It'll depend on economics and all the dreams of affluence will come crashing down. The services you currently have will be cut as Westminster money is stopped, that'll cause hardship on a massive scale and unemployment will rise, who will fund your social system? The facts are simple, Scotland doesn't make enough money to sustain itself as it is now, a bare bones economy will follow a leave vote and any dreams of joining the EU, in the wind. There will be many who simply stop trading with Scotland, it won't be worth the hassle of passports and border checks for trucks and trains, what price a train ticket between London and Glasgow, what % will be the Scottish fee be, who will check the passports? It's been made quite clear that if Scotland leaves they'll be left to it. See how popular she is then.

So all Westminster has to do is get that clear message across but do it in a way which does not get everyones backs up.
