Is Scotland still part of the UK? Damn, everyone else left the party decades (or centuries) ago!!

if No prevails it's a neverendum because No people are only out there because they have to. Yes people are out there trying to get support because they are firey nationalists. if it's not this year, it'll be another year
what will be interesting is the fallout in ireland. if Yes prevails, will eire be united? in wales support for independence is at 10%, even if scotland leaves, but i can imagine the UK losing control of ireland, where irish nationalists control ~40% of NI government seats. and would it light a fire back into other independence movements such as in quebec?
i hope they leave just because i find it interesting and monarchies need to end

will the name "united kingdom of great britian" be kept if scotland leaves? "united kingdom of england and wales" perhaps is okay. perhaps change to "england". wales was annexed centuries ago anyway.

OK, so what's the difference between "United Kingdom", "Great Britain" and "England"?
