Brian Taylor will examine the stresses and strains affecting the constitution of the United Kingdom, dealing with two key issues: the impact of Brexit and the continuing demand for Scottish independence. He will examine the underlying causes of the pressure for independence, the demands for a second referendum and the varied responses from the UK Government and UK political parties. He will trace the history of Scottish identity, as a formerly independent state and within the UK. Further, he will examine the pros and cons of maintaining the Union. There will be a substantial reference to Brexit – which underlies the demand for a further referendum.
