No, because that's what they use when voting in the British Parliament.

It's a total waste of time and (British) money. If the Scottish Nationalists were serious they would have some credible answers to how they are actually going to manage a country that will have almost no revenue after independence. Unfortunately the argument is based on the premise that they are ruled by the (hated) English, and have no say in their own affairs, so it appeals to the "little Scotlander" mentality.

Didn't the English say the same thing about every country they occupied?

Technically, it was the British (not the English) that occupied a quarter of the world. The Scottish have played a very significant role in the British military.

Psst, it was a union not an invasion. Also, if anyone was the usurper, it was the Scots taking over the English crown and not the t'other way. To be fair the vote should be in England & Wales to leave Scotland.

I think the correct term you are looking for is purchase - at least of their parliament. Or bribe, bribe is closer.
You'll note that, practically as soon as the Crowns were unified, the King'o'Scotland moved south of the border to dryer and less deep-fried climes.

You think the English occupied Scotland?

You should see the situation more from an open source point of view. If nobody has the guts you end up with giants producing sh*tty products. BTW they have Scots Whiskey what else do you need ?

I did here a good campaign slogan from a drunk Scotsman:
'You can keep our women, but we're having the whisky!'

No they don't. Unlike the Irish stuff, Scottish whisky does not have an e.

No such thing, you probably mean Scotch Whisky.

Yes I do.

Scots may have Whiskey, but they'd keep quiet about it. Now Whisky on the other hand ...

It would be a fallacy according to what Alex Salmond wants.
1) He would share a currency with rUK, rather than having an independent currency.
2) He would re-enter the EU and cede power to a federalist Brussels.
Doesn't sound very independent to me.

Now you get me thinking this is another yet to be successful european takeover.

Well maybe, but he might make it more of a Lounge question if he asks about whether the independent Scottish banks should upgrade from Fortran and Cobol.

Come to think of it to be save should talk about the Encapsulation of Scotland and a creating a Singleton government instead of independent Scotland.

Big waste of time and taxpayers money though it would solve the West Lothian question once and for all.

The West Lothian question being: "Where the Elephant is West Lothian?"
