Well I live in England, and I want to see independence for Scotland. Then maybe my taxes will go down and we can stop subsidising your economy! Scotland can only afford to have socialist policies because the English are paying for it... The tax going north out weighs the oil revenues going south so you wont have that one to fall back on.

All of this talk of breaking up the Union had little or no chance of happening until recently. Since the English have started to feel "English" rather than "British" Scotland is much more likely to get it's way, it will be worse off if it dose...
