Do not have a British Football League


Why do you not support a British Soccer League?

I am against this idea. 
I love the fact Scotland has it's own league. It gives us a strong part of our national identity. And it is great to have teams qualifying for Europe, and winning national trophies. 

Plus if we merged the leagues, all English Leagues in history would be counted as the forerunner to the British League. And all Scottish Leagues would be labelled as the status of a non league trophy.

So all Scottish sides would be starting on the basis where they are listed as having no national trophies, while all the English teams would be starting with all the titles and cups they have won in the English League.

Plus Scottish teams might go decades without winning trophies or qualifying for Europe.
Plus travel would be tougher.

Plus only 6 Scottish sides are big enough to realistically spend long consistent periods in the top two tiers of a British League.  And there would only be another 10 sides big enough to qualify for the top 4 tiers of a British League.
