Polls suggest support within Scotland for independence ranges from 28%-38%, although pain from ongoing UK spending cuts could bump that up. Might be why they’re pushing for a referendum now. Without the sharing of tax revenues being wed to England becomes less attractive for Scots.

I’m no expert on this, but why would any Scotsman not prefer independence? Is the sharing of revenue that important? Do the Scots get back much more than they pay in?
