If Scotland goes independent...will the UK lose its seat on the UN Security Council?(For those who don't know (and I bet there are a few) the UK is made up of Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales, so if Scotland left the UK would still be there and it would not just become England.)
Better question is, would Germany get the seat in that case, cause it quite ****ing deserves it.
Because even the SNP has said it would take years to fully transition to an independent state.

There isn't a concrete reason for them to get kicked off of the Security Council, and it really isn't an issue since Scottish independence is a goal a long time away.
I would be inclined to agree with you, however I can't help but feel that it could come sooner than anyone expects.

From what I've read so far about Scotland and Whales, it wouldn't be at the advantage to declare independance. Stop me if I'm wrong.
But it's a subject I'm inclined to know more of. So if some of you could send me links or explain what there is to gain or to lose, I'd be very much interested.

It is Wales, not Whales- the later is a mammal which swims in the sea.
Also, Wales isn't likely to declare independence...ever.
The advantage is umm...well...we could...eerrr...OIL!
(Yes indeed, I suspect it would make very little difference but...well when anyone asks the SNP just shout Oil, as the vast majority of the UKs Oil belongs to Scotland)

Thank God noone in Wales can use a computer...or they would be getting pretty upset at this!
😆 I'm sorry. Well, can't blame someone from the other side of the ocean to know in depths UK's problems. Although, thank to you, I no longer confound Wales with a, as an example, sperm whale.
On a more serious tone, why is Wale made fun of that much over there?

Because they are a principality not a country.

But isn't Scotland and Ireland too? We don't laugh at them in Canada. But Wales... I mean it's just ridiculous.
England is a country, Ireland is a country and England is a country.
Northern Ireland is more of a province but its still part of a country.
Wales is at the bottom of the pile as its a principality...
In order of precedence I would say it went.
England
Scotland
N.Ireland
Wales

I see. Do you have any links that goes in the depths of the political problem there? It piked my curiosity.
And also, I've heard, there is alot of criminality in Scotland. Stabbing is as such. Should I be careful for my trip there in 2 years?

A lot don't know the differance between United Kingdom and Great Britain, as well. Just. Wrong.

Here in Quebec, we face such a situation. Allmost 50% wants independance from Canada, that I bloody hell hope we won't have, for shit would probably start happening.
I think people are getting less bothered now, than lets say, few decades ago. Sure a lot want indepednence, but there is a lot of immigration *ahem*, and as far as I understand a lot of immigrants are indifferent to Quebec's cause.

You know, except for the English Queen that comes and poison our lands once or twice a year, most Americans and Canadians (I'll take their defense even though I'm above them) couldn't even point out Ireland on the map. I think it's a shame, but what can you do?

The debate is mostly the French against everyone else. They want to get respected, and have a voice, yet most of them act and think like retards.
They want independance at all costs, no matter if we get stuck in fecal matters after.

Set up a foundation to raise geographical awareness in North America?
