Its amazing how one equates political freedoms. My advocacy for change in Great Britain does not include wrecking the economies that have managed to intertwine themselves somewhat successfully.

The working political model is the same ones adapted by the progeny of the British Empire, specifically Canada and Australia. Indeed one part of Canada was allowed to vote for secession twice. And twice remaining in the union won. Quebec is viewed as a partner.

Still they had the right to make that choice. It makes for a better partnership. And looking at all the material from modern day Scotland, that's all they want. At the end of the day, I believe that even though theoretically independent. People on all the British Isle will want to remain in close association economically and yes politically.

This model has worked in Switzerland for five hundred years as a federation. It has four distinct cultures together by choice not by monarchist or political decision. The present day United Kingdom could adapt the models their nation building created. Nor does it mean any less for the Monarchy. Two members of the Commonwealth still use the British Monarch as a head of state.

For instance, England would have a state parliament then create another smaller federal parliament in a new federal capital. This would give the cultures of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ulster state parliaments and a new central capital district outside London. This type of partnership would functionally work better than the present Imperial model where junior parliaments exist but all are found in the English parliament.

What is disturbing about the Scottish nationalism is that it is far more alive (about seventy percent for) than in Canada's province of Quebec (about 40%). Its amazing that the lid has been on this for almost three centuries.
