We should be interested. We might not have a vote, but I think we need to start preparing ourselves psychologically for break up of the UK.

Rather than scaremongering that we will become a lesser player on the world stage when the UK population drops to the level it was at in the mid-1990s, we should understand that 'Rest of UK' will continue to be a world power, while Scotland (like Republic of Ireland) will be an independent ally with more problems to worry about than the larger United Kingdom.

What shouldn't happen is for the UK government to bribe the Scots to stay in the UK. Any devolution should be matched in Wales, Northern Ireland, and England (of even to the level of London - with a larger population than Scotland).

Whatever the Scots decide, I will remain very fond of the country.
