Is independence really a good idea for Scotland?
Scotland is weighing the benefits and disadvantages of becoming an independent state from the United Kingdom, because it is not an easy to decision to make. Independence for the Scots can be more harmful than beneficial, looking at it from an objective point of view. Let us take a look at what those consequences might be.
We have noticed that London is kind of threatening Edinburgh with the disadvantages of losing membership of the European Union. Ukrainians have also faced similar threats of financial instability if they join certain treaties. Some say that if they do not choose the EU, and go to the CU, then the grease is in the fire, others state the opposite, arguing that only in the Customs Union with Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan, The Ukraine will have a great future, but the entry into the European Union will result in a disaster. Consequently, London predicts severe consequences to Edinburgh in case of acquisition of independence.
The minister foreign affairs admitted that the U.K. benefits from Scotland if it stays in the Kingdom, but the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs highlighted that Scotland gets huge dividends from membership in the United Kingdom. Once out of the United Kingdom, Scotland will be outside of all the organizations of which it is in today as part of the United Kingdom.
Another interesting and important issue that has been raised by the English is the fact that the separation of Scotland from the Kingdom can pose a threat to the national security of the United Kingdom. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, Theresa May says that Scotland doesn't have an army or security agencies. After leaving the UK Scotland would be defenseless to external threats and machinations of enemies, including espionage and terrorism, highlights the Secretary of State for Home Affairs.
We have seen that nothing has really changed in the comments by the English officials, say the political news experts at Masterforex-V Academy. The fact that Scotland will be outside the EU after leaving the UK, has always been known. By the way, this fact is one of the most powerful constraints for the Scots thirsty for independence, as well as the Catalans craving for freedom from Spain. Catalonia wants to secede from Spain, but they will immediately be out of the European Union, outside the Schengen area, and outside the single currency, euro. This scares many Catalans, so the idea of ??independence in Catalonia is not as actively supported as before.
Not everyone makes the cut to become part of the European Union, due to the fact that it is not an easy task. Scotland will have to go through a lengthy process that may take years to complete. It is necessary to obtain the consent of all members of the EU, and there are no guarantees that London won't begin to "put spokes in their wheels" after such steps.
The voting on the referendum has been scheduled for next year. If the Scots support the idea, the mechanism of separations will start, and by 2016 the secession could be finished completely. Currently, Scotland is the most autonomous region of the UK, having its own parliament and laws, its church and even with its own currency (Scottish pound). But still being conscious of the fact that Scotland is dependent on England haunts the mind of many Scots. In the middle Ages, the Scots and the English wage many bloody wars on each other, and eventually Scotland ceased to be independent.
London has to do a lot to win the hearts of the Scots if they don't want them to vote for independence next year. This is why they are planning a package of concessions for Scots. But the most effective deterrent according to Masterforex-V World Academy http://www.masterforex-v.com is the fear of not being able to make it alone. Besides, according to the polls, the referendum has little chances of passing.
