After the civil war in Ireland 1922 de Valera ensured that relationships with England remained terrible right into modern times. He also initiated the dreadful policy of borrowing the £ sterling which gave Ireland 50 years of poverty. Now Salmond wants the same for Scotland. There is no particular reason why members of a union need to be the same size. Canada , USA, Oz all manage perfectly well with large and small members. The EU, which has the same problem, manages it fine with the formula Deutscheland Uber Alles. If the result is yes Scotland a member of the independent UK is going to need more luck than Paddy McGintie's goat. Even with a no vote there is going to be a fearsome row about west lothian and Barnett in London. Salmond and his cronies may be able to con Cameron while Clegg & Brown will be delighted at another shedload of money for Scotland where Lab & LibDems have key seats. Salmond will have a lot more trouble neg devomax south of the border. |

Any Government which relies solely on force to rule its citizens would soon fall. |

I agree with Denis. Alex Salmond did not start this - Salmond only really became a force to be reckoned with in 1990 and it has taken a long muddy road to get to where we are today. |

JoyBoroAngel - if they vote Yes for independence, I am afraid that you will probably have, all the Scottish MPs in Westminster until the date in 2016 that Scotland becomes an independent sovereign nation - so be happy in the knowledge of that :-D :-D :-D |

The overall margin of 10% is far higher than that predicted by the opinion polls, in many areas it was actually far greater. |

DC has set a difficult timetable to resolve the English question in parallel with giving Scotland the promised changes. |

I was happy to read this morning, that common sense had prevailed, and Scotland had decided to remain part of the United Kingdom, that said, I think the result could have gone the other way, due to the complacency of those at Westminster - up until a few weeks ago when a poll put the Yes Campaign ahead of the No Campaign. |
