So Have The DUP And Theresa May Created Conditions For Scottish And Welsh Independence?

Hello there. Hope you're feeling well today.

So what did the first bit of the Brexit agreement showed? Well the EU side were professional and the UK government are just a bunch of amateurs. We now know exactly what the tactics Theresa May uses. Talk tough and then give in.

And as for the forthcoming trade talks? The way things are going the only thing the Tories will be able to trade with the EU are insults (and then giving in).

But for the purposes of this post let's focus on one thing here which is Ireland (both North and the Republic). For the first agreement allows those in Northern Ireland to have the same rights as any other EU citizen even after Brexit. 

Let us assume for the sake of argument that Brexit proves to be an unmitigated disaster. What then for the United Kingdom? For Northern Ireland the answer is strategically simple. Should the majority wish they would just become part of the Republic hence part of the EU and that was it. Job done.

Ah you will say what about the Protestants? Well if Brexit is the disaster then enough of them too would want their families to be economically secure. If the UK can't provide it then the EU would do a better job.

So then how does this help Scotland and Wales? Because people will see a country leaving the UK and not suffering in the process. Even if it meant doing the sort of deal Norway or Turkey does people will see that it can be done. What Brexit has shown is the lack of analysis and it seems care for the effect it will have in Scotland/Wales. It would appear that London, and to be specific the City Of London holds more of an influence.

What Westminster has done for Scotland and Wales is to turn England into an abusive partner in a relationship. Should Brexit turn out to be disastrous mistake then its power and authority vanishes, It means that independence would become an attractive option to the majority of the Scottish and Welsh people.

I have said before that a Brexit failure could be an opening to Welsh independence. I've also said that I don't want it to happen like this because of the misery a Brexit failure it will cause to families living in Wales. But it has to be said that the above might happen. And it would be an irony if nationalists should thank the DUP and the British Conservative Party for making it happen.

Until the next time.
