The opinion polls suggest they may well vote to remain part of the UK and continue leeching off English tax payers. (For non-UK people who aren't aware of the situation, English tax is redistributed to Scotland to pay for their free university education, personal care, etc while English, Welsh and Cornish have to pay tuition and care fees!)

I don't know whether I would mind Scotland leaving or not. I realise that they have unfair amounts of money poured into the country (though they still complain about their situation), but if they leave we are effectively no longer are the UK. Why they would want to leave anyway is beyond me, it would hardly improve their lives.
