Why aren't they an independent country yet?
>>225042528isnt the king meant to be the ruler of scotland, england, wales, and north ireland? i dont know, how would they secede? would Scotland become a republic? All I remember is they had a referendum and it was close but remain won. That being said, I think if the referendum was held today they might choose to leave. UK's in the shitter. But does Scotland really have enough going for it to stand on its own? That's another thing to consider.
they feel like a distinct nation state to mehttps://files.catbox.moe/j05wqs.mp4what lovely accents they have :D
>>225042615I have a feeling they’d take on a commonwealth country status and still have the king as their head of state but the union with Westminster would be dissolved. They’d be like Canada with an easier time living and working in England, but an anon from the UK might have a better idea what would actually happen.
Scotland independence doesn't really make sense, they consensually and enthusiastically united with England and they loved the British Empire. it's like a cargo cult of Ireland made by people who grew up with leftist anti-colonial studies
