Who knew you could skip all of that fighting, and just have a referendum?
The real problem is that if Scotland leaves, Great Britain loses a population based seat that they only marginally hold currently within the EU administration. They would have to form a coalition with other states and share power.
Be mindful of second and third order effects. Our allies losing power will not help us in the long run.
