I don't think English people care too much either way.

and I really don't know why you think the Scots would vote to be a republic in a referendum. There's just no strong indication to back that up. In fact, all indications suggest otherwise.

The SNP have only increased their votes since they are restricted to power WITHIN THE UK fold. Votes for the SNP are not votes for independance like it used to be before Scots had their own parliament. And as Ive said, they don't even get anywhere near a majority. So in a referendum I really don't see where 50% plus of the votes would even come from.

and you can go on about feelings being different in a few years but thats just wishful thinking. It takes a damn sight longer than that for a population to suddenly switch to wanting to be a republic. It takes generations.
