It will be very interesting to watch news footage of the "man in the street" kind in places like Glasgow and Edinburgh, or really anywhere in Scotland. I don't know if exit polls have been conducted at all. I haven't seen any mention of them.
You referenced Canada's own experience with this sort of thing. I know that in Quebec, regions like the Saguenay were and probably still are much more separatist than places like Montreal. I haven't heard much reportage on that sort of division within Scottish society.

FWIW exit polls show "NO" so far. 54% - 46%. Who knows how accurate they are.

We've had this conversation brother, I admit wiabout a doubt that is a blight on American history and if they wished to form a nation I would support it. I am only a third generation American I feel I have a right to quietly support.

Doesn't matter we will invade in a year and the people will cheer.
