[CharlesHarris]

Interesting. Devolving large states into independent smaller polities seems to have some momentum. A sign of frustration or an emerging western trend?

the devolved nations -Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland are all tied into England's purse strings, if they were to go independent they would lose a lot of financial backing.
+ the majority of the population of the UK lives in England so if the UK voted as a whole on independence for these nations the vote would be skewed towards whatever the English opinion was at the time, for or against.
