However it wouldn't work like that though
Plus lot's of the Scottish already support Independence
Since Scotland and NI would both need to reapply
As they arnt really countries right now
And arnt independent
But the United Kingdom wouldn't be leaving
And the requirements to join both countries would not meet
England and Wales would just be seceding from the United Kingdom
the EU isnt 40 yrs old... its barely 20
The United Kingdom wouldn't have left
the EEC ... which is different, is older
but that was "just a trade bloc"
It's like if Catalonia got it's independence, Spain wouldn't need to reapply to re-join the EU because of it
now its "just a trade bloc.... with a flag.. and an anthem... and an armed forces branch, and an air force branch.. and an intelligence department..."
It would cease to be the UK
Scotland would still be the UK
England is the seat of government
along with Northern Ireland
It is the seat of the monarch
It is the seat of the SC
The Union doesn't move
It would be like Washington DC leaving the Union
If England left the Union then the Union would remain with the countries that didn't leave
OK the seat of gov just leaves
England can't just take the Union with them
England has the vast majority of the population
I'd say they could of they wanted
Plus the armed forces, the HQ of everything important is in England.
if england left, we would have no army or oil, or anything, that would all be the "UK's property"
You're proposing "Solutions" that would never work in practice
Like at all
It could work
You never know
It wouldn't
It would be like pulling up a tree
That could be done
Eventually
That has for hundreds of years entangled it's roots with the whole forest around it
You'd have to destroy the forest before pulling up the tree
And who would own the overseas territories? England or the UK? It would be an almighty mess
