The Scots currently get much more tax money and double(!) the MPs per capita than the English. I dearly wanted them to vote Yes. Rats.

Is it me or did we just dodge a Greek-like Financial Crisis here. Who who have bought their Bonds? (I garner with their socialist leanings their are in debt or spending more tax dollars than they take in) If they rapped their bonds into something else like our "CMO's" which bond house would have taken it in the shorts and given us another Lehman Sept of 2008 scenario if and when they collapsed?

I know the Pound Sterling rose fairly significantly over the past several days on speculation of a yes vote, so the world of currency trading appears to have viewed it as an economic positive for Scotland to leave the UK.

The large banks based there had promised to move out over a Yes vote. So your guess is about right. Scotland would quickly have turned into an unemployed cesspool.
