Well I'm presently living in Scotland - and I WILL move south if they try to go independent. Taxes in Scotland will skyrocket and services will be downgraded. The defence implications for UK are enormous. But there's worse. Scotland will effectively become a one-party state since neither Labour nor Conservatives can win government there. And that one party? The SNP - is pure Marxist. Salmond is a Marxist. A one-party Marxist state - does that ring any bells? There is another complication, there is a Scottish election due a year later. Should by some miracle, Labour manage to claw its way to power it would almost certainly halt the independence immediately and remain in the union - otherwise there may never be another Labour government in UK. So it is all going to be very interesting.
