  13.  @MIEJ4  In 1966 The UK signed upto The UN International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights. Article 1 states ''All peoples have the right to self-determination.'' The UK therefore recognises the unalienable right of a people to exercise their right to self determination. The Velvet Divorce in 1993 was the peaceful self determined breakup of Czechoslovakia into 2 Independent States.

  24.  @andrewpollock4599  Scotland is poorer within the UK cause of failure of the UK. Scotland hasnt seen job creation via its own central bank, treasury, currency issuing powers, stock exchange, foreign affairs, national defence force, state run international airline, west coast container port at derelict hunterston port in Ayrshire. Independence = job creation, economic development Staying ran by next door = kept poor, no job creation, no economic development like mentioned above.

  58.  @pecadodeorgullo5963  Its not. Scotland and England are 2 Recognised Nations in a Treaty. The UK is not a Nation, its a Union. Westminster has a lack of legitimacy here as Scotland has not voted Conservative in UK Elections since 1955. We always get Conservative UK governments Scotland has not voted in but England has. = Within UK Scotland does not have an adequate democracy. Independence = an adequate democracy as we'l always get what we vote for.
