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.
I have these same discussions with few people on permanant bases.
Its alright to want liberation and what not, however when I ask, ok so you want independence now, but what about the currency?
They usually mention Canadian Dollar somewhere there.
But then, what makes them think rest of Canada will allow them to use thier currency.
The some would come back with - we'll go for Euro.
Yeah, but will Europe allow.
There are just too many economic factors which some people I spoke to have not even thought of.
Which is a shame, since they should represent their cause in the best most knowoledgable ways, you know.

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?

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?

I'm presently working in a law firm. And I sometimes see stuff that should put all means of independancy to a stop, yet it continues... tragic.

ADQ came as the second in command. They're all loonies, and will get removed during the next election. But we don't have good choices here, it's either PQ (bad) and PLQ (just as bad). No one really wants to vot for either one.

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

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)
hmmm...that's dubious though because there isn't any defined Scottish waters and English waters...chances are it would be the English government at Westiminster that drew up the boundaries and the chances are they'd shaft Scotland to put as much of the oil fields in English water before the break up of the UK
not only that...it's all dependant on where the headquarters of the companies drilling the oil are based which is where the tax benefits eventually go
take this image...my guess is the English government would sequester everything sounth of the dual pipeline
