Talk of "mercenaries" and Scots serving in the armed forces at the point of independence being similar to current Commonwealths citizens confuses me.
I live in Scotland, commute weekly like what seems like 95% of the RAF to England, and I was born in Scotland. I have a British passport and I consider myself British.
If Scotland becomes independent, I'm sure I'll be entitled to citizenship there. However, where's the part in the process where I suddenly lose my British citizenship?
If Scotland becomes independent, plenty of us will consider staying exactly where we are in the jobs we have, as befits our British citizenship.
