The agreement, struck in Edinburgh, has paved the way for a vote in autumn 2014, with a single Yes/No question on Scotland leaving the UK.
This is excellent news for the people of the UK. Scotland is more socialists than the rest of the UK. This will, at the least, lead to a slowdown of the loss of liberty in the UK, if successful. It may even lead to a decrease in the lose of liberty in Scotland for a few years. It will take some time for the socialists in Scotland to bring all of the terrible laws of the UK to Scotland. Overall, this is a win for liberty.
Now if the US government would just let the people of Vermont and HI to vote to leave the US...
If, as you say, Scotland is more socialist than the rest of the UK, there would be no reason for Scotland to drop off the UK tit.
There is no reason for the general populous of Vermont or Hawaii to drop off the US tit either.
The last Scot who understood freedom left a looooong time ago. Scots have been enslaved more by their own countrymen than they ever were by any English king.
