If I were an English real conservative, I'd want Scotland to hit the road, just to have a chance to get a truly conservative government elected.

The Scots didn’t want to get out, as it turned out; the “Asian” and “African” immigrants in some of Scotland’s urban areas wanted “independence”, IOW, wanted a tiny new member of the EU and even more immigration.

Nick Farage, leader of UKIP, put out an op-ed shortly before the “independence” vote, telling the Scots that going out would be a big mistake, and why.

The only scare tactics going on in the campaign have been by the soon-to-be defeated smaller parties — none of which will partner with the Tories anyway, nor have more than a handful of seats — and the media, which has largely debunked the Labour, UKIP, SNP, and LP claims, while snarking about Cameron’s campaign fatigue induced gaffes. Farage appears to be headed for Parliament — there was a possibility that he’d lose his race regardless of how UKIP fared — and has otherwise been laying back.

The current polling shows the Conservatives at 33 and UKIP at 16, bringing them up to 49 nationally; of course, how that all shakes out will depend on the actual numbers of seats won, but the big story may be that there will be a two-party coalition with a strong drift of Euroskepticism, with a possible continued participation of the Liberal Democrats, otherwise, a closely divided Commons, exposing Cameron to no-confidence and early elections. Best guess is, Tories/LD/UKIP.
