So If Scotland Says Yes, Will Be There A Referendum As To The Queen Of Scotland?

[DTCwordfan]

Saw the Daily Wail today and this featured.

1. Does QE2 become QE2 of Scotland?
2. Does Scotland become a Republic within the Commonwealth of which she is the Queen Bee?
3. Does Scotland invite the Pretender to the throne, coming down the Stuart lineage, ending up with the Duke of Bavaria, one King Francis 2.

Are some of the Scots being hoodwinked by the Scottish Nazi Party as Salmond et al, well a lot of them, are Republicans and want no monarch, as they want no nuclear capability and also out of NATO as it's highly unlikely that they will commit to the 2% of GNP to be spent on NATO defence pre-requisite, given all the rest that theyy have to pay for, not withstanding £1.2 trillion of debt?

it's difficult to take you're question serious DT, when you use the words '' Scottish Nazi party'', such a pity ,

I travel all over Scotland with my job, I honestly don't see where the no vote is coming from, it seems like land owners and Huns (rangers fans) are the no voters

[berniecuddles]

as I'm not from Scotland I'm not worried if its yes or no but if it is yes what will happen to the"union jack" flag?

Panelbase came in at 48 No, 44 Yes by the way.

This is not a bad article from the BBC News: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29111447

well one has to sir a bit, doesn't one, anne! A bit of layering it on to get the blood running, as well.

[DTCwordfan]

sorry, 'stir' (as in big fat ladle here!)

// it seems like land owners and Huns (rangers fans) are the no voters //

so is it a sectarian divide on the vote then steg?

"The draft Scottish Independence Bill details that should Scotland become independent Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth would be the Head of State of an independent Scotland."
If, as at present, MSPs and the armed forces continue the 'Oath of Allegiance' to her I have never received an answer.

The 2% GDP you mention is spending on their armies not NATO defense - only 4 of the 28 members actually achieved this last year, but that is inconsequential to the NATO leader, the US.

Hopefully they would not join NATO on moral rather than financial grounds, albeit a look around you will show 'morals' are just too P.C. for most.

[steg]

I would say yes to an extent there is a sectarian dived on most things up here

[lindapalmara]

Would a Yes vote ban the Scots from AB?

[steg]

No we have already asked for an independent Scottish section linda

[DTCwordfan]

It's called 'SAB,' Linda..........

[anneasquith]

i like the word numpty !

[DTCwordfan]

think that you got the wrong section, anne; the last contribution should be over in Arts & Literature.....

[steg]

Lol dt, I may vote "naw" now

[DTCwordfan]

there's a distinct possibility that steg has a second postal vote then.....lol

[steg]

I thought we all got 2? ;)

As they used to say in Northern Ireland, "Vote early, vote often".

It's affecting the pound already.

No one has yet addressed the elephant in the room, which is this:

Referenda are a relatively new phenomenon and as far as I understand it, not binding. So if Scotland votes YES, unless by a large majority, does Westminster have to give way to them?
