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.

I think, as aralias says, I don't have strong feelings about it - Scotland will make its choice and it'll be sad if it does go, but if it wants to, that's fair enough, I suppose, even if at this point, it seem rather silly in some ways. The scary thing is how much harder it will be for the remainder of the UK to get a non-Tory government back in power again afterwards. With the gov't we've got right now, that's genuinely frightening, so selfishly I really hope they vote no.

Thanks for the information! The possible political effect on the rest of the UK does sound scary.
