If I were a Scot, I might vote yes to independence. As it is, I can only plead with them to stay, by Jonathan Freedland (Guardian)
Ignored for so long, it's little wonder so many in Scotland are straining to break away. But heaven help us all if they do
... This, then, is what's driving so many Scots to consider making the break: a despairing fear that, given the way a few marginal seats in middle England can decide UK elections, Britain will never again return to the kind of social democratic values that still find a ready consensus in Scotland. It's not that the Scots are leaving Britain – it's that Britain has left them.
