Why would you ever want to be part of a kingdom that conquered you?

Scots self-aggrandizing :lol you engaged in plenty of exploitation yourself, pls
If this does pass, can't wait to see all the catalonians and basques speak up again

Nope, I don't have faith in petroeconomies for the long term future. Scotland has some other strong sectors but...
The EU will fall apart. It was a stupid idea from the beginning.
As for the last bit, I have no comment on English or Scottish invective. I simply think it's best for the UK to remain united, all parties included. Nationalism is nice and all but it'll continue to matter less and less with an increasingly globalized culture, imho.

A barrel is around a 100 bucks.

The Irish Free State had the UK's monarch as its head of state.
Given the complications of divorce, it doesn't seem imprudent to maintain the same head of state until you can fully republicanize.
Sounds like you've been listening to the BBC Esch.
Petro euro's not good
EU falling apart
Only Elizabeths teet can save Scotland
But they want to remain subjects of her majesty. :heh
Isn't this some stupid half hearted independence where the Bank of England still gets to spank them like the ECB does to the southern states? Sounds great :shaq2
Definitely the biggest criticism of the Yes campaign was the fact that they are really excited about the prospect of independence, but less so about the nuts and bolts, which are monstrously complex (currency, borders, eu status, trade treaties). I fully expect the next time this rolls around (it looks to be no right now) they will choose a better mix of fiery nationalists and sober technocrats and be on their way.But they want to remain subjects of her majesty. :heh

WHAT?
Not to demean Canada and Oz, but they are recent creations (I think both the Canada and Australia acts were signed in the 80s)
I heard that the Free Trade Agreement signed by Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney has a secret clause providing for annexation and de facto making Canada the 51st state.

Is there any reason why there were no exit polls on this thing?
