If Scotland was independent the politicians we would end up with would just be different versions of the same thing we have now, in my opinion.
If you want any evidence of that just remind yourself who was First Minister of Scotland until 2014. Is that guy actually any better than any UK politician you could care to mention?
However being part of a country always goes far beyond which politicians we elect and what the current politics are, or even any of the technical issues and benefits, of which there are many.
Keeping a country together is primarily about having a shared culture, national identity and history. About not setting one part against another.
If Scotland became independent then the UK would be a foreign country, and Scotland a foreign country to the UK, with everything that entails.
