The polling is now consistent in favour of independence.
It’s looking more and more inevitable that Scotland is going on a different political path to the rest of the UK (England specifically).
Every county in Scotland voted to remain, they overwhelmingly vote SNP yet are stuck under Tory rule thanks to England.
If they were to get Independence, would you consider moving there?

The Scottish people have the right to determine their own future. [And also Northern Ireland and Wales].
If they chose to leave the Union of the [dis]United Kingdom then that is their decision.
There is an interesting article about
Scottish Independence this morning, here:

55% Yes will send shockwaves throughout the political world. There is no conclusion to draw from this new data other than the writing is very definitely on the wall for the union.

SNP depute leader Keith Brown said support for independence is “soaring”.
With the prime minister repeatedly ruling out having a second independence ballot, Brown said:
“Boris Johnson’s attempts to deny the right of the people to decide their own future is now utterly unsustainable.
“It’s no surprise that momentum towards independence continues to build in the face of utter contempt shown to Scotland by the Westminster government.
“The people of Scotland deserve so much better and by taking our future into our own hands we can build that better Scotland.”

The National Scot - newspaper also leads:
THE vast majority of younger voters support Scottish
independence, The National can reveal.
Today's Panelbase poll, commissioned by
Business for Scotland, put the Yes vote on 55%. Now, the group's CEO Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp,
writing exclusively for The National Extra, has revealed that among voters under-35 that support is at a "massive 72%".
The next age group, from 35-54 years old, also has a large majority in the pro-independence camp, with 59% of those voters supporting Yes.
A citical part of this debate also relates to
The Senedd - The Welsh Assembly, has devolved powers and increasing power to make its own laws with an independent legislature.
The sovereignty and independence of
Northern Ireland has been firmly placed on the table since the
"Good Friday Agreement" - a natural political evolution, with the "province" moving away from direct rule by Westminster. The issue of devolved power is different to Scotland and Wales, but with England leaving the customs union and the European Common Market, the economic needs of Northern Ireland increasingly alignes the economic benefits of strengthened relations with the Republic of Eire.
Irregardless of details, the people of Ireland, Wales and Scotland have the right to
self - determination. Direct rule by the incumbents in Westminster is rapidly hitting the buffers - though how long it takes and its form will depend on the momentum and leadership for change in those countries.
