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?

"she might also decide to appoint a Governor-General."

She might, but she couldn't! A Governor-General of Scotland would be chosen by the head of the Scottish government and presented to the Queen for "approval", which she could not refuse.

As to the Scottish 'Nazi' Party :-

UK Royal Family - Made in Germany.

The NATO one is a belter... no-one seems to realise that Scotalnd will never be a part of NATO because the policy is to be free of Nuclear Weapons... NAT charter is set in stone, they will not be admitted

I'm in Edinburgh just now and one thing is for sure I won't be going out on the town on Friday night..As a local said today "there'll be a lot of greeting come Friday"

LOL...

First there is the guaranteed spending limits in terms of defence and mainly there is the fact that Kim Jock Eck plans to rid the country of Trident.... Nuclear Sharing is a key part of the NATO Strategy they will not be allowed into NATO unless they sacrifice a key part of the great white wishlist.... mind you to get what Salmond wants it'll be a small part of the necessary sacrifices

"the Queen could refuse to accept a nomination"

No she couldn't. She simply does not have that power, any more than she has the power to refuse to sanction an act of parliament.


"Technically, she could just appoint who she wanted to"

No she couldn't, technically or otherwise.


"could new Scotland afford to do this?"

Yes, easily.

[jeffa]

"Kim Jock Eck"

When you use phrases like that, it only serves to underline that you haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

[Slapshot]

As much clue as any of the rest of the Yestapo Mob around us at the minute..... hanging onto every word of Salmonds promises of a Utopian state.

Fact - NATO entry is specifically dependant on a 2% GDP spend on defence
Fact - Salmond will need a UNAINMOUS vote to gain entry to the Council
Fact - Unless he backs down over Trident he will not gain entry
Fact - Three years working in the HQ of the NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps in Intel and Doctrine gives me enough knowledge of the workings of NATO to comment

[Wharton]

An independent Scotland not in NATO? Gie's peace :-)

[THECORBYLOON]

Only four NATO countries are spending at least 2% of GDP on defence so Scotland need have no major concerns.

[jeffa]

Indeed and, of the 28 current members of NATO, only three have nuclear weapons.

[Zacs-Master]

Slapshot:
According to NATO guidelines, member countries should spend at least 2% of their GDP on defence. Only four countries spent that much in 2013: Estonia, Greece, the USA and the UK.

Its called Nuclear Sharing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sharing

The 2.0% of GDP was only agreed BY ALL NATIONS recently at Celtic Manor like all fluctuations in NATO spending the member nations will match it.

There's no debate any more anyway, the yestapo have seen to that, bullying, intimidation and the rule of the mob, Salmond has done a fine job of fomenting that, jingoism and blind ignorance of what Independence will really mean has killed the debate. The most important decisions we'll ever make as a nation and the most uninformed

[Slapshot]

yeah ZM, I know, half a dozen others are within 0.1 - 0.15% of budget, this budget increase was for specific reasons rather than a random increase. UK have commissioned the Prince of Wales for service rather than sale to meet commitments

[jeffa]

"It's called Nuclear Sharing"

Everyone knows what it's called, and thanks for the link - saves me looking it up, right divebuddy?

But divebuddy has also correctly listed the handful of NATO members who host nuclear weapons for the Americans. Not doing so is not a preclusion to membership, Canada and Greece being cases in point.

[Zacs-Master]

So is it a fact that they have to contribute 2% of GDP?
Your last sentence has me baffled too.
