Im conflicted,
I'd like the UK to stay as the UK, but then again it's all become too london centric over the years, and all the money gets spent in London and very little investment goes anywhere else in the UK. So why not.
It's a bit odd that is was only yes or no, and no where in the world would you allow a referendum to be won by 50.1% vote. For such constitutional affairs its normally 70%.
I secretly think that the English politicians, some of them anyway, are comfortable in letting it happen.
I think it will kick of a chain reaction too. Shetland and the Orkneys will split (they are the ones with the fisheries and the oil after all... Cornwall, Wales etc next, Catalans, Basques, Walloons next...
Europe reverting to ancient principalities.
