Stop WAR in Ukraine ! http://twitter.com/@euromaidan PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Yea Britain. Rob Roy will be rolling in his grave, and the heart bet was that they would vote for independence. But economically this probably works better.
So Yea for Britain and Scotland.
Now they need to go get South Ireland. And can we cut a deal for Canada?

I just don't see what was to gain from independence.
If we get Southern Ireland back does that mean my family will get back our property in Dublin?
Funnily enough we had to use a lot of persuasion to get some countries to leave, although granted Canada wasn't one of those countries, but all good things come to an end, and to use an analogy all children hopefully leave home someday. Scotland leaving would have been much more like Mummy and Daddy getting a divorce though.

So Canada is still on the table? Maybe in the wake of the Scottish vote the time is ripe for a negotiation over Nova Scotia?
As an Alabamian, I'd be willing to discuss a trade involving Nova York for the Bahamas? Or Nova Jersey for the Barbados?

Canada's not on the table but Quebec might be - again. Tread carefully though. Ya might wanna think twice about that one.

Didn't have a dog in this battle, personally (Irish background), but we did have a good debate about this in my class to help the learners understand the implications of the referendum as two of them were born in England.
One of the learners found this link that had a few interesting outlooks on what the flag could look like if Scotland went 'Yes'...

Oh, and just tweaking... but what about Wales? Where did they go?

Have to admit that the main issue was that no-one knew what would happen. Yes was fairies, rainbows and there was always going to be jam for tea. No was doom, gloom, and escape from New York in Glasgow. The truth would presumably have been somewhere inbetween.
Wales was 100% part of England from 1547 until 1967 (legally at least) so the issue never really came up.
