Well he's right. Scotland and the rest of Britain would still be in a 'personal union'; for the purposes of Her Majesty, her Kingdom would be united, as it was from 1603-1707

But there was no United Kingdom from 1603-1707: there was a Kingdom of England and a Kingdom of Scotland, which had the same monarch.  (Ignoring 1649-1660, of course.)  I assume that if Scotland votes Yes then the situation would be similar, except that the former would presumably be called the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland or something along those lines.

LOL at Reg Empey, anyway.

Worth noting as well that should independence be successful, the SNP will probably be finished. It's job will be done.

So how do you think post-independence politics would play out in Scotland?  Assuming Labour become the "natural party of government", who would be their main rivals?
