I believe in English Independence, but I also think that a vote on Scottish independence could be restricted to Scotland if the right questions were posed. ie there would be two questions but only one vote.

"Should Scotland become an independent country?"

"Should Scotland remain in the United Kingdom but with all four Nations treated equally by central government?"

If the answer is independence then the wheels can be put into motion.

If they chose the second then the Barnett **** would be removed and any freebies that the SNP government want to hand out would have to be financed by Scotttish taxpayers.

It is not a perfect answer but it would make me feel better.
