The problem with giving the UK population the vote on Scottish independence would be to give the majority a controlling say and therefore the ability to override the wishes of the local community who, overall, would be in the minority.

If the UK voted to keep Scotland within the UK but the majority in Scotland wished otherwise, would we then just call them separatists and send in the military to keep them within the union?
