That's a great statement to use to promote Scottish independence. Just because England has the most voters, does not always mean it will be in Scotland's best interest. Very true and to be expected as part of the union. Therefore, any unionist Scot voting against Scotland's best interest is quite rightly deemed as a traitor, just like any English person voting against the interest of England should be regarded as too. Its the very definition of the word. It's the same arguement used for the UK leaving the EU.

Great. Then Scotland's oil & gas revenues immediately go to Holyrood.

Given that Scotland is a smaller country with greater resources they subsidise England. The Barnett formula was created to extort Scotland. So you know what you can do with your nonsense.

FYI, when Maggie introduced that, the Scottish were unhappy with it. Because the Scots have a smaller population doesn’t mean they have less roads to manage or less remote schools and health care to pay for. And think of the impact the underfunding and neglect did to Scotland for the 250 years prior to that. Also the formula occasionally doesn’t consider big investment in England like the London Olympics or that stupid train that doesn’t reach the north of England never mind Scotland.

The Barnett Formula? People in England with a rapiy expanding population, needs this more than Scotland, as the SNP give out so many freebies,,to get themselves elected!

Voiding the Act does not terminate the treaty. You have to denounce the treaty and abolish the Act. The Acts merely ratify the treaty.

@@GMiller75 then that is what needs to be done FREE ENGLAND

You already have an "English" parliament...that is the problem.

@@billmacleod6169 No they don't. The parliament at Westminster is the parliament of GB which houses both countries governments as equals. The English parliament was abolished in 1707 in order to create the state parliament. While, yes, the English government under its adopted political name of UK treats it as though it were an English parliament, legally it is not. The reason why they do so however is because the Scottish government (MPs) elected to govern Scotland, who are legally obligated to sit in the state parliament, sit at the back of the chamber and defer governance to their treaty partner instead of sitting directly opposite the English government as equals in both treaty and law and governing Scotland. The English government can take responsibility for a great many things but not for deferring governance. That is wholly on the Scottish government. It is why they were openly mocked and slammed for walking out of parliament en masse. Without suspending or denouncing the treaty they were legally obligated to sit in the state parliament and had to return a few hours later. It is also why the Speaker had to get permission from the Scottish government to suspend Scottish government ministers from the chamber as was witnessed when the current speaker was apoplectic with rage at Hanvey and McAskill for stating Scotland is sovereign and inadvertently ending the treaty by unilaterally telling the Scottish government to get out of the parliament and had to hastily seek the permission of the Scottish government ministers to suspend the two MPs.

Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain part of the EU.

The author of this comment has a low IQ

The Majority of us don't, and thats why there were several Scots Regiments in the Duke of Cumberlands army at Culloden In fact it was the Scots soldiers who were responsible for many atrocities. Lowland Scots were NO Jacobites and regiments such as The Royal Scots(until recently the oldest regiment in the British Army Known as Pontius Pilutes Bodyguard within the Army) and the North British Fusileirs(Ayrshire) set about suppressing the Jacobites with relish. They were aided in this by The Campbell Militia(The Argyles)The Duke of Argyle's own. Some English Yeomanry are known to have taken part,notably Kingstons Horse who included many civvy butchers in their ranks. However as The British Army of the day included many Scots,Welsh and Irish it is extremly bigoted for Scots today to attribute all atrocities to Englishmen. There are documented instances of English Officers intervening to save rebels. Perhaps an examination of the activities of a certain Major Carolin Scott(a lowland Scot) might be interesting to some nationalists.

Please just vote us out your vile union

You are so wrong. If Scotland got to keep, and COUNT, its own revenues instead of them being collected by the UK and used to help pay for running the UK, including the part called Scotland, then Scotland would be much better off, and the UK that much worse off. You better believe it.

@ESClad: ‘’Do the other three home nations get a vote on whether we want Scotland to leave?’’ No, it’s up to Scotland alone to decide.

As a Scot, I think England would be fine, but Scotland and especially Wales would struggle. I doubt most nationalists would be happy paying massive taxes like Denmark. England would end up bearing the brunt of their failure. Ireland still depend heavily on the UK 100 years after leaving.

@@alexboitz8540 Scotland gets the second highest funding per head of all of the funding areas of the UK. Northern Ireland gets the most, followed by Scotland, then Wales. There is a recent exception during Covid in which London had second highest spending in 2020/2021, but it's not the rule. The areas in the UK that get the lowest per head funding are in the Midlands and south east. England per head funding as a whole averages less than that spent in each of the other three UK countries. There is a very significant gap in the spend per head, particularly if you compare to the least funded area...which is in England, and the highest in Northern Ireland followed very closely by Scotland. The east midlands, south east and east are bottom of the pack for combined current plus capital spend per head. You should have a look so you can see exactly how much each England region gets and compare, for current, capital and combined. East Midlands should be complaining the most. East had some of the poorest places in the EU, decimated towns like Lowestoft, Great Yarmouth and Jaywick...yet all we hear about is Belfast, Glasgow and the Valleys, the North South divide in England. No one gives a monkey's about the employment and infrastructure problems in the regions adjacent to London, in the south and midlands. Worst funded. Horrific property prices and wages that go nowhere near buying a home. Dense population.

What I do know is, having lived north, south, east and west in England, and in Scotland (sorry Wales and Northern Ireland I havent had the pleasure of living there so cannot comment) is that there are those in Scotland that can moan even more than the Scousers, and I didn't think that was a thing that was possible. The North west generally has the highest per head spend in England after London. How is it that those areas that get the most money per head and benefit from reasonable property prices still, are those that never stop talking about how badly off they are? Do you think it would be truly fair if every region and country got exactly the same amount per head? Or perhaps you favour a model where areas that make the most money get the most per head? Why do people in Edinburgh or Aberdeen or Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, get more than the people in Great Yarmouth or Jaywick?

So for example if you were born in Scotland does that then mean after independence you would automatically default to being Scottish, losing your UK Citizenship and British passport and rights to live and work in the rest of the UK? Or would the fact that you were born a Brit mean you could opt for dual nationality UK and Scottish after the independence?
