I am not someone you would expect to have anything to say about independence for Scotland. My basic gut feeling is that if the majority of Scots want it, then it is a matter for them.
However, and there is always a however in anything worth discussing, I can' help feeling that we are really talking about a fundamental change to the constitution of the whole UK and this should mean that any referendum should cover the whole country, not just North of the border. Current discussion about who controls the vote is pretty pointless until we actually decide what the issue is. We are talking about a fundamental break up of the United Kingdom, and that must surely call for a referendum for all British subjects.
