To think Scotland becoming independent wouldn't have any impact on the rest of the UK?

Some in Scotland want it to become independent. I don't really understand why the coalition government is fighting against this happening. Will it really matter in the rest of the UK if scotland does become independent?

Really good article in the Herald today

it IS a good article, isn't it?

I left the thread because of that GentleOtter, though have been reading it, and it does seem to be calming down a bit.
Totally agree that the vote cannot be rushed, it's such an important decision.
Going off topic, but I read in the Scotsman yesterday about a certain 'aristocrat'
that is on a rape charge.
Do you know him?

Not intimately, thank God.

I really enjoyed the article, thanks for linking.

Totally agree with what he's saying.

Better link to that article (the previous one was just to the site's front page, which now has a new top story):

This is a total myth. From the same website, proving that Scottish MPs make almost no difference to whether the UK gets a Labour or Tory government:
