Out of the ashes of the British Empire...

Once Scotland becomes independent and adopts a new socialist form of government, will Scotland finally unite with Ireland, solving the longstanding dispute and forming a Celtic challenger to what was the UK?

What's wrong Gig, I thought you were for Scottish independence :) Joining with Ireland is the natural progression, or do you have something against the Irish?

I am all for Scottish independence (if that's what the majority decide). But, joining with Ireland will be 'out of the frying pan into the fire'.

I also want Ireland to be decolonised completely (as should Cyprus be) and to regain full sovereign control over all its landmass and borders.

Scotland and Ireland can then form alliances through shared cultural and ethnic similarities (although these are fewer than those of Cyprus and Greece). They will be united under the EU as their ties with the EU are stronger than those of the English.

England has the Commonwealth - but, it is crippling its mentality ....

It won't happen.

Firstly Scotland won't separate from the UK.

And if it did (unlikely), I seriously doubt they will surrender to the EU. They will lose complete control of everything much like Greece has.

And, Ireland and Scotland are more likely to kill each other rather than form an alliance. There is absolutely nothing in common there, outside of Northern Ireland but even that is unlikely.
