I dunno, maybe just maybe, he thinks 300 years of joint history shouldn't be thrown away* *added to which he doesn't want to go down as the PM who lost it, and it'll almost certainly cost him his job ..but cyncism aside I think it's possible that many tories aren't just weighing up the advantages getting rid of Scotland will give them in a GE

it depends.....but right now UKIPs position is an emotive one IMO and mirrored by the SNP. "We are better off alone, just us"

the UK?

Emotionally it's the same mindset not political/policy.

Either way now - the outcome's not going to be pretty and it reflects petty (not neccessarily nasty) nationalism/differences etc rather than the positive romaticism some 'Yes' voters seem to claim it is the outcomes - many english getting fed up with scots and soon and ultimately more devolution, inwardness and autonomy and inwardness, ultimetely in 15-20 years I see us as separate anyway and England out of the EU Small mindness to me - don't see huge emotional differences in the outcomes that the SNP and UKIP seek. Little englanders and Little scotlanders.

I'd have thought East Dulwich would be a dull old place to live as a student (as well as expensive)
