Also what would happen to people like me who moved here 20 years ago but my son was born in Scotland a year ago. Would I automatically qualify for citizenship or would I have to go through a whole bureucratic process to get citizenship. Scots people are more wise to the bigger picture than Salmond and the SNP give them credit.

I seem to remember One of the SNP claiming that Citizenship for other brits living in Scotland would be automatic - i don't know what conditions they attached and I can't remember how long ago it was. Give citizen ship to everyone in the country is what I think. Might get a couple of decent footballers out of it at last...:rotfl:
Besides, I don't think it will make any difference to you (or a post independance Scot Living in London.) You have the same rights to work here as I do under EU law. I don't know about EU voting regulations but I'm sure legally you would be entitled to vote as well.
Personally I think that the SNP will win and enter into a coalition with the Liberals. I also think that once they get a taste of it you might start seeing lots of excuses for putting of the independance vote.
