Thread: Should Scotland be forced to take Northern Ireland with it?

Is it not an attempt for the EU to break up the UK?
If they break up the UK then it would be easier to put the stranglehold on each individual country?
Would then Scotland be the first to move further to the EU and lose its strength and finance, Scotland should thing strongly what it loses.
Would they lose their seats within English Parliament, would Scotland lose what they looked to gain?

You mean like instead of the UK being the 3rd biggest country in the EU behind Germany and France, we would have England at 4th behind Germany, France and Italy? Not really sure how that's making things easier for them...

If Scotland move further away from the UK, then would they move further towards the EU, if so, then would the EU drain the resources of Scotland?
Is Scotland the only country with free university fees and free health care for the old and other add ons.
Would Scotland be better off, or would we see a greater influx of immigration, and more taxes, would Scotland become deeper embroilled in a system that is not working, or would they try to hold onto the independence if they want it?
