The Scots are an intelligent, inventive people with a lot of resources. If they have to be self-sufficient, they'll decide what's worth having the gov provide and what isn't.
I'm all for independence movements. Globalism and international banking hurt us "little folk". If Scotland goes independent, lots of other people across the globe are going to want their freedom.
Seems to me they can't be all that intelligent (the majority anyway who vote socialist) if they favor the Gov't programs.
It doesn't take much inventiveness to invent Gov't. That's more about laziness and dependency.
