What I am saying is that I am surprised that you would class accepting the democratic choices of whatever part of the UK as being politically correct and again I would argue that it is not unconstitutional! The UK constitution is not a single thing set in stone and is evolving all the time. Nothing can be more constitutional than democracy and of course the said articles of union were drafted prior to Britain even being a democratic state. I am not going round in circles as legally the actual termination of the union would come around at Westminster and not at Holyrood. The Scottish government if they can get it through the Holyrood parliament can hold a referendum but the result if it were a YES is theoretically not binding for the UK govt. It would simply be an expression of the will of the Scottish people. The constitution itslef is not a devolved matter. The unionist parties though seem to concede that they would bow to the democratic wishes of the people not because they are politically correct but because they know full well that any union is only worth saving (or in practise could be saved) if it has the support of the people involved.
