You're going on the presumption that Scotland doesn't get more out than it puts in.

I look at it simply. If Scotland was taking more out than it put in,why would the tories fight to keep us? Labour I can almost understand, because historically they needed Scottish votes to win an election. The tories don't need our votes,and I am not prepared to believe they care about Scotland,they don't seem to care about England

So it always comes down to money. If we were costing money,they would not fight so hard to keep us. They would cut us loose without a second thought,and tell everyone how great it was for England,same as they would with Wales and NI

I suppose you have never heard of the GERS figures for Scotland compared to the rest of the U.K.
Although they have nothing to do with Rangers Football Club the latest GERS figures for Scotland are just about as bad as when Craig Whyte was in charge at Ibrox.
The Tories want to keep Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland as part of the U.K.
If Tories wanted to remain in power for ever at Westminster they would have jettisoned Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who are all a drain on the finances of the Westminster Government.
People living in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be in a sorry state financially if the people living in England voted to leave the U.K. and become an independent country.
The pro independence supporters in Scotland should be very careful what they are wishing for as people living in England are getting fed up bankrolling the Scots who are continually shouting for independence.
