Scotland Will Vote For Its Independence From UK In 2014




           Scottish Government intends to hold a referendum of the Scottish electorate on the issue of independence from the United Kingdom in the autumn of 2014. The sovereign constitutional monarchy of "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" consists of four Countries, three Crown Dependencies and Fourteen Oversea territories. Four politically significant countries are England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface is now struggling to save its own home land i.e., island of Great Britain (England & Scotland make the major entity of the island). Once sovereign, Kingdom of Scotland signed Treaty of Union in 1706 with The Kingdom of Britain despite widespread protest across Scotland. In 1707 Scotland entered into an incorporating political union with England to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Many Scot nationalists feels, Scotland can better survive if it attends independence from UK, as they feel the major part of the UK's budget get diverted to England. But the rest who don't support Scotland's independence says, Scotland will not get much of the global attention that it enjoys while within the Union with a superpower.

                Government of UK is trying its level best to postpone the proposed 2014 referendum, as they fears that if Scotland leaves the union to form a sovereign state then they may lose the Permanent seat in United Nations Security Council and may lose their influential status in the decision making in groups like European Union & NATO. PM Cameron is now in an official visit to Scotland, there he convincing the political leadership to make the union intact, he is also hold talks with The First Minister of Devolved Government of Scotland. His arrival was interrupted by a group of protesters, though he is not ready to lose hope. PM Cameron announced a number of investment proposals & jobs generating schemes to retain the confidence of Common Scottish population, he also said that his government in London wants to empower Scotland's devolved Government to a semi-autonomous status.
