I think the reason the issue keeps recurring is the fact that it is not purely a question of logic but rather a combination of emotional and cultural differences, stimulated and provoked by both the dripping tap of condescension and smugness that emanates from Westminister/England and conversely, the SNP who use it as a possible conduit to reform.
If there's a no vote now, there's nothing for the SNP to lose in trying for another referendum in 20 years, by which point the UK will have formed into a toxic swamp with Katie Holmes having usurped the throne and assumed the position of One True Lizard Queen whose sole task is providing surrogate children for the Tories to eat, with Jeremy Clarkson impaling cyclists at will on some Mad Max style jousting wagon and the entire area London exclusively populated by exactly 10 billionaires and their serfs.
I'm surprised by how badly the last few weeks have gone for Salmond-he's made a miscalculation somewhere about how much leverage he could apply to the currency issue. He's a chancer and wants to avoid the insecurities arising from establishing a new currency, but I don't think he's done by a long way yet and I think there's more than enough time for Cameron to do his job for him, which he probably will.
If anything this whole exercise is probably more about using the referendum to definitely secure and deliver some kind of 'Devo Max' whilst maybe managing to snatch full independence by a sly 0.5% of the vote. They don't have much to lose as a political party at this point and even if there is a no vote they will retain a huge level of support in Scotland for their protection of core services like the NHS.
