It is right that it's up to the Scot's but I don't think that it should be an in/out choice.
It's a pity that a more devolved scottish government with more tax raising powers wasn't on the ballot - just keeping defence, monetary and other such policies as being common - more of a Federal system - like the US. A lot of Scot's I know would go for this and it could work well for all of us - fairer for the English too. While we're at it the Welsh and Nr Irish should have the chance too.
I think full independence could be really messy and bad for all involved with all the other challenges we face globally.
Salmonds probably one of the smartest politicians in the UK right now IMO, he seems to run rings around the rest. Can't say I like him though - a bit too smug.
Hopefully an independent scotland will still let us on their trails though and won't impose import/export duty on eBay purchases!!
