As reported in Scotland on Sunday today. Blogging it here as the BBC has completely ignored the story. Rather than covering a story that would mean the start of break up of the UK next year, we are treated to another episode of the Tony Blair when will he go soap opera. Ah, good old English Broadcasting Company!
Scotsman.com News - Politics - Poll: SNP set to seize power at Holyrood: "ALEX Salmond is on track to take Scotland to the brink of independence, according to a startling new poll which shows the SNP has opened up a clear lead over Labour.
With just eight months to go until the Holyrood elections, the party has established a four-point lead over its nearest rivals, and appears to be pulling away."

If it does happen (and I say "if") you can sure when Scots are confronted with the reality of independance most will be smart enough to vote against it.

When you have lived in the U.S. you realise how ridiculous these issues are in an island that is smaller than California. Westminister is 400 miles away... big deal.. Washington is 3000 miles away from California and the U.S. functions just fine.
