Thanks for your response, Rhianne. Are you Scottish? I'm not, of course, but I still voted in the poll. The coverage of this very big story has been scant where I live. A new country?! Come on! How often does that happen? South Sudan was the last "new country", if you don't count the chunks of Ukraine Putin keeps hammering loose.

I voted (in this poll) that I didn't think they should become an independent country and that I didn't think that this vote would result in an independent country. My main reasoning was that national clout, for both (an independent) Scotland and the UK would be diminished by ... what's the word here? In the US, "secession" would be the word. But I don't chafe at all from the reins of political power held in London.

I would love to hear more from you, and from others. Limey, I'm looking at you...
