Secession is rarely a good idea.

Political reasons aside, you have to look at the practicality. The situation is pretty similar to Quebec over here in Canada, from my perspective.
Now for something like Scotland there's generally two approaches: Sovereignty-association: Basically it keeps the UK currency, economic ties, political ties, etc but it's a separate country. Sounds great for Scotland, but no sane UK politician would agree to it. Full Sovereignty: Exactly how it sounds. Complete separation, loss of government services, corporations moving oit to stay in UK, dropping currency for a new unstable one, loss of all UK industry, importation of UK goods, acquisition of their share of UK debt, etc. And I wish this was a hyperbole or just one side of the argument. So short answer is it'd be an economic disaster for Scotland if they chose independence.
No one should have to be "Inderpendant"

All pointless nitpicking aside, it is the natural way of things that small things unite and big things divide. Te question is not "will Scotland become Independent?" it is "when it happens will people be prepared?"

I've studied federation, and that's not necessary true. Actually, it's kinda counter-intuitive.

Well I'm speaking more from a historical perspective, empires collapse, and their pieces form new empires. Its civilizational!

Do you think that ? Well I don't I'm no of fan of the SNP but anyone can see (if you look a lot into it and only people who live in Scotland because it will affected them most of all) that Scotland would be better off with independence. I always vote for Scottish Green Party for MEP and MSP votes, but for MP votes I vote for the main one, but anyway the Scottish Green Party supports Independence so that one reason I am voting for Independence.
