the only reason scots have for wanting independence is ideological. they just want that 1UP over England. to say "we're not part of you now".

in terms of everything else (the stuff that matters like economy, jobs, social mobility and the like), everyone will lose out. so it's best just to leave the "Scots vs English" for sports and conversation, rather than splitting up a perfectly good country.

Sounds like the Quebec situation.

I am a Scot, I live in Scotland, I support the SNP on most things, this is not one of them. Scotland is better off in the UK than out.

Nah, they'll make everyone worse off, ruin is too strong a word to use. Scotland will be perfectly fine, but it's not a thing that should happen just like that, even if it were wanted

Bloody SNP (The Dakka filter is surprisingly apt for Fatty's party)

If we get independence, i'll be the among the first over the border.
