What happens to combined things like the Army bases and the like ?
What happens with things like oil and the situation where Scotland gets more money per head than England?
What happens with currency and border control?

The whole idea of Scotland not being part of the UK is stupid, benefits barely any one and is a waste of time.

What bugs me is the current Situation where Wales has its own parliament, Scotland does yet England has no representation... When England and Scotland joined to create the UK all those years ago representation for both countries was disbanded and Westminster was formed to represent the United Kingdom. Now in Wales and Scotland these have been reformed yet we in England have nothing to represent our own interests. All of us should be looking towards Westminster for representation of the entire UK.

Simply put currently Scotland gets the best of both worlds with additional funding from the UK Government and the power to change many things effecting its own local interests, why would anyone give that up?

on another forum all the scottish people got angry when the english people on that forum said.

scotland can leave aslong as
they walk away with the fair share of the UK debt.
wont be protected by our army.
wont have the pound currency.
wont have all of the oil and gas because it belongs to the shetland islands if anyone and if scotland wants idependance the same goes for the shetland islands who can take the oil with them

all the pro independance scottish people are living in some dream world where they think everyone would be exactly the same as it is now but scotland would get 100% of the north sea oil and gas taxes which is never going to happen
