Some strong words from Mr Salmon, but if he held a referendum and the Scots voted to cut all ties with the rest of the UK, would we sit back and let it take place?
Would it be classed as a civil war?
Would we send in the troops to quell the revolt?
Or perhaps we should play him at his own game and hold a referendum of our own to see if we still wanted the Scots?
Yes I agree Romaz, they should be able to hold an (advisory) referendum. But they may need Westminster's approval even for that as they have to use the Electoral Register and I believe they only have permission to use it for specified purposes (which probably do not included referendums).
I think it's all a bit academic anyway as I believe the majority of Scots would vote to remain part of the UK.
I'm not so sure, The more it appears we are not able to vote for our future the more militant we become. History shows the scots are not good at being dictated to, Cameron is playing a dangereous game which may backfire on him, and the English majority.
