Everyone I spoke with over there stated that they intend to continue with
Her Majesty as their Queen.  They would continue as members of the
Commonwealth, and nobody seems to have any problems with the present
monarchical system.

They just want more say in how their tax dollars are used, and they want
the Trident Bases out of Scotland.

Of course, there is perhaps that matter of Bannockburn and Culloden and a
few other bits of unpleasantness, but I will leave that the Scots to
clarify, assuming we can find any.  Any Scots on this list? For that
matter, are there any Scots on the other Anglican list that nobody
mentions? Somebody who is on both lists might inquire over there, and see
what shakes out of the tree, as it were.
