That's probably the most interesting thing that will happen in 2014, especially if Scotland votes 'YES' (which I believe will do, I don't trust pools anyway). Generally speaking, after 2008 and the policies the EU choose to endorse, Europe is heading towards right-wing, nationalistic governments, who speak against a unified EU. That's because where the EU was seen as a good thing before, it was used by liberals to kill effectively every social protection Europe had to offer[1]. That doesn't apply to Scotland as much as other countries, but I believe it does affect the vote indirectly. [1] From Spain to Turkey, every country that had to do a non-popular, usually anti-social reform, used Brussels as the main reason.
