But Scotland had the choice to stay or leave. They chose to stay, voluntarily.
If Scotland had really wanted to leave when they had the referendum they should have given England the chance to vote too
Scots born Scots actually voted for independence, the vote (rightly) was open to all residents of Scotland including those born elsewhere in the UK and also in the EU. Raising support for independence by 20 points was no mean feat..
Yet democracy doesn't stand still and a great many events have occurred in the past 11 years. England only granted the right to have a referendum when it viewed the prospect of Scotland deciding Yes was a non-starter. Now that Yes is very likely to win, England refuses Scotland the right..
How is that a voluntary union? A voluntary union is when Scotland itself decides whether it wishes to hold a referendum.
And how on Earth is allowing 48m English voters the right to decide the future of 5m Scots, a voluntary union? You don't think its bad enough England deciding when we can vote?
You know you can go on holiday to Planet Earth for a visit if you want.
Once again, just for you, and try and let this sink in this time. It's not about what the English want or deign to give. It shouldn't be about them, it should be about us.
