No. Why sould one person in a marrage veto a divorce? One partner decides to leave and the marrage is over, it's really that simple. How should this marrage/union be enforced, tanks & English troops on the Streets of Edinburgh? Ahhh, that's why Churchhill is so popular amongst those of a 'British' persuation.
