The King of England (King of England) is the symbol and link of the Commonwealth. Why can't he interfere in the Scottish referendum and call on Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom and not seek independence?

Scotland’s independence referendum caused a stir in world public opinion. People on the outside generally hold two basically opposite attitudes towards the matter. Approvers believe that Britain deserves to be the birthplace of modern democracy, and that the Scottish referendum reflects respect for civil liberties. Queen Elizabeth II's words "Let the people of Scotland decide for themselves" express the self-restraint of power and the spirit of freedom, and are a model for rulers around the world.

There are also many people who regard the Scottish referendum as a British joke. Once Scotland becomes independent, not to mention that the UK will lose its North Sea oil fields, nuclear military bases and large swaths of territory, even the name of the country may not be preserved. The "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" may have to be renamed the "United Kingdom of South Britain and Northern Ireland". Two hundred years ago, the "British Empire" was said to have "the sun never sets". The "Empire" had already ceased to exist when it lost its territory and abandoned its land. Now even the island of "British" has to be lost. It is really in decline and extremely weak. .

One of these two views is based on ideals, and the other is based on realistic considerations. One believes that the referendum is the glory of the United Kingdom, and the other believes that the referendum is a shame for the United Kingdom. I dare not say which view is held by more people in the world. But I guess most people are realists and talk about ideals when it doesn't concern them. But for the British government, which is feeling the pain, it turns out that ideals have triumphed over reality, or that the need for political correctness has suppressed the need for national interests. Otherwise, the UK has many ways to prevent the referendum from happening, from law to violence. This is a very interesting phenomenon. This article will talk about the challenges that Western political concepts are bringing to Western countries themselves.
