To think Scotland will now get their independence in next few years after election result?

Just that really...SNP did absolutely brilliantly. Shows that the majority of the Scottish people are behind them. Am I right in thinking they will get their independence in a couple of years?

If you can bypass the Telegraph paywall, have a look at the article in the business section (I can't link it -- sorry) entitled The SNP can have its referendum in which they set out a reasonable framework for full independence and the concessions that would have to be made.

Looking externally, it seems like it would be a very stupid decision. You get huge amounts of funding for services, few natural resources (the oil is gone sadly) and culturally you are essentially English anyway. As always, these decisions will be made the majority in the south east (who pay/sustain your services with little complaint!)

"Culturally, you are essentially English anyway"

I could respond to that comment, but my reply would be deleted.....

Hopefully.
