It is a sign of the arrogance of the English media that the Scottish elections have been so greatly ignored up until now, because their impact will be strongly felt. \u00a0The SNP have promised to hold a referendum on independence, and have summarily won in a landslide. \u00a0So, where would Scottish independence leave the so-called \u201cUnited Kingdom\u201d; England, Wales and the six counties of Northern Ireland isn\u2019t such a Great British Empire, is it?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The simple tone of the article is entertaining. In truth WE may be on a similar path here.\u00a0 I can not help but to look at states rights issues cropping up around the corner.<\/p>\n
