I dont want them to leave and become independent. but think the scots would have a chance due to their education system, legal system, political system, natural resources and strong infrastructure. the scots I know and those Ive heard discuss and debate this are very very well informed. they will look at all the plusses and minusses. The pro scottish independents want a british army and they want to keep the pound. I think the political leaders saying no to the pound is amassive massive politicial own goal.

scotland has gotten far stronger and richer since devolution, whilst northern ireland and wales have gotten poorer. this needs to be understood. they have a strong economy and its thriving in some key sectors. the scots are hugely respected with good links across the world. this will help their trade prospects. they have a unique identity and I think they would become a successful small nation. they would lose a seat at the top table of world affairs and wars and the endless power games. but I dont think they care about that. they know the benefits of europe too. I think they have the ability to run their own country successfully. the same cannot be said for northern ireland and wales.

clearly they hate what thatcher did and they fear the same will keep happenning again. she was evil pure and simple.
I really think this move to independence is likely to happen one day.
