Considering how England is arse kissing and producing radical Muzzies I would say go independent ASAP.

But the head honcho of this effort wants Scotland to join the EUSSR, so it would be just a break from England, but not independence.

As it is, England, Wales and Northern subsidize Scotland.
Without the subsidy, Scots would have to downsize their governments’ spending.
Logically and rationally.
To: Kaslin
Independence makes no difference. In the long run, the entire continent including England and Scotland, are a train wreck

These brave hearts who filled our frontiers and won the land from their murderous predecessors, first came to fight against Americans in the Revolution, because they were promised for that service to be able once again, to wear the tartans and carry arms, and to pipe the terror-inducing war threnodies calling for valor in battle, which tokens were forbidden under English tyranny for many years because of their allegiance to the Stuarts, esp. to the memory of "The Bonnie Prince, Charlie."
Thank the Lord for them and their Reformed theology, for John Knox and Scottish engineering, for stiffening the American spine in our worst struggles for freedom! May their loyalty since to our Flag be heralded forever!

I know for fact that Liberals here in America, are equivalent to Communists, does that hold true in Scotland?
They should IMO dump the EU!
As far as all things political go here in America...Revolution NOW!

"The referendum generally pits a younger liberal population in favor of separation against older, more conservative Scots."
Not quite. While the old are in favor of Union, so are the very young: the old-enough-to-vote teens and early twenty-somethings. It's the thirty-somethings and middle-aged that most support secession. The old know that if Scotland leaves, then that means no more London paying their pensions. The very young know where the gravy train comes from too. In the end, the vote will fail. Overall, Scotland doesn't have the nads to go it alone. Too much responsibility, too much pain in the transition, too much addiction to benefits cheques from London.

I wonder how many mudslimes are in Scotland, though. Have no idea.

If any country can get out of alliances with the EU and the tentacles of global banks, where’s the downside?
