Really hoping we'll still have a United Kingdom by the time Scotland has another election...

And I who thought you were against the monarchy. Glad to see the wedding made you change your mind. Tongue

Seriously though, I don't think this should be taken as a vote in favour of Scotish indipendence, I'm guessing that a referendum would fail.

The Tories would the pro-Independence bogeymen as the Liberals were the Anti-AV bogeymen.

As disliked as the goverment might be in Scotland, I doubt that would be the case. AV has been seen as a non-issue for a huge majority of voters. Indipendence on the other hand would be big deal for Scotland. A massive change. It'd have huge media coverage. The way both No and Yes turned AV into a complte joke campaign, won't be able to happen in this case.

Also it's harder to scare people to vote for change, than against it.

EDIT: That being said, I'd prefer someone else than Cameron to lead the No campaign (or Miliband for that matter) Gordon Brown maybe?
