Which is why, in my opinion, further (or full) devolution is the only real way, going forward, to keep the UK "United". To be essentially separate countries working very closely together. South-of-England politics and economics simply don't work for Scotland and there's no reason they should have to for the UK to be successful.
The same may very well be true for Wales. I'll be honest and say that I don't actually know all that much about Welsh politics.

England is far more anti Europe than England to say the least whereas the welsh are a total enigma....maybe if they had the oil and extra wealth of the scots theyd be more keen on breaking away. if they had an independence vote for the welsh im pretty certain it would be a landslide no
