Yes, for many, it is emotionally driven, but the same can equally be said for both Yes and No voters; just look at the passionate unionist on Question Time as an example of that. Indeed, as an interesting aside to this, it was widely reported here in Scotland that those who prefer to seek out facts are mostly choosing Yes over No, which was one of the reasons for the massive swing to Yes recently.
As for the finances? Scotland will be fine. It's already one of the richest countries in the world, after all (top 20, as I remember; 14th is it?). I'm not saying it will be easy, but it will be fine should it get an unlikely Yes vote. there are many articles about this online if you're interested. No one here in Scotland doubts this part of it, they doubt whether all the hassle and risks of being independant is worth it for the advantages.
