Salmond couldn't piss in a straight line, let alone run a country.
I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).
All this talk about 'if they want to go their own seperate ways, let them'
Dont forget one of the most horrible wars fought in the last 150 years was to keep a country together, when a bit of it wanted to leave. That was the American civil war.
I'm not suggesting that we batter the jocks again, but keep one eyeball on the history folks

I think England vs Scotland would be a bit more one-sided than the American civil war
Imagine the question posed the other way round. An independent nation is asked to decide whether to surrender its sovereignty to a larger union. It would be allowed a measure of autonomy, but key aspects of its governance would be handed to another nation. It would be used as a military base by the dominant power and yoked to an economy over which it had no control.

Wouldn't saber rattling by the unionists be the bigger worry, then? Besides, Scotland hasn't really got much going for it that Westminster would want, other than oil, and even then the dazzle of the whole fracking "miracle" has its attention for now. The only crime Scotland inflicts on the world these days is Salmond, and maybe Haggis, whereas in the US' case the North, whatever its actual motivations (which were economic more than anything else), made ample use of the pretext of ending slavery.
