Can I ask a stupid question?  What is the current party breakdown of Scottish seats in the UK Parliament?  Couldn't find that info on Wiki.  If the referendum passes, but independence doesn't take effect until 2016, then I suppose it's mathematically possible, if unlikely, that Labour wins the 2015 general election, but then loses its majority in 2016, once Scotland is no longer represented in the UK Parliament?

The Prime Minster needs to delay the parliamentary elections.  I just did the math, Labour would have a 42 seat majority based on polling now, and they would likely have 49 seats in Scotland. 

But don't they legally have to hold the next election within five years of the previous one (meaning 2015)?
