I agree with you that Scotland should be free to chose its destiny, I would only note that it appears the folks leading the charge on the YES vote are doing so with the promise of securing more “public benefits”. I have seen very few people on the NO side say the vote is illigitimate, but many say it is unwise. For my 2 cents I hope the Scots separate as reality may force them to shrink the gov. when cut off from English money and it will take a good many socialists out of the British voter rolls.

True, those advocating independence are socialists, but if that is what the vote for then that is what they get. Besides, the UK is very socialist anyway.

Agree with you, but socialists never give it up! They will double-down when the money stops flowing from London and chaos will ensue!

I have read a bit about this. It seems to me the “Yes” coalition is a virtual clone to the US democratic party. All the way down to rational questions or dissent being absolutely not tolerated, to one word meaningless catch phrase of “Yes” akin to Hope, Change, Forward. It seems the yes crowd wants to create a socialist Utopia. I am kind of wanting it to happen, as I think that will be a huge boon for UKIP.
