so let me tell you the difference: Scotland was an Independent united country and a kingdom neither of which Ireland was.
There is no valid excuse to deny Scotland its right to return to Independent status if its people collectively so wish it. Moreover if you recognise the will of the people of Ireland to not be subject to the dominion of Westminster, then you must also recognise the people of Scotland have if anything a greater historical claim on their side in that regard. Anything else is mere hypocrisy.

Ah well, I'm sure you'll meet your new "allies" when you are bussed up to Scotland to canvas. Now don't be shocked when they greet your coach with nazi salutes: they are just being friendly...
