Seems like there is nothing but bad news on the horizon for this former world-spanning empire. The British Prime Minister has recently managed to anger the rest of the EU by refusing to sign the fiscal discipline agreement. London has virtually turned into a Arab/Paki/African mish-mash playground. The quality of life in the UK generally seems to be dropping as 1984-esque laws are being put into place, largely as a dysfunctional response to the aforementioned problem. And now Scotland is planning on declaring independence.
The devolved Government of Scotland is very intent on restoring Scotland as an independent country, which it used to be around 300 years ago. A referendum will be held a couple of years from now among the Scots, asking whether or not Scotland should continue as a sovereign nation. I assume if the secessionists succeed, Scotland will follow the example of Ireland, and enter the EU as an independent republic. Interestingly enough, a greater percentage of Englishmen would support a divorce between the UK and Scotland than of the Scots themselves.
If this initiative comes to fruition, the UK will be composed solely of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Predictably, the Westminster parliament is strictly against this notion. Progress of Scottish independence.
