Patently obvious there are an awful lot of issues which being in 300 years of Union need to be worked out.
I'm sure they will all be resolved over the next 18 months or so with a possible X in a box. This has the potential for being an unmitigated disaster for the country. We will most likely end up being weaker on the world political, economic and military stage. It could hand even more power to those countries that really have only their on self interests and care not about anyone or anything else. Watching Sturgeon yesterday she seemed to lack any confidence in here facial expressions and tone. She's doing this to save her political skin, not for the benefit of Scotland. It's in a politicians DNA. Me, me, me. There has to be an alternative solution sort. |

Personally I think the answer is to go more down the line of a federal state. Each part of the UK raises its own taxes and spends as appropriate. National defence and foreign policy remains as UK etc. |

I have to confess that I don't care either way what Scotland chooses to do, if they break away it'll save a lot of money for the rest of the UK. |

Analogy
You go to a bar, in the bar there is a stunning looking girl that you really want to get to know. At the side of the stunner is her mate, she's a rough old boiler that looks like her make up was done by a graffiti artist, and someone has fly tipped an old mattress in the back of her pants as she got dressed, you buy them both a drink although the old boiler has nothing you want, it's just to make things get along.
Scotland is the old boiler. |

Being English, I suspect that Scotland does not have enough productivity to support themselves independently. Like other Nations that joined the EU to claim benefits, those promoting Independence in Scotland may see that as insurance.

That's how I think it could be. Although I'm not sure how it would all pan out but it would seem to be a good compromise. |
