Quite simple. If it's a Yes vote the British must accept this, and make provisions to leave via a declaration of intent to withdraw, and a date, as they did in Hong Kong.
If the majority of the island vote No, I too will accept this, and emigrate to Mexico or as far and exotic as possible, but there must be no British interference in the referendum.
The British left Hong Kong, despite the majority of those living in Hong Kong wishing to keep the Union incidentally. |
Your outcome is predicated on the British (and by that I include the 6 county British) agreeing to such a referendum in the first place. In circumstances where they are stridently opposed to such a referendum how do you advocate bringing about a UI?
BTW I am not trying to be difficult for the sake of it, it is just that you are a person who is opposed to the current SF strategy and is willing to discuss alternatives rather than shout slogans.
