I am confused as to why that is arrogant. Should Scotland gain independence, the idea of Faslane becoming sovereign British territory seems plausible. There are plenty of examples of armed forces bases being located within foreign jurisdictions in accordance with similar arrangements. As I understand it, relocating the infrastructure of the Naval base might well prove prohibitively expensive. Furthermore, its continued presence would provide a considerable boon to the local scottish community in terms of jobs and the presence of British armed forces personnel. To be clear, I hold no strong opinion on the continuation of the Trident programme or Scotland's membership in the Union. The part of me that is proud to be British would be sad to see it break up I suppose. I do however support the requirement for a Binary referendum whole-heartedly... no more self-determination.
