You might want to read FR a bit more. Seems the idea of a new CFA has lots of fans and more by the day.

That aside It remains awfully ridiculous to hold your view when the very concept of America was built on the idea of casting off oppressive government. Which is what the Scots are doing. Which is what people in America mean when they bitch incessantly about one party rule. Whether or not it works for them, we will see. Whether or not they are socialist idiots or modern versions of the founders will be determined by the results.

A new CFA has a lot of support. The old one doesn't.

The argument about oppressive government only works IF you believe the government they are casting off is "oppressive". A considerable number (probably still the majority) dont believe that. Even if you think that Westminster is no longer representing the best interests of Scotland (a reasonable argument that many in parts of England could relate to) the Yes campaign plans tighter links with the EU. So basically, they are fighting for an independence from London that they will then give away to Brussels. Makes no sense to me, unless the prime emotional motivation of the independence camp is watching "Braveheart" too much.
