Maybe a political leaning on this post, but do we HAVE to be lumped into a "United Kingdom" section on Expatica?
Surely, we CAN rise above that and show our independence from the tyranical government of Westminster and be "free" of English subversion and rule here?

I am curious. Is Scotland also going seek indepedency from London? You know, it is a trend, now. If so will it be republic or kingdom (principate, sultanat, emirate, dominion or you are going to have a chief or something completeley new and different)?
In addition - will it be member of Comminwealth? What about North Sea Oil & Gas properties? How are they going to be split with whatever would be left from UK?
I am just seeking opinions.
