Ok. Now Scotland, why did you wanna leave in their first place?


Well they obviously didn't.  Salmond confused a wish for more control with a wish for autonomy. He got it badly wrong. 

I wouldn't say 45ish% voting yes is getting it badly wrong. That's a huge minority wanting a complete split from England. I would not be surprised if a majority want a significantly greater level of autonomy than they're going to get without wanting a total split.
