If I was Scottish I would vote yes in the referendum

I like the idea of an independent Scotland. I also think it would do quite well.

However I am from England and here IMO the impact would be quite negative for many people without the balancing hand that is provided by Scotland.

Something that the Scottish may like about voting yes is that they will never have a tory government. But that also means that cards will become stacked in favour of more tory governments in England (which may be a reason for conspiracy theories...)

But I still want Scotland to vote Yes for independence.

They got so close... yet so far.

While it is probably good for us northerners that they havent left us (though it may not be if Cameron's plans to change parliament favour the tories...), I cant help but feel disapointed.

I thought they had it in the bag.
