[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 250349, member: 33"] Support for Scottish Independence is soaring so it's only a matter of time before they go there own way. The last poll is saw showed that 58% of the Scottish electorate wanted independence. Northern Ireland is now already semi-independent with a customs boarder between it and the UK mainland. Support for Welsh Independence is less strong but recently it has also been soaring from a previously low base now up to 33%. However, I think Scotland leaving the Union will have a domino effect and stimulate support for the independence movement in the other UK countries. The UK's status in the world has become diminished and you are right to raise the issue of the UK permanent membership of the UN Security Council. I can see that being challenged and the EU won't support the UK on this as Germany arguably have a stronger claim to it. India as you suggest, or an African nation, could also justifiably want that seat and without EU support I can see the UK losing it. I still can see a single benefit of the UK leaving the EU tomorrow. Even the Prime Minister's father knows it's a crock and has applied for French nationality so he can retain the benefits of being an EU citizen. [/QUOTE]
