As an American, I can see that there’s what appears to be a vocal minority in Scotland pushing for independence, but I genuinely have no understanding of how likely that is to ever actually happen. Is it at least in the realm of possibility, or is it more of a “The South shall rise again” type thing? (No offense intended to either side of the debate, just genuinely curious.)
I don’t live in Scotland, but I can’t even imagine what it must’ve been like to have that close referendum followed by Brexit only a couple of years later.
What I’m wondering about right now though is Irish unification? That seems to be building up some serious momentum from everything I’ve been reading.
There’s a meme going around in the Star Trek comminutes showing Data referencing the Irish Reunification of 2024, it’s crazy that that’s happening!
Careful celebrating. It also predicted WWIII in 2026…
Only a couple of months until the Bell riots
That is concerningly possible.
The SNP said Brexit would happen and England would make Boris Johnson prime minister. They were mocked by the media for both predictions.
The Unionists promised Scotland would receive more powers if they voted no. The day after the referendum David Cameron announced English votes for English laws. A policy that would remove Scottish MPs from the sovereign capabilities of Parliament.
