I guess what I'm saying is:
Essentially Status-Quo for many years (not all dandy, but more or less steady state). Scots decide they don't like it and want out maybe depending on if it suits them. So it kind of makes sense the rest aren't happy about it and would feel some animosity.
On the other hand. EU, major changes taking place. Would consider it as a valid basis for countries in it to be concerned and consider where they stand.
Should be stick it out through good times and bad. Not bail out when it's not looking too good.
I should point out that I'm not exactly a patriotic type. Plan to move somewhere sunny if finances and family arrangements allow in the future. Just kind of getting my head round why it would be annoying.
). The point still stands though. There's no great clamour for independence on their part by the sound of it, yet it's being foist on them by a (what they see as a remote) government, led by a party they've never voted for in their history. Just the same as your pro-Yes lobby were yelling about last night in respect of the UK being led by a Westminster based Conservative government they've never voted for.
Will you wave them and 2/3rds of "your" North Sea fields goodbye, if they decide they want to go their separate way or form a union with the Faroe's or Norway? If so, you're going to have to sell a fcuk load of whisky to make your books balance (even with the SNP's somewhat optimistic accounting).
