Are you retarded? Is Scotland not part of the UK? No matter what he wants, currently it's in the UK...
As it goes I think it will be a "No" result, but if Scotland vote yes, even though I'm Welsh and don't want the Union to split, it will still be a huge LULZ moment.
I get the feeling the ordinary Scot believes they are going to be considerably better off from the Oil revenue alone, except the only revenue generated is the tax from the sale of that oil. It's claimed there's only 30 to 40 years supply left, so what then?
As an independent Country they will be saying goodbye to any control over the Pound, rUK won't want a currency union, so that means in one swoop millions of people will have bank accounts, loans and mortgages whose rates are set by a foreign Country. I doubt very much they will be able to go the Euro route as already stated by other member EU States, Scotland will have to apply for EU membership.
The new Scottish Government will have to develop a whole new infrastructure, new Governmental departments etc, Scottish citizens will no longer be issued with UK passports and the protection from UK embassies whilst abroad.
What about their security? Having declared that they want Trident off Scottish soil, it's the height of chutzpah to then request protection from NATO. They will need an Army, Air Force, Navy and Police Force. Border control would be a massive headache for them. England don't want immigrants swanning across the land border with Scotland, so they have a responsibility to ensure their borders are safe and secure.
There's plenty more to throw into the pot and it begs the question how are they going to pay for it all? I have yet to see any kind of coherent counter argument to any of the above points from The SNP, so it will be a monumental leap of faith by the Scottish people to vote "yes" with so much uncertainty.

SSHHHH! You're just a big bully, these things will be crafted from the heavenly clouds by the dear mighty leader Alexander.
No I'm not retarded. I live 70 miles from the border of Scotland, I know it's in the UK.
Good riddance, Scotland: We don
Blah blah blah your culture is dying because those people are outbreeding you. Most of the european countries are retardedly low birthrates and have to import people to supplement. Your racism blinds to you to this. If you really care so much about your culture and preserving it why don't you go have 20 kids with a pure woman of your culture. Otherwise you're just another sideliner... Bitching about those "subhumans" while doing nothing to address the real issue.
i notice you never considered his financial capacity to do so... oh snap, we may have stumbled upon some really interesting cultural differences!
