Well fortunately Scotland voted to stay part of the UK which im pleased about! Im sure there will be some who will be disappointed but more will be relieved.
My sister and half of my family live in Scotland and are Scottish (I live in England) and i know they are relieved..Segregating Scotland from England would have had a very negative impact on both parts.
Hostility between Scotland and England dates back to the Romans..there was unrest, rivalry and fighting consistently and sadly some of the Scots still harbour a resentment from centuries that is passed down through ancestors.
I believe that unrest would have surged both parts and there would be potential for fighting and even terrorism. Investors would withdraw their monies out of Scotland and England and both countries would become poorer...
Hey kilg0retr0ut, I will never understand why some countries, my own included, have this obsession to stay connected to England, it does nothing in return for the support it receives.
