They’re not. I hope are aware that Scottish independence is supported most strongly by the left within Scotland, particularly the Code Pink left, because they want the US military presence out, feel that the UK has cooperated too much with the US, and also are hoping to stop development because it’s RUUUIIINING the “environment.”

Oh...and Scotland has a huge welfare population and a larger Muslim population than most of the rest of England, so you’re just seeing the left at play behind Scottish independence.

If Scotland splits and doesn't embrace North Sea Oil production and strive to grow it, it will eventually starve.

Not actually true. Not by a long shot.

Here’s the Muslim population. Where do you get “larger Muslim population than the rest of England”??????

England Total Pop. 53,012,456 / Mulsim 2,660,116 - 5.0%

Scotland Total Pop. 5,295,000 / Muslim 76,737 - 1.5%
