Why should a referendum on independence be held immediately when studying in Scotland?

To understand why Scotland will hold a referendum on independence soon, we only need to listen to what the English people say about the 307-year-old United Kingdom of Great Britain. The mainstream view of the English people is that Scottish independence will decline. Instead of seeking independence, Scotland should be grateful to England for its endless generosity. Just over seven months before the referendum that may lead to the split of Britain, polls show that most Scots may choose a safer "stay in Europe". Overall data show that only one third of Scots are determined to vote for independence. However, further investigation found that about 40% of the respondents who indicated that they would definitely participate in the referendum supported independence, and the trend of public opinion was increasingly favorable to Scottish nationalists.

From the perspective of Edinburgh or Glasgow, it is not difficult to understand why Alex talks about Scottish independence in London. Alex Salmond (SNP leader and chief minister of Scotland) still hopes to lead Scotland to independence.

From the left-leaning Labour Party to the right-leaning Conservative Party, the self-styled "Unity Party" in England is saying the same outrageous words: if it leaves the United Kingdom, Scotland will be a poor country of no importance in the future.

The British Treasury, which pioneered this view, conducted a series of so-called objective studies and concluded that independence would destroy the Scottish economy. Scotland will be forced to cut public spending and raise taxes in order to make up for the lost transfer payments from the British government. The financial services industry will flee to the south in panic.

The competitiveness and efficiency of the Scottish economy will decline, leading to a decline in people's living standards and investment enthusiasm. If the Scots don't understand this meaning, then the rest of Britain may reject the idea of monetary union promised by Salmond.

The British Ministry of Defence also warned that in this increasingly dangerous world, independent Scotland would not be defended by it. The British Foreign Office declared that other EU countries would definitely delay or even obstruct Scotland's accession to the EU. Even the Bank of England (BoE) Canadian Governor Mark? Mark carney went north to warn Scots that if they want to continue to use the pound after independence, they must surrender their fiscal policy autonomy.

Most of these views have some truth. As a heavyweight in British politics, Salmond is the most successful "retail politician" in Britain.

He is good at speaking and full of energy, but he doesn't pay much attention to important details. He doesn't worry about those contradictions at all. In the face of complex issues, such as banking union, he will shrug his shoulders and say, "Trust me ... we will definitely solve all those things after the referendum".

The English tried their best to scare the Scots into voting against it, but Salmond's optimism was more attractive. The Scottish National Party has abandoned the narrow anti-English nationalism, and now its proposition is more inclusive, which is to make Scotland an open small European country. This nationalism does not require Scotland to break away from England, but advocates that Scotland and England become two equal and friendly neighbors.

Many Scots must have noticed this, which is in sharp contrast with England, which is moving towards self-isolation, and the moral panic brought by immigrants hangs over this country, with endless austerity policies.

Besides, if David? David Cameron's Conservative Party gets its wish, and Britain is likely to leave the European Union, so that it will no longer interfere in external affairs. Today, this England sometimes regards itself as a benefactor of Scotland, and sometimes it is glad that it has the opportunity to get rid of this burden.

In England, the support rate of the Conservative Party is increasing, while in Scotland, social democracy is the mainstream of politics. The Scottish National Party hopes to attract more outstanding international students and skilled immigrants, and the British government is planning to keep these people out of the country. Salmond smelled opportunity in Europe, and the British smelled conspiracy there.
