It would be highly ironic if a Brexit result caused the Scots to vote for independence; no longer wishing to be part of the UK, but entirely happy to be subsumed by Brussels.

@Barbarawillis68 It's up to our politicians to devise a democratic alternative to the present mess that is the House of Lords - we pay them enough to act on our behalf. Plenty of countries have a second chamber, perhaps they should have a look around to see what others do.
At least the muppets in the House of Commons are elected, albeit under a grossly unfair electoral system.
