Poster: Is the UK a voluntary Union? If it is, what is the process for leaving?

@brianleishmanmp.bsky.social Hi Brian. Could you answer these two questions, please?
1) Is the UK a voluntary Union?
2) If it is, what is the process for Scotland leaving?
We have a right to know. #IsTheUnionVoluntary #HowDoWeLeave

I need to understand why unionists think is so bad about the last 18 years of an SNP led government?
Just look at what's available to our citizens who choose to live here, All creeds, All colours, No distinctions. If you work, Live & pay taxes in Scotland.
This is the alternative to England or Wales

These Scottish Labour MPs are traitors and don't care about Scotland

It's nothing to do with Oil.

Even a very silly Scot must now realise that #BetterTogether was a big lie. Completely bogus.

Scottish Independence is now essential.
