Scottish Independence referendum, 2031 (Fester)/Jacob Rees-Mogg resignation speech

Good morning everyone. Yesterday, the people of Scotland made a decision, perhaps the biggest in history. We should be proud that in our democracy that decisions like this are put into the hands of the people. It truly is a wonderful thing. The people of Scotland have voted to leave the United Kingdom and their will must be respected.I would like to thank everybody that helped fight for our side of the argument; I genuinely believe that a United Kingdom is the best way to guarantee the safety, prosperity and happiness of Scotland. However, it is clear that the people of Scotland have decided to take a different path. They have made a decision that must be carried out.People across the world have watched Scotland make their decision. There will be no initial change in the way people live their lives. People can carry on as normal, may they be from Northern Ireland, Welsh, English or Scottish. I have called Mhairi Black and congratulated her on her success. I told her that we will immediately begin working with her to ensure that there is a smooth transition.I am very proud and very honoured to have been Prime Minister of this great country for 8 years. We have made amazing progress. Britain was a world leader in the technological revolution of 2027. We carried out a successful exit from the European Union. The U.K and the United States have a closer bond than ever. The economy has improved drastically, the average family is over £5000 richer and more people are in work than ever before.However, it is clear it is time for fresh leadership. So I have informed the King and the 1922 committe about my upcoming resignation. A Conservative leadership election will be held and I intend to be out of this office by February, but until then I will be your Prime Minister and will work tirelessly to help deliver the will of the people.I believe both the United Kingdom and Scotland will survive a split and I hope we remain great allies. I love this country, and I feel honoured to have served it. Thank you everybody.- Jacob Rees-Mogg, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 2024-2032
