If I were Scottish I'd vote yes. The more I see of the Tory-led no campaign, the more I'm absolutely convinced that being free of them for good is the right thing to do
I came to post a similar sentiment, but from the other side.
Although I have always been against the pseudo-union as constructed under the 1706 Treaty, particularly Article 19, I think a proper union would make sense, in the same way that a united Ireland makes sense; if in doubt, look at a map.
However, during the current campaign, I have become increasingly convinced by the Yes group. Not by their arguments, which are plainly silly, but because every time I hear one of them speak I am increasingly certain that England would be a better place without its semi-detached northern neighbour.

Pendulum politics in the UK is a disaster. No matter what side you pick, a country should largely have a shared and united vision that it holds to for a very long period of time. Scotland has a chance to do this and build a country that reflects the needs and wants of the people there.
