[QUOTE="William18, post: 672366, member: 38439"] But Scotland already has their own identity. Scotland has international sporting teams and a distinct culture from the rest of the UK. Catalonia has had its identity suppressed by the central government but Scottish identity has been encouraged. Scotland is already a country; it just isn't an independent country. "No" voters are proud to be Scottish but many of them are also proud to be British. With Ireland things are a bit different. The Scottish however chose to join England in an act of Union. It's not like the English conquered Scotland and raped its women. Scotland could have chosen at any point in the last 100 years to be independent. They just haven't wanted to until this point. I'm surprised to see such a strong critique of the EU from the left. Is this opinion that the EU promotes inequality common? [/QUOTE]
