They don't share an island with England and their subjugation was more difficult, occurred over a greater length of time, and affecaffected different parts of the island in different ways. The political system in place in Ireland was also more conducive to rebellion.

Ireland is a separate island. England, Wales, and Scotland are all part of the same island.

Because they had to. The UK learned its lesson with Ireland which was determined to fight to the death to achieve its aim. We are not as brutal any more and are far more likely to use the rule of law and respect the ballot box to decide matters like this. There would be even more bloodshed too, on mainland Britain, should we resist respecting
the ballot box, with much increased mobility of people, mobs are able to be whipped up in minutes on social media and so forth. And not all of them believe in the cause but are happy to be anti-social rent a mob. Scotland feels it can do it through the ballot box and probably can. Wales will do it one day but is at the moment, far too poor to go it alone and depends on the rest of the UK too much for funding and government jobs to stand on its own two feet.

They didn't want to be part of the united kingdom whereas the Scots did,its only the last 100 years that Scottish nationalism has reared it's head again an the only reason it is getting anywhere is because it has usurped labour and is backed up by Irish republicans/ism.The Irish will do anything to get one over Britain... Including abandon its principles and support a different political party...and there are many of them in Scotland pretending to be Scottish one minute and Irish the next.
