The SNP proposes that UK students would continue to pay university fees in Scotland. That would contravene EU rules, but no matter, it's just another bit of EU legislation that an independent Scotland would miraculously exempt itself from, along with needing to follow the existing process to join as a new member and adopting the Euro.

I'm in Scotland at the moment and I've seen two Union flags - the first time I have ever seen a Union flag flying in Scotland. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the result will be No, but I've been surprised by the number of people I know who aren't in favour of independence. And the level of scepticism about whether Alex Salmond actually wants independence - some think he really wants increased powers devolved from Westminster.

Of course the most important question, from an English perspective, is would an independent Scotland have a negative effect on the price and availability of Tunnock's Teacakes? Caramel Wafers I'm not so bothered about, but I don't want anything getting in the way of me and my teacakes.
