Mark Millar trails behind Morrison again as he's awarded an MBE

If independence was achieved would they retain Her Maj as head of state (could they, would they?)

Presumably, if Scotland stayed in the Commonwealth, they could retain the Queen as figurative head of state while exercising complete political independence.

Right you are too. A tiny bit of effort on my part get exactly that answer as their official policy.

I also don't really care......I mean, it's not going to affect me in any way whatsoever.....BUT....I'm with The Cosh   on this one and will also say that I'm disappointed when people I admire,  for their usually anti-establishment views,  'cow down' and tug the forelock in order to get a 'shiny bauble'......

The link shows some of the obvious 'establishment lackies' / contenders,  and a couple of surprises.....Worth a listen anyway....

Came to say this, saw you'd found it out. I'm far more anti-monarchy (a lot) than I am pro-independence (not very much at all) so I'm not sure where this leaves me.

Yep, got to agree with The Cosh again...  Not 'stalking' you mate, honestly...
I'm also ( very ) anti monarchy,  and ( eventually ) pro independence,  but I don't think we ( as a Nation ), are quite ready yet.....
And if the ( mostly ) 'bunch of tubes' we have in Hollyrood are the 'best' we have at the moment,  I think we should wait for quite a few more years.......

Goes off muttering about 'self serving' politicians of all stripes and dishonest practices of our 'elected' representatives...
