This may be wrong but I just looked up that there are 59 parliamentary seats in Scotland.
If they now have 55 how is this not now an independent country as pre-1707.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Yep 59 seats in Scotland and the SNP have secured 48 of them. Our politics dept predicted 48, so we got that right. The figure may push up to 49 if a suspended candidate is readmitted.
I'm going to miss being British, but maybe I'll apply for Scottish citizenship when the SNP win Indyref 3 (Indyref 2 happened in 2014).
Personally I no longer identify as English...

Do you think Scotland will leave and become independent? How will that affect Britain?

Approval for a second referendum on independence has to be given by the Westminster govt and they don't seem inclined to do so.
We could declare UDI but that didn't work out too well for Ian Smith all those years ago in Rhodesia.
@Moravian It’s inevitable that he will have to allow it...that would be completely undemocratic as the Scottish Parliament has already passed a vote to have another Indy Ref. That is a mandate from the Scottish people, as well as this result today...it will become unsustainable for Johnston to deny that democratic right.
Not only Scotland. It is entirely possible that Northern Ireland will join the Republic in order to stay in the EU.
