This Scottish
Independence debate is not about ‘nationality’ but about where power lies.
Both Germany and America have a Federal style of
government – that is every state runs their own affairs and the central
government decides on foreign policy and roads.
The questions for me are moving Trident from the Clyde for starters, devolving powers in both education and the health service, and one of confidence and choice! If we look at the Scandinavian countries Finland and Norway - both have done very well since gaining their Independence from Sweden a 100 years ago. Norway is a sea faring nation very similar to Scotland.
This is not about 'breaking away' but a new type of government - the UK model is a broken one.

A
Conversation. We in Scotland
all need to have a ‘conversation’ about Scottish independence and mostly this
is not happening.
Also ….
perhaps the rest of England
needs to break away from Superstate London also.
Those that
support independence feel inhibited about voicing their views.
