As an outside observer () to this, am I wrong to hope the Scotland does vote for independence? I only know what I read from international news sources, so I don't know the realities on the ground, but it does seem with Brexit that Scotland couldn't possibly be that much worse off without the rest of the UK. I'm curious what people who are actually directly implicated in this feel.

I've gone from being pro-union to actively hoping for Scottish independence over the last few years, because the political situation in the UK as a whole has become so utterly horrible with no immediate hope of improvement or even change (the Tories are dominant in a way they haven't been since Thatcher, and the Opposition parties are a bunch of useless neolib melts who don't want to change the status quo but just have a turn in charge of it) that I want at least some people to have a chance of escape. Getting back into the EU could only be to their benefit.

Granted, I have a personal interest as well, because I would qualify for a Scottish passport as my mum was born there. :v:
