Great Britain: Would you regret it if it broke up into 4 states?

Question

It seems that this would be a terrible thing: instead of being one moderately powerful states, we should be 4 insiginificant ones...

What do you think?

The fourth: Northern Ireland.

Answer 1

If it means we can enjoy the next football world cup without having to hear about England winning it 40 odd years ago I'm happy to go independant. I'd gladly pay higher taxes for that.

Answer 2

Well even though it's one country really it's already split into states... England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.... All have different opinions on how things should be, does it really matter, no matter what you think the government will change and it'll be what it'll be....

I left the UK over 3 years ago due to the way the country was becoming.... It's not the country it used to be and will change for the worse I think in time... So many people are living the country and I feel if you can get out get out now before it's too late....

I live now in New Zealand and it's like the UK was 20 years ago, very safe for the kids to live, much much better lifestyle and very family orientated.... I feel looking back at my life in the UK I wouldn't swap what i ahve now to go back to that grim life....

No matter which country you live in the government will always chose what it feels is right for the country and no matter what the public thinks they'll go ahead or not with what they feel might benefit the country.... Whether it works or not.... I think dividing the country into 4 is going to be devistating to the United Kingdom or Great Britain whatever you want to call it.... One governing Power is better than 4 governing powers, however Scotland, Wales and Ireland are countries by themselves and therefore have there own governments at the moment so what really would be different.... Could mean No monetary support from the British Government and meaning less money for things in their own province, meaning people would leave to seek employment elsewhere due to cost of living etc in other areas.... Could those areas really cope with the influx or decrease and survive.... How long would it really last before going back to one instead of 4.... Would the others turn there backs on the others and say you've made your bed so therefore lay in it....

The UK will end up with those that can't afford to leave the country and seek life elsewhere, NZ and OZ only take in a certain amount of people and have a very hard emigration process to qualify to get into the country... The UK left there's a little too late letting in so many people and not screening them first.... Too many people and not enough to go around....

Answer 3

Great Britain is already made up of 3 countries.

England, Scotland and Wales....what do you want a fourth one to be?
Split England into Northern England and Southern England?




Edited to point out to the confused people: Great Britain is the large island which comprises England, Scotland and Wales.

Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. Northern Ireland is part of a separate island which comprises Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

All you thumbs down divs, go and learn some geography!!

Answer 4

I think splitting us up would make us a weaker country. But if Scotland, Wales and Ireland want to go their separate ways let em. But we'll have our 30billion pounds of subsidy back we give to the Scottish every year. And I think there should be border controls and passport and visa requirements when they want to come here and steal our jobs and women.

If fact if they get independence we should cut a sea channel between us and Wales and Scotland, that would keep the buggers out.

Little know fact though is that on current birth rates the Scottish will die out in 200years, so we could wait for that and then just take over (again).

Answer 5

Yes it would be SHAME to see, But the way things are going with the sanctimonious shallow bitter little minded blinkered PRO-EUROPEANS willing to SELL us all out for their own idealistic piece of utopia, in a Supper state that will NEVER EVER listen to it's own people because they've got there heads so far up their own backsides they can't hear.

Just look & see, small insignificant countries like Spain, they get three Billon every year without question.
So when we are SOLD out by the likes of Mr Blair & co we need to spit & then suck the life blood out of France & Germany, and get ready for yet another WAR, as the peoples of Europe start to hate each other even more.

Answer 6

1) England didn't invade Scotland, the crowns were united under James Vi of Scotland.

2) The Scottish Parliament voted for the Act of Union.

3) The six counties ARE free. The whole point of the Irish war was that Ulster wanted the freedom not to be part of the Republic. Lets have a referendum and see who wins!

Answer 7

No. the fact that we would not have to put up with Teflon Tony or Robber Brown would be a great advantage, also the majority in England are all for leaving the Brussels junta. Great idea give us an independent English parliament.

Answer 8

I think you are correct. If we look back in history we find that what is now the United Kingdom was once divided into numerous separate kingdoms with their own rulers. These rulers (kings) were constantly at war with each other and the whole country was always in a state of civil war . If we were to go back to that state of affairs I feel sure that the majority of citizens would agree that it was a retrograde step.

Answer 9

As soon as Tony Blair made devolution part of his 97 manifesto the Union was doomed. None of the devolved powers given to scotland in 97 will ever be taken back, There will inevitably be more power devolved to the Scottish Parliament which must eventually result in the break up of the Union.

The sooner that happens the better for Scotland.
