Being internationally nosy

Hello flist! Question for you -- what are your thoughts on the upcoming Scottish referendum on independence? Just curious.

I'm especially interested in hearing from those of you in the UK, but others are welcome to chime in if you like.

Its full name is the Conservative and Unionist party, so no, it isn't in favour of bits of the union being detached.

People have done the arithmetic and most elections in the last 40 years would have returned the same ruling party without Scotland. But separation could well mean that the 'centre ground' of politics ends up in different places on either side of the border.

Ah, thanks! Of course, if Scotland's votes didn't make a difference in Westminster, I can see how they're frustrated. (Well, assuming that they voted for a different party than the one that ended up winning.)
