Suppose you had a differant english civil war in which we have Cromwell killed whilst still relatively unimportant, the parliamentarian still win and establish a republic in England but the monarchy is allowed to relocate to Scotland which has not joined the Parliament forces and is not as dominated by Covenanters, the Confederation of Kilkenny joins the Royalists so we effectivly have a Republican England with somewhat chaotic government and a United Kingdom of Scotland and Ireland.

My question is what is likely to happen to British colonial possessions ? Would the colonies stay with the Republic or would they declare for the royalty dispite them not owning the homeland ?
