if they vote yes then it makes the UK right wing as all the scots will get their socialist dream.
If they vote no then it keeps the socialists in the UK and the Scots still get their welfare paid for by London.
Precisely. I have to chuckle at the posters who imagine some kind of independent conservative Scotland. Ha!
UK wont be anywhere near right wing, but the right wing will have a lot more say in the country. After this year, there will be actual right wing politicians in Westminster. Carswell is the first in a long time now he’s free from the Con platform.
Yes, but at least Alex Salmond and the Nationalists will be humiliated! Perhaps that is the (looong) road back..?
I suspect that a lot of the support for the left-wing parties in Scotland would evaporate, in the event of separation. Separatists would have united under one opposition party, to push independence above all else. Also, a lot of Scots might reconsider their support for socialist programs, when they realize what they would have to pay for them.
