SHOULD the people of Scotland decide to vote for independence, next month, what happens if Alex Salmond and his SNP then lose their majority at the General Election in 2015?

By which time, the other main political parties would have confirmed what really will happen after full separation.

Have our British Territories been consulted? Will they want to be linked still to the UK?

Will Commonwealth countries such as Australia and New Zealand still display our Union flag? Will they then take the opportunity to no longer recognise our royal family, as their monarchy?

As regards to the Union flag, why would we need to redesign that? It is red/white/blue and established. It is for Scotland to no longer fly it. Not us!

What we should be doing here is to encourage Ireland back to the UK. Then combined we would be the largest member of the EU. And then we could take charge of that.

We should be expanding, not shrinking!

As for David Cameron, if he loses us Scotland, and our membership of the European Union, he will be more hated than even Tony Blair. And that is hard to accept.

Neither of them seem to ever consider the consequences for our country, instead just their own political party.

In the meantime, do elect as many Liberal Democrats as possible to ensure the Conservative, Labour and indeed the SNP, do NOT have an overall majority anywhere within the present United Kingdom/Great Britain.
