I'm game.

Scotland should recieve independence. Speaking from the point of view who effectively lives in Scotland for 6 months of the year, I think it would really benefit the nation. However, it would only work if it accepted into the EU, as nationalities, work permits and the like would all be thrown into disarray. Just gonna highlight my views below:


 * Scotland should join the Eurozone.
 * Scotland's army should be considered part of the commonwealth army, rather than it's singular army.
 * A large proportion of Labour MPs are based in Scotland. The subtraction of those MPs would leave the English parliament in a mess that has not been seen since the days of the civil war.
 * Alex Salmond should be president of Scotland, rather than prime minister.
 * Westminster does not care about Scotland, or even the north of England for that matter. All that matters to the government is the south-east. Take the recent floods, for example. When it was just the south-west underwater, the Coalition didn't bat an eyelid. When the floods hit the Thames Valley, the government flip their shit.
 * If Scotland becomes independent, there should be a referndum of the Tyne, Wear and Northumberland areas to join Scotland. Like I said, Westminster couldn't care less.
 * The Tories, Lib Dems and UKIP are rubbing their hands with glee at the possibility of a minority Labour Party.

In conclusion, Westminster are pricks, and Scotland should be independent.

Rant. Over.
