Will this become the worlds first Liberal Democrat run oil protectorate.

Hail Emir Tim Farron!

But I thought the Lib Dems were pro remain and didn't want to leave things. Will they keep holding referendums until they get their way?
Orkney/ Shetland succession has been floated as Scottish Independence spoiler since the 70s by the UK Government. Slight (oil) issue is they'd both be an enclave in Scottish waters with only territorial waters immediately around them.

They are also misquoted as returning to Norway - they'd return to Denmark, like the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland all did when the Norway/Denmark union broke up. That said, Denmark have enough bother with the Faroes - do you really think they want Shetland/Orkney...
