There is an assumption by many that should scotland gain independence that the isles would be quite happy to sit in bed with Scotland and hand over all the oil revenues, but it doesn't take much reading to hear the murmurs coming out of the isles that they too may wish to be independent from Scotland. Now that is perfectly reasonable and acceptable under the remit of rights of self determination, all I ask is what happens once the oil revenue is gone ? Independence isn't about a short term boost to make one party popular it should be about the long term economic viability of this country now view Scotland without oil revenues is it really long term still as viable ? Also why should Scotland have independence and not the isles if they wish it so !
