Isn't Scotland over-represented at Westminster? If seats represented population percentage shouldn't you have only about 7.5% or Parliament's votes? And you've got your own Parliament. And Scottish MP's do a fair job of deriding the English too .... Isn't Scotland miles better off than the north of England?

Do you really think if Sinn Fein had the opportunity to line up 50-odd MPs in the enemy Parliament they'd be turning it down? They'd be in there causing havoc. They sit outside dying quietly for what they believe, because there'd only ever would be two or three of them and they'd never be heard. Absence is their voice.

Scotland can either believe the English are the enemy and their oppressors, in which case Scots shouldn't moan whatever reaction they get from English Tories, or they can work to improve their lot within the UK. You can't both accuse the English of being shite and expect the English to hang on your every word. (Ask the EU about having cakes and eating them!)

Get on with disrupting our shyster Parliament, don't walk away when its taken you hundreds of years to achieve this much. Surely that would be the most stupid decision since you sold yourselves to us in the first place.

You want self-determination? You want to be a nation? In an overcrowded Parliament your absence won't even be noticed. Sit there with gags on, stand up and speak in Gaelic, anything but slinking away with your tails between your legs. And to be honest you'd also be letting down a lot of the voiceless English who could no longer attract even you to the justice of their cause.
