Don’t count on it. One of the key driving forces behind the ‘yes’ vote is a paranoid fear amongst the left-leaning Scots that UKIP will gain influence and take the UK out of the EU. The Scots on the whole love the EU. Yessers want to take Scotland out of a successful union, yet shackle it to a dysfunctional and anti-democratic one.

The Scots I met on my various trips seemed to want a very real free Scotland. I understand wanting to be independent, I don’t understand joining the EU, which is a rather restrictive entity.

Be free Scotland, don’t shackle yourself to an even more oppressive master than the one you plan to leave.

My hope is that once they feel ownership, true nationalism will occur. For now, they might be following along with the socialists ... but that’s for this vote. Doesn’t mean that an independent Scotland will continue on that path.
