The country of Scotland is choosing what is best for them,...
You are harping on about 'what's best for them' ... and that is, what I very much doubt!
You are rocking a boat, without knowing the outcome:
- it is neither a gradual easing in independence (what ever that means in our global connected world with so many dependencies from one to another country)
- nor is their an overall concept of what should happen and how to solve in so many areas like: borders, currencys, EU, pensions, NHS, all types of govermentinstitutions really etc. they are laking the institutions - and you cannot create from one day to another all these (and many more) of the things, we take for granted in our modern world.
My fear is, that the politicians who campagne for independence, only look for their personal gain, and/or are very shortsighted. If they would use this thread to gain more independenc INSIDE GB, I would understand that - but what they do is very dangerous indeed.
And I very much feel, that we have much more real problems in our world, than the Scottish independence (like ISIS, all the arab countries, the conflict Russia/Ukraine etc pp.)
Appart from that, you could tear appart EVERY country in Europe, Arabia, Asia, America under these asumption 'to do what's best for them' ... and where would we end?
Have you ever looked how Europe looked like for example in the 17th / 18th centuries? Everybody warring with everybody else ... To the very great disadvantage of the 'normal' people ..
I do not wish these times back - they where very dangerouse times for most people living then.
If 'everybody does, what is best for them' - their is only greed and war to be found - where does that leave
solidarity, brotherhood of men and freedom?
If some countries would take the political organisation of Switzerland with it's very much selfregulated canton, four languages and highly selfregulated communities as a copyplate, where we vote constantly for / agains somekind of thing or another, where people have acctualy a say in dayly politics, and not only when they vote who will govern them... I think this would help very much against the unrest.
