This guy dresses up his reasons in pseudo-intellectual guff. If we follow his reasoning reductio ad absurdum what would be the size of the smallest state he'd like? One with 15 million people? One with 5 million? One with one person? In reality he just doesn't like the English, specifically English conservatives. The Scots claim they don't like being ruled by people they didn't vote for. But they were happy to vote for Labor for 15 years before this Tory government. Part of a mature society is that you understand that around half of the time you don't get who you vote for. I'm no great fan of Paul Krugman but he correctly points out that the new Socialist State of Scotland would be set adrift in a world of capital flows it cannot hope to control. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/08/opinion/paul-krugman-scots-what-the-heck.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/08/opinion/paul-krugman-scots... David Cameron should never have let it go this far. A federal system would have made far more sense, and not divided Scotland's people and broken a successful union.
