An illegal referendum is likely to suffer from turnout problems and not likely to give the holders the fillip they wish for. Risky, as I said.

- jacquesm 5y agoAfter pushing through Brexit and involuntarily causing Scotland to drop out of the EU that won't go down well, I guarantee it. Calling it illegal is already pushing it, and will likely result in more votes to secede rather than less. A couple of hundred years of Scottish history are testimony to that being a country that you don't want to push around too much or it will surely backfire. Unless you want to suggest that UK would go to war or try to economically strong-arm Scotland into staying in the Union but I don't think even Johnson and his merry band of robbers is going to go that far and without enforcement the term 'illegal' holds no power.
