Maybe the Scottish nationalists should eye-ball the recent Canadian election results. The Bloc Quebecois, a separatist party, was anihilated at the polls. The NDP (Labour) gained 59 seats, mostly at their expense. One of the newly elected MPs has never even set foot in the riding she won
Her only work experience was tending bar at a University pub in Ottawa. Another new MP is a 19 year-old university student who was too busy writing exams to do any campaigning whatsoever.
Whatever: I think that the clear message goes something like, "If you are getting more than your fair share of general tax revenue; don't rock the boat."
So, the voters in la belle province (they are a tad to the left of centre), voted overwhelmingly for the NPD whoever they choose to run as a candidate. Probably, when the referendum is held, many voters may view the question as one of a prosperous union vs. a less affluent nation. Could be a no brainer
