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?

Gog has nothing to do with anybodies colour AOG, so why bring the issue into the debate ?

[Obiter]

What you were taught at school, AOG, does not necessarily represent the truth.

"The Queen's title in the UK is "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith".
//When did it change?//

1707.

To have another go at answering your question DTC, Liz is Queen and Head of State of lots of countries a round the world, because they are in the Commonwealth. But we don't know if Salmond want to leave the Commonwealth, as as the UK, and the EC. If he stays in the Commonwealth, and doesn't become a Republic, I guess the Queen will remain Queen.

All this is unchartered territory you know !

[DTCwordfan]

Nobody has ventured into the question of whether we should embrace more federalism as part of this as per my remarks on Page 1.

[Wharton]

An independent Scotland will keep HM as queen and there's nothing she can do about it, a wee bit like the Bank of England having no say in Scotland retaining Sterling.

[Quizmonster]

The Queen's mother was a member of the Bowes-Lyon family whose seat is at Glamis Castle in Angus, so she is just as much Scottish as she is English.

[mikey4444]

QM...Liz was born hundreds of miles south of the Border. She is no more Scottish than I am, and I'm not !

This reminds me that Vinny Jones played football for Wales a few times, for the sole reason that one of his Aunties used to holiday each year in Llandudno !

[jeffa]

Vinnie Jones had a Welsh grandparent, thereby entitling him to play for the Welsh national team.

[Obiter]

The Queen does not have a drop of English blood in her veins. German, Danish, Scottish, yes, but English, no.

[mikey4444]

Obiter...I appreciate the point of what you are saying but Liz's father, George 6th was born in Sandringham, which is near England, in 1895.

/// PaddyPower still gives the YES vote ahead. ///

There you go with your 'racist' remarks again. :0)

[Peter Pedant]

Oh God AOG has had a milky drink again....

here's another racist remark:

the fact that a man is born in a stable does not make him a horse....
Duke of wellington about his Irish ancestry - born in Merrion House Dublin but he didnt look on himself as Orish. Probably said about him in fact.

[Colmc54]

Could the Queen, if she so desired, chose to surrender her sovereignty over Scotland?

[jeffa]

No. The reigning sovereign in our particular flavour of constitutional monarchy has no individual powers whatsoever. She could abdicate, obviously...

[Obiter]

If the Queen were ever cease to be sovereign of Scotland then evey visit to Balmoral would fall under the category of a state visit. Imagine Salmond having to shell out for all the expense that would involve.

[jeffa]

^^Total and utter garbage!

[New Judge]

"PaddyPower still gives the YES vote ahead. "

They certainly do not, Mikey. PaddyPower, nor indeed any other bookmaker, makes the "Yes" vote favourite, or anywhere close. PP is currently offering 2 to 7 on "No", 11 to 4 "Yes". All the major bookies are offering around 3/1 for "Yes" (the shortest odds I can see are 5/2). Odds for "No" vary between 1/3 and 1/5.

[Obiter]

What odds are the bookies giving on a draw?

Obiter, Mrs Windsor owns Balmoral. She'd be visiting her holiday home and would, as usual, be made welcome as are all visitors to this great country.
