Their whole thing was that Scottish independence was a good thing, but it wouldn't be possible (or even a good idea) because Scotland wouldn't be able to support their economy on their own. Does that response hold water?
As a disclaimer we are U.S. citizens, and I definitely don't know much about Scotland, so feel free to dump whatever information on me that you want
Scotland would be economically worse off independent also the Scottish are treated pretty much the same as the English and if anything are overrepresented in parliament
