Actually I am not a big Scottish nationalist but its the lesser of two evils. Faced with Salmond or the Tories you would vote for independence too.

What you do is manage the resources better, and do what Norway did with their Oil revenue. That way, by the time the oil runs out the country will benefit from the money, rather than having it squandered away with nothing to show for it. Oil isn't our only resource, but you will know that already, right? You wouldn't start a thread like this without doing the research, that'd be a moronic thing to do.
I get the feeling Scotland can get along quite well without the UK now, what with your other trades, textiles, electronics, banking services and so forth, to say nothing of the thriving tourist trade.
Sounds like a good thing to split from the UK, at least from what I can see from across the pond.

it will be worth it to get rid of twats like you.

If its in our territorial waters its ours and after independence you leeches are gonna have to pay up for it. We might even sell you our water if you behave. Have you produced a single credible reason why we should not be independent yet?
