Scotland is in a union with england, wales and northern ireland. Scotland joined the union primarily for economic reasons. Home rule is an expression we use to describe Scotland's movement towards independence. We'll see if scottish people feel like they were forced into the union in the first place by giving up some sovereignty or making decisions that are not their own. I'd like to know your opinion. What do you think? Should scotland become an independent country? Yes or no. Maybe you can give a quick reason i as well.
On 18th September the people of Scotland will vote in a referendum to decide if Scotland should remain a part of the UK or become independent. If they vote "yes" and Scotland does become independent from the UK it would cause massive changes to the way the UK is organised. It would be the biggest change in UK history for hundreds of years. It could change everything - not only the lives of the Scottish people, but also the lives of the English, the Welsh and the people of Northern Ireland. In short - this is a massive story for the UK. Let's look at the background, the arguments for & against, and the possible outcomes of independence. Click here for notes and transcriptions:
