^^As an Australian koala, you are also a subject of the British empire.

Wrong!

Australia is a sovereign Monarch since 1901!

As if Britain is still an empire.

Well, when you think about it and if you include the Dominions just like you did earlier, then you can classify them as still having an Empire, and a rather very large and powerful empire I might add.

It would be funny if they lose Scotland then. Seriously have you ever been to Londonistan? They have more mosques than Mecca...

They will never lose Scotland no matter what the result.

Can't you see this?

The unbiased economic profiles suggest Scotland would have been as wealthy as Norway if England hadn't used up their North Sea Gas and Oil supplies.

Of course now that those are so severely depleted, England recognizes Scotland's other huge resource and that is education and scientific acumen. So of course, England wants to hang on and continue to squeeze Scots.

And that contains a bitter lesson for Cyprus to learn ...

I think the UK has been remarkably very good about this.

They allow the Scots to have their say without any interference. There are not many countries in the world that will allow this to occur and in total peace and harmony.

Who are "they"? The English?

good point, in a Federalised Britain, for there to be the Union Jack to fly higher, it would be necessary for an English Constituency, an equal to the others (in power), to exist as well.

as i've asked before, there exists a Republic, and there is a Turkish Constituency, where is (are) its equal, other Cypriot Constituencies?

The UK as a whole, not just the English.

UK, Greece and Turkey wanted to divide Cyprus way back, but guess what, looks like in time, the UK and Turkey will be divided instead.

Yes, very ironic that the British legacy of divided states should come back and haunt them. Personally, I hope that the Scots go for it and they cut themselves free of the corrupt and moribund British state.

Whatever the outcome, the shock to the British system has been so profound and the resentment so great that a split is inevitable in future as the UK looks incapable of reforming itself.

Might I suggest they try a Bizonal Bicommunal Federation? Maybe Lord Hannay is looking for a job?

So you are imagining that there is this thing called "trnc" which is now part of RoC but that it will leave in the future? Scotland is something real that existed for centuries and the Scottish people are a native population. The "trnc" is just a label that the Turks give to the land that they illegally occupy and which doesn't belong to them.

True. The only parallel would be if Scotland had invaded the north of England and ethnically cleansed the local population then sent in troops and colonists and declared the Scottish Republic of Northern England which it then tried to get recognised throughout the world as an independent state! Only for the whole world to laugh at them!

It's lamentable that some Turkish Cypriots could actually think that a real nation like Scotland with a real history and culture has anything in common with a stupid joke like the 'trnc'.

Your posts show your complete arrogance.

the referendum shows that the Brits are willing to go a step further and have a "2 State Solution".

Also, they did not divide any states. The States do it to themselves. that is what happened in Cyprus right? We divided the island when we asked for ENOSIS?

you can't blame the Brits for stupidity now can you? You might have had the right, but it wasn't very bright. you admit this right?
