote for Scotland's economy, military, finances, currency, government pensions, its share of UK debt, question of passports/citizenship, whether the Queen would be retained as Head of State, and its relations with NATO, The Commonwealth of Nations, the United Nations, and the European Union. The "No" option won, achieving 55.3% of votes, compared to the "Yes" proportion of 44.7%, from a voter participation rate of 84.5%.

How is 1 Samuel 8 hate speech? Should we ban the Bible now?
No. The Bible is not 'hate speech'. What YOU wrote about, comparing the ignorance of demanding a king to a similar "ignorance" in voting for Obama, is 'hate speech'. Political hate speech, which, as such, does NOT belong here.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie First of all as far as we (the Scottish people) are concerned she is not Queen Elizabeth II as we never had an Elizabeth I. In fact said Elizabeth I put our Queen Mary Stuart to death. She was born in England (a different country) and has a different nationality. As for residing in her royal residences she would be as well as residing in a different universe as far as being relevant is concerned.
The majority of the "we the Scottish poeple" care less about independent and more about their economic stability, which is what et voted for in your referendum. They all know that Scotland cannot do without the wealth of the rest of the UK and predominantly.
Give us a king!!!
