I have lived in England & Scotland, the Scots are no worse off than the English. In fact as a nation I would say they are substantially better off than England, smaller population, awesome countryside, less jihadists, better golf courses.

Those voting Yes had a very simplistic view of life after independence, they would have been up **** creek without a paddle imo.

To put it very simply, on a per person basis, the money contributed to the general good of the UK was not returned equitably. Scotland did not receive 30% (their population value) of taxes back in the form of public infrastructure or welfare. By becoming a separate economic region they would have fared far better than they do now - this will change if the promises made by the Brits is kept but Britain does have a long history of lying to the Scots - read your history.

History will show Scotland did not want to be independent of Great Britain, get over it.
