Scotland should declare herself an independent nation today. Make an overnight government portfolio to remain in the EU, reject Westminster rule entirely and declare Scotland to be the new land of opportunity in the west and become the super power it can be.
One definition of a Super Power country is one that is sought after by fleeing refugee’s. It’s a loose definition in the sense that SAE is a super power in relation to Pakistan but not India. The US is for S Americans.
Scotland is for Polish people, rightly so, we have many cultural and familial ties as a result of WWII and a lot more history also. Same with India. Scotland truly is a country that does accept diversity.
It has it’s own not only natural resources and revenue streams but also a massive technology and per captia work force that is 2nd to few.
What could Westminster do? Send in the troops? That’s be interesting. My daughter is in the Army and I would join the local militia… how would that pan out then? Threaten to take use of the pound away? Let them have the English money, we already have Scottish bank notes which can on occasion already not be accepted as legal tender in some parts of England.
Let’s face it, if Scotland declared it’s independence today and made a mandate to remain in the EU with a covenant to also be allowed to drum up more tourist industry from abroad for the EU by have a special condition to trade worldwide without EU restrictions and also had power of veto of the EUJ court.
It’d put Scotland on the world stage anyway and would it not be nice to see the look on Tersa Mays and the Queens faces!
