If the vote does not pass this time, it will in 2016 when the world economy fails. This is simply an event in history whose time has come.

Maybe not. As was hinted at upthread, in 1995 Canadians were kept up all night by a referendum in which Quebecers very narrowly rejected independence. That was the high-water mark for that movement. Canada would have lost Quebec, but Quebec would have lost Canada and whatever they get from it too. Quebecers seem to have looked at that prospect and walked away.

With independence you get something, but you give up something as well.

And a state created on nothing but ethnicity has only ethnicity to hold it together. People will have to make their own judgments from history about how that has worked out.

Aye, but then the world economy hadn’t fallen apart... buckle your seatbelt for 2016.
