That's exactly where I'm at.
My logic is social, political and economic reform is more achievable in a self determining nation of five million than it is in a cobbled together union that still sees itself as a player on the world stage.

Would anyone seriously argue that the current default Westminster socio-economic and socio-political model is in any way worthy?

As soon as Edinburgh, Wales and Belfast got their parliament/assemblies the writing was on the wall for the union.

Maybe if they give England it's own parliament back in 99 and somehow changed the structure of the UK parliament to account for the voting differences in the individual nations, then possibly the union could have been salvaged in some way.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about Scotland being independent, the UK will split at some point. Only a case of when and not if.

A good possibility it could be a unified Ireland that splits it before us Scots do.

I’m certain that there are significant parts of England that would question the identity of “we”, “us”,and “our” too.

Ireland already split it 100 years ago, so Northern Ireland leaving wouldn't make any difference.
