Scotland would be instantly better off if it left the U.K why do you think the tories and new Liebour have been trying to bribe scots with concessions for decades...it has less than 1 tenth of the U.K population with 40% of natural resources in the U.K it has oil wealth that will last for at least 50years within the U.K but for hundreds if Scotland was independent..we have more than enough to support our population of 5 million but we have been getting our resources drained by the 57 million in the rest of the U.K ..eg the oil pays for the social security bill of the layabouts of England,,,and all the asylum seekers seeking a free lunch there, we have fishing ...science,agriculture and everything else ..and would be on a par with Norway or Denmark if we got independence..instead we are pulled down by the rest of the failing U.K ...Scotland would be the 13th wealthiesat nation instantly on earth if given independence today...and yes there would be a visa waiver programme if we went independent....
