Being Scottish born and bred and having moved to England for a job recently I'm beginning to at least entertain the independence angle and hear it out, whereas before I was steadfastly against it. I still think it would be a monumentally bad idea long term, but I can at least see why people might be taken in.
England really is a whole different world, and it's become apparent that most of the English saying Scotland should go independent are jealous of some of the nice little perks Holyrood have introduced while their local Borough/County Council and/or expenses cheating MP ignores them. This is a case of cutting off the nose to spite the face and it comes from the same people bleating on about getting a proper English Parliament and turning the House of Commons into some kind of much smaller institution dealing with all issues that affect the entire UK e.g. defence.
Oh well, I won't get a vote anyway unless I move back up north. It probably will happen but not before 2014 and the referendum.
