Quote Some 46% of those outside of Scotland asked to imagine waking up and finding the country independent from the rest of the UK said they "wouldn't mind", while 34% said they would be dismayed and 11% said they would be delighted.
When adults in Scotland were asked the same question, there was more evidence of the task facing Alex Salmond, the leader of the Sottish National Party, and the Yes campaign - with 46% saying they would be dismayed and just a quarter saying they would be delighted.

Time and time again england and scotland have tried to go it alone and it always ends up in war between us both with lives lost.
Those at the top must surely be aware of this too and they must surely know that this is inviting history to repeat itself.

Hmm since we have been an entity since the 18th Century I doubt most even think about it.

Joking apart I agree with 7up and just think Alex Salmond is an attention seeker.

When Alex Salmond first came up with this pathetic idea Cameron agreed they could have the vote on condition that it was ONLY a vote and nothing came of it.
Now it's turned into a full blown voting campaign with a definitive result that depends on it. What happened to the vote only for the opinion but nothing happening?

I think the vote in September this year will be 'No'. It will be interesting to see what Salmond does then.

I hope it is a No vote too. I like Scotland and visiting it the people are generally very warm compared to some regions of england. I fail to see why I should need a passport to go there as was recently reported in the DM.
Seriously I think Salmond is a power and food hungry arrogant MP who simply doesn't know how to make a real difference to peoples lives. He's clearly only doing this because he wants some control over something of his own and I think that makes him incredibly sad.

And what currency will they use? He will have no right to use the Pound.

Sterling notes issued by Scottish banks will be effectively valueless without some agreement with the rest of the UK.
I've noticed places that used to happily take them starting to refuse, as they used to years ago.
