It won't make any difference to the UK state, which will not give a section 30 order. That does not prevent the Scottish Parliament from holding a referendum, but means that the result wouldn't be considered binding by the UK, and they would declare it to be "lllegitimate". It certainly wouldn't be illegal, though it's possible that the UK will try to make it so by legislating at Westminster.<br /><br />What it comes to is this - the deep state of the U.K. has every intention of hanging on to Scotland by any means necessary, including force. The Scottish independence movement is a civic, peaceful and generally hopeful thing, and finds it hard to believe that the UK will act in this way. I am afraid they are in for a rude awakening. Boris and his cronies, driven be deeper forces, could do absolutely anything.<br /><br />Even if Boris is dethroned, forces in the state will ensure they keep possession of Scotland's resources. England considers Scotland to be owned by them and their Scottish unionist collaborators.<br /><br />I am not saying independence will not come ever, and I fervently hope it will, but if it does it will be a long hard road, and I may be too old to see the end of it. Good luck to Wales too.East Neukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227592664964765886noreply@blogger.com
