I mostly agree with Foucaulf; though I'd replace his worry about right-wing populism (not really much of an issue there I'd think) with a worry about how Scottish independence would be a pro-Tory gerrymander in the rest of the UK. And, yes, that is a legitimate thing to care about.
No it's not. The Scottish don't owe the rest of Britain a Labour government.
Not to mention that the importance of Labour's Scottish seats are overrated but that's not particularly relevant in this context.
Well "owe" is not the sort of framing I'd use, but as someone who is not a Scot or an Englander, but who
does care about the well-being of people who live in all parts of the island, it's
obviously a perfectly legitimate concern to have. And it's a perfectly legitimate reason to favor one side or another, keeping in mind of course that it's not
actually my decision to make.
Scotland has had remarkable growth rates in recent years in sectors like farmed salmonds,
Nice Freudian typo there.

If Scotland was proposing to have its own currency (and would be allowed to have one by the EU they would like to be a part of) then I would look more favorably upon the "Yes" crew. But their current "solution" to the currency issue is obviously bad, and obviously looms large.
England has in several post-war elections produced a Labour majority of its own and can do so again.
Its not up to the EU to decide whether Scotland should have its own currency. But I agree its a mistake not to create one, even if its understandable from a tactical POV.They can, however, decide to create one at a later date, so I think there is far too much emphasis on the currency question.
The EU requires new members to join the Euro. Scotland would be a new member. So, even if it
shouldn't be, it is. Unless Scotland wants to stay outside of the EU?
