One good thing about this referendum is that it will bring some clarity to Scotland on the issue of union. Otherwise the "should we / shouldn't we" becomes an albatross.

If memory serves, Alex Salmond declined a meeting with Pauline Marois. Even he thought she was barking mad.

Didn't know that.

I rather wonder what my status would be if Scotland does bugger off. I'm half Scottish (mother).

Would I qualify as a Scot?

Perhaps some sort of McMetis?

Québécois (naturalised by residence). It overrides everything.

Could be indicative of rising confidence in a Yes and/or a political statement that Scottish votes don't matter.
