The question I pose is, what benefits to England does the union bring? What is its value and how is that value measured? If Scotland left the union, am I like likey to have to pay more tax to plug the gap left by not having the Scottish taxpayer subsidising England, or would I get a tax cut by not having to subsidise Scotland Wales and NI any longer?
England would have a small oil and gas industry, Royal Navy ships built in England which would lead to the development of hi-tec industries, the same would apply to the nuclear sub force, the reduction of politicians in Westminster, DVLA with its 5,000 jobs would move to England, as would the Royal Mint, we would be out of the EU, no more Barnett and an end to the WLQ. The revivial of England as a nation state, not just in political terms, but in terms of Englishness. These are just a few things that England would gain as an independent state.
