A theoretical yes vote for Scottish independence would be followed by years of tedious negotiations to divide assets/ debts and agree a new relationship. I'm sure the UK and Scotland would arrive at a compromise and a reasonable timetable to move military equipment somewhere else in the UK. You can't play silly game politics with a nuclear arsenal.

Theres already options for britains nuclear subs scotland doesnt hold the only sub bases in the uk they just have the ones that are out the way of prying eyes as for the weapons themselves they will be moved to one of the many secret facilities already owned by the MOD in england and thats if they havent been dispearsed and stored in muptiple facilities already with the increase of nuclear tensions the MOD had plans in place for this already
if we get our independence, a compromise could be leasing out the bases to england, for a sort of security fund. Though in the event of independence, i still see there being a lot of military cooperation on the island.
are you mad ?im from glasgow and that pathetic 4 subs. 3 of them in for maintenance regularly are 50km. from the city ? and i dont see any compromise ! ALBA GU BRATH
You didnt mention that Glasgow is 52.4 miles to the west of Edinburgh as the crow flies this area is known as the central belt where 70% of Scotlands population live and work. An accident or indeed an attack would wipe most of them out and turn the central belt into a waste land for years. One of the reasons given for not moving the subs to Devonport was the population of Plymouth 264,700 . But 3.5 Million Scots are an acceptable loss ?
The biggest argument against disarmament types is that there are plenty of countries that do not want to disarm and to use their nukes as a bullying tool
Costa Rica became one of the most stable south american countries by disbanding its military, which stopped fighting against neighbour countries. Thought the main reason nukes are stored in scotland is that england doesn't have such a spot which is deep enough, and also the fact that most of land in england is owned by tories and, like windturbines, they dont want such base to ruin their precious countryside.
@@damnson666 Costa Rica is not in any region threatened by a belligerent power. Well, unless if Venezuela for some strange reason wants to control the tourist industry of Central America
@@DogeickBateman Well its different situation compared to uk-ireland, but costa rica was in civil war which spread to nearby countries to "protect our people" and it became more stable country than its neighbours after abolishing its army,
Sturgeon was and is an unprincipled self-obsessed person who tried to change Scottish independence from a movement to a personality cult. How's that going now Nikla? She could have given Faslane to Westminister in exchange for independence and worried about the details later. But no she bottled everything. How about you investigate Operation Branchform?
The UK is a great country for precedent and we have been here before.... At the turn of the last century the Royal naval base at Haulbowline in Ireland was an extremely important base. If you get out a map and examine them you will find many barracks and defence points along the coast of Cork which were there to defend a massive naval base. The harbour there is like a saucer made of solid granite and thus is very easy to defend against sub attack etc.... So as part of the Anglo Irish treaty the UK were allowed to retain this and several other ports for a period up until the bid 1930s when the ports were handed over to the Irish government. I would expect any dissolution of Great Britain will follow the precedents set in the dissolution of kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. And that includes things like sharing out the national debt, the military, the use of the currency, pension and social security obligations and so on.
Interesting points. It's just that if the SNP were the ones in power in this scenario, they might either refuse or extract big concessions from the UK government in return. Perhaps they could agree on a 20-year relocation period as a compromise. That being said, Scottish independence as a whole looks less likely than it did a year ago, at least in the near term.
@@TieranFreedman As a Scot, no it does not. Scotland is not a part of a larger country, the UK is a union of three countries. The breakup of this union is inevitable, it's just a question of whether irish reunification or Scottish independence occurs first.
@@thevis5465 I'm not disagreeing with that. I think Irish unification is drawing closer, and that support for an independent Scotland will increase if that happens first. But in the near-term, with the legal setbacks for the referendum and the challenges facing the SNP in the upcoming elections, Scottish independence isn't likely to happen in the near-term (and by that I mean within the next 1-2 election cycles, as we once thought it might).
IF WESTMINSTER IS AN ENGLISH PARLIAMENT IT HAS/IS INDEPENDENT, OR AT LEAST IT WOULD BE!!! IF SCOTLAND,S RESOURCES ARE NOT STOLEN! LONELY ENGLAND SHOULD STAND ALONE!!
You got the order of Hiroshima and Nagasaki reversed - pretty big mistake to make on such an important topic. That aside, nice dive into the topic. Would be 'interesting' to watch it evolve were independence to happen, albeit somewhat worrying.
Can you answer : What currency Scotland will use, who wiĺl underwrite pensions, mortgage, insurances, debts and borrowing ? Or what will replace GB military defence and associated investments and thousands of GB linked jobs ? Or how will Scotland manage the new customs and tariff border with England and the status of Scots living and working within the British Isles after leaving the CTA ?
A very simple answer for a very simple mind; it is in the form of a question for you; "HOW DO OTHER COUNTRIES DO IT?" There! That is your answer! Your questions have already been answered a thousand times in a thousand different websites and on a thousand different documents and by a million different progressive independence commentators. Maybe if you did the simplest bit of research you'd have had no need to posit your idiot question in the first place? I strongly suspect though that you are not at all interested in the answers as you so obviously are a pro-unionist troll posting the same idiot questions on every independence related website you can find.
@@seastnanseastnan7765exactly! Same nonsense again and again. They’re like a stuck record. The answers, simple though they are, are if no interest to then. The questions are merely to sow uncertainty. Too late - they got rumbled last time they tried that.
How does every other country manage it? I'll use croatia as an example, how did they manage after 1991? Legit question. I don't know the ins and outs of all these things, but I think well how does every other country manage yet scotland would be the only country on the planet who couldn't?
@@clarksson674 yeah I know that, but how couldn't this be rectified in the event of independence? Is use croatia as an example as they're a relatively new independent country, they're shared everything you mentioned there as GB with what would of been Yugolsavia. They look to me to be a relatively successful independent country.
CORRECTION: Hiroshima was bombed first, not Nagasaki.

England could dock their tridents on the Thames at Westminster. However, Westminster would never allow Scottish independence without a fight.

In hindsight, it's a good thing that South Africa disarmed. Scotland might want to disarm for the same reason.
Minor correction: Hiroshima was atomic bombed before Nagasaki
