Historically England has ruled countries into the ground and unless they're forced out they only leave when things can't get worse. why anyone would say that it's a good idea for england to have control of any nation is beyond me. Independence for all.
If Scotland were independent, would taxes be higher or lower? I imagine that there is a contribution to The UK naval and air forces that could be reduced while still enjoying the protection offered. What is the net on Scottish taxes? Its gotta be more than just nationalism, where is the economic interest?
hey look at Ireland, it's even smaller and is divided in 2, and they were fighting the English up until the 1920's till they got what they wanted. Hell they're still fighting each other in the north Anyways though, I say put it to a vote, let Scotland decide.
