If Scotland became independent, would people living in Scotland be able to opt to keep their UK citizenship and move to England? Or would they have no choice and automatically become Scottish?

Ugh.

Either be independent or don't.

All this half way crap is annoying.

If you're going to be independent, have your own damn head of state. Have your own money.

If you're going to be part of the UK, no more devolution of powers. It's already devolved to a ridiculous extent as it is.

"No" will probably still win but just for poos and giggles, what do ya'll think the party system would look like in an independent Scotland?

I thought it was commonly accepted that the movement for independence only really started becoming serious after devolution and that devolution had the opposite of its intended effect.

That being the case, why the hell is the No campaign offering more autonomy no matter what?

I'm a Unionist sympathizer but at this point, if I lived in Scotland, I would actually consider voting yes just because a unitary Scottish government would be better than the ridiculous proposals for near-total-but-not quite independence. What's the point of that?

They're basically saying "please don't vote against the union...and in return we will make the union totally meaningless."
