However, people's resistance is quite civilized and there is no violence. At present, Scotland enjoys a great degree of autonomy in legislation and administration. Foreign affairs, military affairs, finance and macroeconomic policies are all under the jurisdiction of Britain, which can be said to be similar to our special administrative region. There are often some independents who want independence, but people often vote. The reason for the failure is actually related to money. After all, Scotland has no money.
At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the decline of imperial power and the worldwide nationalism, Scottish independence consciousness began to rise. In the course of the game with the British government, Scotland gained the right to issue currency, the right to use its own language and so on.
In 2007, the Scottish National Party, which advocated independence, defeated the pro-English Labour Party in the Scottish parliamentary election and won the right to form a cabinet in Scotland for the first time. Since the Scottish National Party came to power, it has been committed to promoting Scottish independence. After repeated negotiations and games with the British government, Scotland held its first independent referendum in September 20 14.
To sum up, due to the above historical reasons, although Scotland is a part of Britain, it is not only their historical hatred, but also their culture, religion, economy and so on that arouse the independence of the Scottish people. Scotland is a place rich in oil, and Britain was weak at that time. If Scotland leaves Britain, it will become a rich country. On the other hand, it is also related to the rise of political parties in their country, so their desire for independence is even stronger.
