That may be the point of Ms May, but she is not the only party concerned. If Scotland really wants out of the UK, than that is what will happen, one way or another. The legal requirement of needing formal approval from Westminster will not stop it. It never does. The King of England refusing his fiat to the independence of what is now the US did not stop the declaration of independance either.
If Scotland - or Wales or Ulster - really wants out of the UK, then that is what will happen, wether Ms May likes it or not. I doubt she will go for an all out war. It would be much easier to just let them go. But if not, we will see the Scots fighting a guarilla war on their own territory. Which as we all know, can not be won. So in the and, maybe decades later, Scotland will be independent anyway. With both countries in ruins. Better just let them go if that is what they really want.

So why is Texas still part of the US? They are a net contributor aren't they?. Why do'n't the people in Texas get tired of Washington neddling in their interbal affairs.
Why does Silicon Valley not step out of California? Thety are net contributors to the almost bankruopt state of California are they?

"we"? Since when are "we" the small people in the UK?
