Westminster doesn't want Scottish Independence for a few good reasons.
Britains mineral resources are disproportionatly in Scotland, the North Sea Oilfields and their taxes would go straight to Holyrood. On top of that, renewables are considerably more proffitable up here due to more consistent and higher speed winds, developing the wind alone could supply 60% of Britains energy supplies. This is accounting for pumped storage in the Highlands.
England by itself, has City of London. And the Car industry.
Don't get me wrong, I want to remain British, but don't take advantage of us by pillaging local resources for the exclusive benefit of Westminsters corporate buddies, you realise around 1/3 of Tax comes from Scotland via our oilfields? |

Drying up, but still enough to balance Scotlands books and pay for University and diversify the econemy should it go independent.
If that happens, England would slide into a depression due to the cost of paying Scotland for its energy.

Please note guys, its the Scots arguing to keep the Union, SNP were a protest vote against Blair.
I prefer the idea of looking into a British Federation.

It's a bad idea because then Scotland and England would start fighting each other again, and this time with modern day technology. As awesome as William Wallace riding a tank would be.....
Guess where Trident is based?
