I doubt this is big news anywhere outside the UK but Scotland is thinking of breaking of from Great Britain and going it alone as an independent country. Some within the UK think this is a terrible idea while others think its a reat idea (and not ll of thos in favour are Braveheart fans...)

I was just curious to see the oppinions of those outside the UK. Is it wise for a wee country to try and make it alone in all the ecenomic mess? Should it stick with the UK to keep its power? (however slight tha actually is). or is it a good idea to take all those risks and challenges if it meant a more representative democracy?

any thoughts? just curious

Yeah, they'll allow it, they wouldn't have much choice in the matter. As for who keeps how much of what and splitting out the oil and debts and military and so on will need to be discussed and agreed upon first, divorces are very rarely mess free, after all. England will get to keep the Welsh tho

That would be a wise move. France had the opportunity to better themselves last election and well you see what happened there.

I think every country should stand on its own feet and not be under any countries jurisdiction.
