Scottish independence is a stupid idea because it makes no sense and it is, from inception, a fantasy issue to attract the monomaniacal voter. Scotland, like the entirety of the UK, lives on fiscal transfers from London. Once you cut that lifeline, Scotland, and similarly any other region of the UK, will decompose in a matter of weeks.

It is based on a weird sense of superiority that is not justified in anything that happens in the material world.
