    The monarchy may be irrelevant to you, not to me. It's everything that's wrong with the UK.

    No I'm not. You could draw a line from Bristol to The Wash and below that line it'd be 90% Tory - independence for Wessex, Sussex, Essex, Middlesex and Anglia.

    Can we not just draw a line between just south of Gretna and just north of Berwick and that'll do us . You can keep the rest .

    We're not carving up a country. We're considering our country leaving a union of countries.

    Then presumably you'd take an independent Scotland minus Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale?

    The Monarchy is indeed an irrelevance whether in the union or not.

    A monetary union (keeping the pound) is beneficial to all. However, I am not in favour of that. If we go independent then our own currency (call it a pound if ye want) is a requirement.

    Westminster threatens us that we can't have monetary union. Apparently monetary union is a great thing except with Europe where monetary union is extremely bad <laugh>

    This is where I disagree with you. The Monarchy have **** all to do with anything about anything. They're an historical sideshow act. If an independent Scotland chooses to keep them as decoration I couldny care less. It disny seem to hurt Australia or Canada.

    An independent Scotland would be a Sovereign state.
