Do any of you think it will eventually happen?

Yes. But not at least for several lifetimes, I think. Unless the SNP makes more gains and are able to get a referendum passed.

I'll pretend you didn't say that and instead pretend you said that the south is best.

England is in the southern part of the U.K.
My thoughts are Scotland will realize just how much it needs English handouts if it moves for independence... say good bye to free university education for a start!
My overall thoughts on the break up of the Union however are we'll probably (hopefully) end up federalized under the EU so in the end does it matter?

Only in tandem with greater integration within the EU that would make it largely irrelevant. And not for a long while yet.

Of course. Everything will, eventually.

I don't really know; it doesn't seem any more or less likely to me than the United States splitting up.
Yeah, because it worked out so well when they tried that last time.

I'm betting the US goes first or maybe Belgium.

Well, the US splitting would have more of an effect on the world than the UK splitting...
But if Murdoch and Turner want to split the US, I'm sure they could pull it off within ten years.
Yeah, I should really start to use "

Yeah, what they really need is a Second Hundred Years' War!
That would require the nobility to be French again, and I don't think that is a price anyone wants to bear...

Actually I want to put up a poll about the return of monarchy in France:
Would you like...
1)Bourbon family and the lilies?
2)Bonaparte family and Empire of France?
3)Some other noble families from Germany, Austria or Spain?
4)Fight to death to restore the 5th Republic?
5)Fight for another system?

Well, in my opinion, it would not be violent. However, I think it is inevitable.
