Freedom! Scots Petition for Devolution and Possible Independence

Scotland just wants to be free.

See what we found: Here is a petition you can sign, if eligible, to promote the independence of Scotland from Great Britain. "Devolution" is the term for the events in 1999 that provided for Scotland to have its own parliament, but the move continues for more independence than that. See www.petitiononline.com/scots1/petition. William Wallace would be pleased.

More on the News: www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/13663. Just go to the dot com home page and navigate from there. Dateline was 11/3/06 - Majority in Scotland wants independence. Here is an accounting of some of the problems: www.hfienberg.com/scots/490independence.

Longevity of the idea: With the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, and wars after, this idea clearly has legs. www.tartanday.gov.uk/arbroath. See the William Wallace and Robert the Bruce posts here.
