| McGran said: What I find interesting is why questions over EU membership have been limited to an independant Scotland. A Scots yes vote will terminate the union between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England. When that happens there is no Great Britain anymore, and by extension there is no United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland. So in fact there are two successor states following the separation of Great Britain - Scotland and "the rest", neither of which hold EU membership. |
When a country splits, the organisation decides which is designated as the successor state. After the Communist Revolution that split China into the People's Republic and the Republic (Taiwan), the People's Republic inherited China's Security Council seat.
