The politicians on both sides will have their work cut out now.

If Scotland wants independence, so be it. But it should be sure that it can afford it. Claiming independence but expecting others to pay for one's bills would be an insult to the other, and clear evidence that one is not independent.

What vote should that be? Whether they want to let the Scots leave peacefully without starting a war?

No, more a vote on how much of the union debt they should take on before we close the borders :smug:

Would Cristina Fernández de Kirchner be interested in dropping all claims to the Falklands in exchange for Big Al's Scotland? :hmmm:
