Should England now get a vote on Scotland being kicked out?

So England gets to decide does it op? What about Wales? And NI? Ffs England, England, England this is why Scotland went for this in the first place.

The only people making it Anglo-centric are the chip-shouldered Scots.

This thread isn't entirely helpful.

A waste of 1's and 0's

With the vote so close, perhaps the answer is to establish a smaller independent Scottish state and move the border North. It worked so well for Ireland...

As above, personally I feel that as Scotland spent so much energy on looking to split, should we now have the chance to vote and say we don't want them?

You think all of Scotland spent energy looking to split?

Also, you've said "personally I feel...should we now have the chance to vote...?"


You feel a question??

Personally, I feel that should more money be spent on English lessons in English schools?

Interestingly, from the results it seems that the Highlands were not so much in favour of independence as the Lowlands, esp. round the Glasgow area.

Aye, well people can move to the appropriate areas!

Indeed, it appears to be a small bit in the middle where they do not wish to be part of the Union. Perhaps they would like to become a UDI. Oh, hang on, what percentage of the Scottish income is generated there Vs Union expenditure? Hmmm. Might not work out as well as they'd hope.

On the OP's question, not I don't think that it is needed. There is almost a 10% difference between the number of Scots who want in and those who want out. This is even in light of the possibility that quite a few Scots who would logically be considered 'highly likely to be No voters' we disenfranchised. Certainly more of those than English living in Scotland who got the vote.

Naming yourself after a fish would probably be a good move, too.

It's just struck me - OP specifies that England might want a vote - what about Wales & NI ? They're in the UK too

Meh. OP is usually a pretty sound poster, he's allowed to offset that with one aholeish thread in a while. Move on, nothing to see here...

OP - A simply cretinous and idiotic question.

So Scotland having a vote on independence is great. England getting a vote on independence is juvenile and aholeish.

Form a party, put it in your manifesto, spend some time convincing enough people to vote for you so you become a majority in Westminster or one of the devolved assemblies/parliaments and you can have one. Fair's fair.

ermm what? i have no want or need to do so. I was just commenting on what looked like a hugely hypocritical post.

I didn't object to Scotland having a referendum or call people names and indeed class it as childish. I just dont see why it would be different if England had the same opportunity.
but i get the feeling that many Scottish people would not be happy if we were to indeed be equal and have our say.

yes the Op could have posed the question different. but its like reading a newspaper that has a particular editorial stance just ignore that and get to the salient point of the question.

which seemed to me to be paring out the language. they have had a vote can we have one.
