Survival of the United Kingdom
- The Scottish issue
As the BrExit issue seems closer than ever before, the sovereignty of the UK, in the old sense, is no more of practical reality in a complex and inter-dependent world.
Neither the Scottish independence referendum of 2014 nor the Brexit referendum of 2016 could have brought back the old nation-state.
Whatever happens, Scotland, remains a nation, a distinct society and increasingly a self-governing community. It remains without a state because statehood itself no longer means what it once did but its future is unknown.
