This is a democratic process and the will of the people should prevail.
So it is likely just over 2 million people (50% of the 4 million Scottish registered voters) and therefore only about 3.2% of the population of UK will determine the future of the UK. Is that REALLY democracy?

ensuring that not one penny more of my taxes and share of UK assets is transferred to iS than absolutely has to be.
I totally agree, but in addition whichever way the vote goes, it is going to cost UK a fortune and I resent the fact that a small minority of the UK population can impose such a financial burden on the rest of us. I am not talking about financial fluctuations here, but the actual cost of separation.
