It's like if Catalonia got it's independence, Spain wouldn't need to reapply to re-join the EU because of it

2019-10-07 14:38:17 UTC  

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..."

2019-10-07 14:38:50 UTC  

It would cease to be the UK

2019-10-07 14:38:56 UTC  

Scotland would still be the UK

2019-10-07 14:38:59 UTC  

England is the seat of government

2019-10-07 14:39:00 UTC  

along with Northern Ireland

2019-10-07 14:39:05 UTC  

It is the seat of the monarch

2019-10-07 14:39:09 UTC  

It is the seat of the SC

2019-10-07 14:39:22 UTC  

The UK would still be England and co

2019-10-07 14:39:32 UTC  

The Union doesn't move

2019-10-07 14:39:47 UTC  

It would be like Washington DC leaving the Union

2019-10-07 14:39:49 UTC  

If England left the Union then the Union would remain with the countries that didn't leave

2019-10-07 14:39:54 UTC  

OK the seat of gov just leaves

2019-10-07 14:40:00 UTC  

England can't just take the Union with them

2019-10-07 14:40:23 UTC  

England has the vast majority of the population

2019-10-07 14:40:29 UTC  

I'd say they could of they wanted

2019-10-07 14:41:01 UTC  

Plus the armed forces, the HQ of everything important is in England.

2019-10-07 14:41:17 UTC  

if england left, we would have no army or oil, or anything, that would all be the "UK's property"

2019-10-07 14:41:34 UTC  

You're proposing "Solutions" that would never work in practice

2019-10-07 14:41:39 UTC  

Like at all

2019-10-07 14:41:43 UTC  

It could work

2019-10-07 14:41:47 UTC  

You never know

2019-10-07 14:41:47 UTC  

It wouldn't

2019-10-07 14:42:05 UTC  

It would be like pulling up a tree

2019-10-07 14:42:14 UTC  

That could be done

2019-10-07 14:42:16 UTC  

Eventually

2019-10-07 14:42:22 UTC  

That has for hundreds of years entangled it's roots with the whole forest around it

2019-10-07 14:42:32 UTC  

You'd have to destroy the forest before pulling up the tree

2019-10-07 14:42:41 UTC  

And who would own the overseas territories? England or the UK? It would be an almighty mess

2019-10-07 14:42:48 UTC  

Like I said

2019-10-07 14:42:50 UTC  

Tree

2019-10-07 14:42:52 UTC  

Roots

2019-10-07 14:42:53 UTC  

Forest

2019-10-07 14:43:30 UTC  

England is the centre of the forest that is the UK

2019-10-07 14:44:46 UTC  

what the SNP should do... is have a referendum to leave, but only allow english people to vote on it... then theyll finally get their independence

2019-10-07 14:44:57 UTC  

Honestly

2019-10-07 14:45:02 UTC  

If they do vote to leave

2019-10-07 14:45:11 UTC  

It'll make brexit look like a cakewalk

2019-10-07 14:45:13 UTC  

I hope they do

2019-10-07 14:45:20 UTC  

Scotland is very annoying

2019-10-07 14:45:30 UTC  

Like easy street
