What I can't figure out is how the Scots think they can make a living while most of their populace is on welfare? I suppose they believe the proceeds of North Sea oil will do the job. They can't support the economy selling single malt whiskey.
If the Scots succeed in separating from the U.K., will the Welch be next? We could see a wave of these split-ups across Europe; the Catalonians and Basques leaving Spain, the Flemish and Walloons in Belgium, the northern Italians would like to separate from southern Italy, etc.
There is even talk the East Germans would like to become independent (and Communist) once more. Fascinating, Europe could become a whole flock of mini-states, think Luxembourg times forty.
