Art...Scotland is free!As are England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They form a federation of States like the States in the US.Home rule is a different matter. If Scotland votes for home rule and its own Parliament it can have it. Many English, Welsh and Northern Irish have no objections as long as Scotland then pays the full costs of its schools, hospitals, roads, defence,etc currently subsidised from general taxation of all Uk citizens, as you would expect Texas to do if it left the Union.Or as many Canadians would expect if Quebec left Canada.And Quebec is "free".
