I'm torn each way, I can see advantages/disadvantages to staying as we are, and also advantages/disadvantages to breaking up.
It's a tough call.
Really it all comes down to money; how much does England/Wales etc get from North Sea Oil/Gas; how much does it cost us and how much do we put back into Scotland. Given the way the 3 main parties are campaigning to keep Scotland, I'm guessing that financially we probably get a lot more from oil/gas than we put into Scotland??
I think the only sensible option is Devo Max, where England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland have their separate parliaments and the Welsh can't vote in the English parliament and vice versa etc...
But there should still be some kind of UK authority with perhaps just each countries ministers in it, rather than all of the separate MP's - not sure how that would work though??
