Born and raised in England only but I feel British and I would be sad to see the Scots leave. My gut instinct is that they won't. When it comes to momentous decisions such as this people are naturally conservative and my guess is the dinnae votes will go in favour of retention.
If they do go for independence though, Scotland will no longer by an ally. It will be a fierce competitor seeking to undercut our economy and should be treated as a parasitic leech with massive tariffs imposed and life made as difficult as possible. The Scottish Nationalists have made that unhappy situation necessary. Their clear aim is to grow their economy by slashing corporation tax and thus attracting businesses currently based here or in Wales or Northern Ireland into Scotland who will then flog their wares in the countries they left to avoid paying their dues. Can't stand the SNP, they act and claim they are left-wing but their economic vision depends on being a prostitute to capitalism.
