Subject: What would happen if the UK broke up...?
fall out    5/19/2005 11:16:12 AM
First of all, im not advocating it nor do i think it likely, BUT, there are independent movements in Scotland and Wales and obviously Northern Ireland and i was wondering what your thoughts are on this? Would there be a domino affect with one meaning the others follow? Could the UK be dropped from the UN Security Council? Military power? Economic? Diplomatic? Thoughts plz ppl, FO :)

Please Scotland break away. And take your politicians with you. I am fed up with a Scottish government of the UK.

If the UK broke up then England,Scotland,Wales and N.Ireland would become poorer and they wouldn't have a say in the would so we should stick together.

No, England would become richer whereas Scotland would become poorer as the English taxpayer would no longer have to fork out the £13 billion in subsidies that we give to the Scots every year.
 
And, whilst Scotland has a shrinking population, England's is growing, so even an independent, that it's a part of the UK anymore, would still have a population of around 60 million in 15-20 years' time.  We would still be a large power, whereas Scotland would be some small, insignificant country of just 5 million inhabitants.
