Not usre if I've said this already, but I really hope it is a YES vote, as it'd be brilliant to see how thigns poan out, and turning down an opportunity would be silly.

Like saying you're a big fan of 'Nearer my god to thee' so you'll take the next lifeboat.

I think I'd rather know than think "What if?". Even if it is a misguided disaster of epic proportions.

Which is a fine attitude to have if you don't live here. Let those funny Scots vote Yes and if it all goes to shit that will be quite the source of amusement.

Except if you live here, and have at least half a brain, generally you'd like to not see that happen.

I'm concerned about what it might mean for those of us in England, Wales, Cornwall, and Northern Ireland too.

Cornwall is part of England, unless you want to start campaigning for independence too?

I think a YES vote would further the cause for Cornwall, so I'm quite happy with that.

The biggest cognitive dissonance that I can see here is that most people I've spoken to or read articles by seem to be pro-leaving the UK, but anti-leaving the EU. That just doesn't make any sense to me.

I really don't think it would. Scotland is a separate geopolitical nation state to England. Cornwall is a modern English county that happens to also be a historical Celtic nation.

it could be very useful to grow autonomy in Cornwall.

In what way?

Because one can leanr from Scotland about hot to go about things and what works and what doesn't and the best way to do stuff.

-edit- by which I mean, how is it any different these days from Somerset, or Devon, or Dorset? Apart from being a historical Celtic nation. Heritage is great, but Cornwall is not fundamentally different to any of its nearest neighbours in the modern UK, and I can't see how running it any differently would be to anyone's benefit.

Utter cobblers, Mali. Cornwall is only different from Devon or Somerset in being more reliant on tourism and having a loud bunch of nutters with some bizarrely ill informed chips on their shoulders. It's pretty much a monoculture with the rest of the southwest.

That's Anglo Centric Xenophobia jackbooting down the Champs Elysses of my cultural identity is that.

YOU'RE NOT FROM CORNWALL MALI

Sorry man. I've over indulged on the 1er Chablis, seemed funny at the time. Normal service resumed tomorrow .

I remain unconvinced it would be in the interests of the Scottish people. Yes, I'm prejudiced, but only as I struggle to convincingly argue the secessionist line to myself.

I saw a map the other day that said that Wales used to be called North Wales and Cornwall was West Wales. Does that mean Mali is Welsh?

You don't think something's a good idea...because you can't convince yourself it's a good idea? Or...something? I'm genuinely interested in what you think about all this but unless I'm being really dim that last post didn't make any kind of sense.
