And the numbers of Scots in England is far higher than the english in Scotland according to the last census I think. I hope Ulster and Wales choose to stand for themselves as well, self government and self determination just like the Swiss Cantons will be good for all.

As for the energy I'm sure England can trade its Frack Gas for oil with Scotland.

Obviously I don't know for sure, but I can't see Scots residents of England losing the right to live there. After all, they moved there when it was one country. (And they won't even get a vote in the referendum!). Of course, if the whole thing descends into an acrimonious divorce, then anything could happen. This would be a real pity as, at the end of the day, we are going to be close neighbours.
