Scottish First Minister: Second Independence Referendum "Highly Likely". - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Big Bang;50596425]That's actually something that hasn't been decided yet. It's possible for an independent Scotland to hold the Queen as a monarch in the same way that other Commonwealth realm countries do since there isn't really any bad blood between Scotland and the monarchy, at least not like it is with Ireland.[/QUOTE] That's slightly disappointing Was really looking forward to the flanged greatmace strategy

[QUOTE=AimlessGiant;50596086]I think we're gonna have a kind of Scottish bloodbowl to decide who the new monarch is. I've been waiting 22 long years for this, I am prepared.[/QUOTE] If only Idi Amin was still alive.:v:

I imagine this will stay the same in a second referendum. There are a few people who want rid of the monarchy but they are ultra-nationalists who think everyone should speak Gaelic and wear kilts all the time so nobody takes them seriously.

[QUOTE=Boilrig;50596370]Yep. But if Scotland does this, then we are in real trouble because it will just stack on top of the UK one.[/QUOTE] If people didn't want this, then they shouldn't have voted to leave then. There's economic trouble already because of this, so what's the big deal? Nobody gives a shit because now half of the major arguments for staying in the UK are gone. A vote for leaving the EU is also a vote for Scotland and Ireland leaving the UK. Now that's happened and the UK is going to reap the inevitable "rewards" of it.

[QUOTE=Boilrig;50596370]Yep.
