The only reason Scottish independence has had so much press recently is because its a world cup year. Expect talk about it to disappear over the next year or so, and come back again in the months around the next European championship. Its almost entirely a football issue, and gets raised periodically at 4 year intervals, lasts a couple of months, and gets forgetten again.

The reasons most people give for supporting independence are so hilariously petty that its extremely hard to take them seriously.

The ideal solution would be for Edinburgh to join England (since they would end up financailly supporting the rest of Scotland if they were to be stuck with them), and for the rest of Scotland to go away and form a third-world country somewhere.
