At the end of the day Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland are all the United Kingdom and a minority of socialists voted for by a minority of people DO NOT represent the whole of Scotland and their views on the country and separation. This is this whole ain't-Scottish sentiment that has already been aired on here, we don't need it and we don't want it!
It's quite clear that the SNP can't take the fact that people actually like the way things are and way things are going. They had their stupid referendum (the only party that wanted it) they got their answer, they didn't like it but I'm sure they will try again and again and again IF they are voted into a majority Scottish government.
Oh and there was 59 seats in Scotland, 56 went to the SNP, 1 to the Tories, 1 to the Lib Dems and 1 to Labour and I think that vote was more due to the football team the MP is affiliated with.
I'm not anti-Scottish at all. I'm pro English independence and the break up of the union. It's a political philosophy thing not a nation thing Angie. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have one quarter of their workforce employed by the public sector (the three highest regions in the UK) so they are being stifled by the current system. The public sector is picking up the slack from the lack of private sector jobs. In other words their economies are not properly developed by the Union. The public sector/private sector divide in those regions is much higher than in England.
Consequently, in the election, in Scotland, 76% of the vote went to anti-austerity left wing parties (SNP 50%, Labour 24% and Greens 2%) and only 16% went to centre right/right wing parties (Conservative and UKIP). In England and Wales the tables were massively turned - 53% voted pro-austerity and EU referendum and only 35% voted left-wing.
The result too often has been a government elected by a country I don't live in. The same is true for you Scots. So a split is the best option. Imagine if we had a fully federal EU and the EU elections determined the make up of our parliament! So if the rest of the EU voted in a far left EU parliament we would have to live with the outcome.
The only alternative to a split is to try and kick start the economies in those regions and create real economic growth. George Osborne is trying to start that in England with Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield etc.

Something I read the other day that I thought was quite funny.
Scotland voted for the SNP
Wales voted for Labour
Northern Ireland voted for DUP
England voted for Conservatives
So the UK gets Conservatives.
Doesnt seem right does it?
