There is a bill currently going through the lords concerning referendums relating to constitutional / Parliamentary matters. This is the main point in it:
'''In order for a referendum on any constitutional matter to receive consent it must have the support of two thirds of those MPs who vote on it and two thirds of members of the house of lords who vote on it'''
Given the demographics of the Westminster parliament and its cross party attitudes to the union if that bill is passed it will effectively cancel in perpetuity the sovereign right of the people of Scotland to ever decide for themselves if they want to leave this 'voluntary' union of nations. And it wont matter a toss if pro referendum parties hold every Scottish Westminster seat and 100% of non list seats at Holyrood.
It shouldn't matter a damn if you are a unionist or a nationalist, if you believe that there is a country called Scotland you must agree that the people who live in it and claim it as their 'country' have the absolute and inalienable right to decide on its status and future and the choice of when and how to do that. If you allow that right to be removed and effectively ... indisputably .... placed in the hands of another country, which the passing of this bill will do, no ifs, no buts, then how the hell in all good conscience can you with a straight face claim that there is such a country as Scotland and you belong to it?
Scotlandshire ... pure and simple.
