Ask the typical Scotsman on the street and they might give a different opinion. Importantly, the referendum is tilting towards independence, and the justification is almost a Tea Party vs. establishment fight. But in this case, I think that is just the surface battle.
The bottom line is that nobody likes the English. Even the English don’t like the English. And after a hundred years of their tearing down their own country out of official shame at what their ancestors did, just about everybody is sick of their self-effacing, ‘it’s all our fault’ attitude.
At the same time, the Scots have to wonder how they would do on their own. And this really matters to people. Like the impulse grown children have to move out of their parents home, if they can.
Some would, many wouldn’t. Many of those intending to vote ‘yes’, let alone those voting ‘no’, are wise and intelligent enough not to buy the ‘oppressed by the English’ line; and not to allow short-term discontents, perhaps with the present government, to sway a decision with such permanent consequences. Incidentally Scots already, through the constitutional anomaly of there being a Scottish but not an English Parliament, have more powers over their own affairs than do the English. Which is not to say they shouldn’t have more, as should the other partners in the Union. There is a lot to be said for a German-style federal structure.
The Celtic nationalists are a major reason for that attitude. Which, by the way, won't be improved by your engaging in more Angle-bashing for hating themselves.
