I have heard, admittedly don't know the specifics, that where power has already been devolved to the Scottish parliament, they have not protected the NHS budget in Scotland as much as Westminster has in England. So if they have already chosen less money for healthcare than Westminster, I wouldn't have much faith in them on that front.
I also think austerity can be complicated by the ideology of the ruling party but is not simply ideologically driven. I am afraid if you want to find the cause of austerity you'd have to look at the years leading up to the financial meltdown and the Labour government had much do with it. I don't think the Tories would have been any better.
As for London, I don't see the investments benefitting ordinary people. In fact ordinary people are becoming poorer and poorer as a result of the house price boom and cost of living.
I wonder if the referendum has become a cause upon which to hang dissatisfaction with many of the problems of life today, when in fact they are not directly connected to independence and a yes vote would not solve any of them. Given the chance to shout out how upset we are with the way things are, I'd think all of us would do it! I know I would in England. A yes vote doesn't just do that though, and it won't help the way things are I don't think.
The United Kingdom is not England with other countries tagged on, to me, it is equally all the members. Yet I've never, ever thought that being British was a conflict with being English. Quite the opposite, out of loyalty to my country I want it to be strong, and so would want it to stay in a union that makes it stronger. I totally understand the perspective may be very different for others, but for me there is no conflict there. This idea that people have been feeling that being a proud Scot means you must be anti Uk is totally paradoxical and shocking to me.
