@gerrymcivor374 just let it be like a bitter divorce...

@gerrymcivor374 Well, as Agnetha Faltskog from the pop group ABBA said when they tried to put on a positive spin on the break up of their marriage, "As we all know, there is really no such thing as a friendly divorce." I certainly hope things will progress in a cordial and democratic way, but some of the language already seems a bit heated. When I grew up in Northern Ireland, it only took one side to get its own way and then tensions turned ugly. It was about similar issues with two hotly disputed viewpoints. Let's hope it is a friendly split that will hardly even need a mention in the history books because the transition is so peaceful. I also lived in Israel, but there is still bitterness and strife there. 🙃

@catparka7698 so of issues and concerns change again after Scotland wins independence will that warrant another (frequent, as you say) referendum to join the union again depending on the highs and lows of circumstances and issues? It's doubtful if unemployment & drugs will go away.

@catparka7698 just see how often your new independent Scotland lets you have regular referenda to change their independence, then you might find it becoming a bit more like the Westminster style. They will have the sovereign power to make up the rules.

@geneytube18 with high unemployment and drug addiction. Will it suddenly become Utopia?

@BrokenBackMountains And be financially independent and viable. No more handouts from Westminster when things go pear-shaped. I live in Northern Ireland and our little country relies heavily on finance from Westminster as we couldn't survive without it, with high unemployment and a whole lot of social problems. The Irish Government are not running to pick up the tab.
