Could someone do a mock-up of a Union Jack that just has St. George and St. Patrick? It'd be a hideous, hideous flag.
(only one I found on Google)
Oh, honestly. Is it really that hard to edit
a Wikipedia flag?Still a foreigner, but I have different reasons for supporting independence than most:
Symbolically, it's karmic retribution for an English nation that has pillaged other nations for centuries.
Practically, independence will allow Scotland to govern without any of Westminster's jingoistic rallying. The big selling point is that independent Scotland could join the Euro and contribute more to the EU than it would ever have under the UK. The EU gains a net fuel producer and Scotland's infrastructure fund grows. But it also forces the UK's hand, having to trade with the EU in order to fuel the country. Britannia finally will be forced out of her shell.
I guess more liberal-minded supporters could argue that Scotland will be free to develop a services-based/high-tech economy when independent. Not having to subsidize other English regions is a plus,
but, as a Canadian, I don't find that argument compelling.I support NI republicans and Welsh independence for the same reasons, but Scotland is the only viable nation at this time.
