Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?

Seeing that the per capita spend by Westminster is £1400 more in Scotland than in England, and now promises of an overall increase in this in the event of a "No" vote - what the hell do the Scots have to whinge about?
I can understand why Labour supports the "No" vote - they would lose 60 odd seats at Westminster so we could then do away with the Coalition - but why do the Tories also support them.
Of course any increases will have to ratified by Parliament - but no doubt the majority of the 3 parties will do as they are told and not follow their consciences, no doubt our MP will be the first in the division lobby to approve the motion.
If only the Government will spend the same on the English then I will fully agree with them - but I am certainly not holding my breath
