Anyway, it will never become a military situation. Trying to take Gibraltar militarily is not only impossible for Spain but would also result in Spain being completely isolated internationally. It was legally ceded centuries ago and the people voted 99% against shared rule with Spain. For the UK to agree to shared rule would be politically impossible and against everything that the UK stands for. ![[image loading]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Gibraltar_Tercentenary_flag_display.jpg?1491076714915) | ||

And obviously a military incursion is not going to happen.. For the UK to agree to shared rule would be politically impossible and against everything that the UK stands for. Indeed, the british like their tax havens more than anything ;p | ||

Short answer: no. The real benefit they get from being British territories is the weight of the British military/economy in general. Scotland cannot afford the kind of research/military bases that the UK can, and does not have the international weight to stand up for the interests of territories. Also, people who feel ideologically British are pretty much the antithesis of the SNP. | ||
