Scotchland will survive.... even if Wee Alex Salmond has a blinding obsession with ferrying Hot Cuttied Meals around using taxis at the English taxpayers expenses, but he should be in line for a Gold Medal when placed on the Haggis Hunting Team.
Sunday Times / Real Radio from last week had a yes-no gap of just 9 points; and indy as the most popular choice over devo and status quo. Presumably it didn't get a mention in the Scotsman.
The poll you mention, commissioned by the Fabian Society, which is affiliated to the Labour party, had their own question to arrive at those numbers. What's the point in that?
Will the Scottish members of Team GB be allowed to stay Team GB if they want or will they have to leave and go on a Team Scotland one and will they have enough time to prefer for such an outcome?
Scotland won't separate from the UK, so your concern will not arise.
Scotland, like the other constituent parts of GB, competes as a team of it's own in the Commonwealth Games. So the structures are already in place, all they need is a separate Olympic Committee to do the paperwork. End of.

but If Scotland and Women quit the UK we'd only be left with a couple of bronze surely that would be unfair....
Even if Scotland voted for independence in 2014 I doubt actual independence would happen that quickly
On a separate but related note, Scotland would have to receive independence within a year if the majority of the Scottish electorate votes for independence. Otherwise, a farcical situation would arise in which candidates in the Scottish constituencies would be elected in the 2015 UK general election only for their jobs to cease to exist the following year.
Will SNP supporters be upset when they lose the 2014 referendum or will the take it as men?

Dear Mrs Imp,
Please, please remove the keyboard to a place outwith the reach of your laddie. He's making a complete a*se of himself on DS, and once you have done so, perhaps you can teach him about Red Squirrels in Scotland.
Loads of independence referendum's have ended with the "NO" to separation answer. Typical example Quebec said "NO". Northern Ireland says "NO" to separation. The Federal States of the USA also voted to stay within the union. Bavaria never gets enough nationalists to even raise one. Austria voted to reunify with Germany. Many small scale opinion polls show Danes and Swedes would welcome unification (typical small example) http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=189337
I'm not sure what your point is? Now many Indian states have voted for Separation even though they speak different languages and have different customs - I'll warrant its a minority.
You clearly are not looking. Scotland leaving the UK would be like Texas leaving the USA - its not going to happen.
Scotland won't separate from the UK, so your concern will not arise.
Could be arranged. Dig a new short-cut between the North & Irish seas. If Egypt and Panama can have a canal, why can't we? Think of the jobs it'd create.
I doubt Scotland will even go independent. New polls today show support for it is decreasing!
There's a long way to go until the vote. In political terms it's a near lifetime. Opinions will sway and change this way and that. One of the biggest weapons in the pro-independence campaign is actually a section of the English media, English public & English politicians. The ones fail to acknowledge Scotland's huge contribution to the UK over the years. The ones who continually belittle Scotland as a nation of 'subsidy junkies' who are too reliant on English taxes to go it alone.
Nothing stokes the fire more than having your nations pride pissed on.

Looks like they're staying there as well
I hope you'll continue to cheer us on.

dependps if I am living in Indie Scotland or RUK:D
Better start applying for the highly skilled migrant programme now
Why , I already live in Scotland
We're closing the border in 2014 and towing you out near to the rest of the arc of prosperity just off the coast of Iceland.
But I'll still cheer on Team Scotch in the next Olympics
if you can tow us down towards the Med, then you are on:D

Do you not have PR and branding agencies in Scotland then?
Tell you what, after independence you can have some of ours. In fact, take the lot. Gratis.

Well they might be next.....
The Red Squirrels have already left.

has a nation ever said no to independence before?

Well as we are energy rich and have the oil we might just turn the lights out, but it won't be in Scotland;)
Look we have told you this before, you can have independence when the oil runs out and not before
Seriously though I just don't see it happening for a long time, if at all.
ENGLISH passport? When did England become independent then? I must have missed that. It has always been a BRITISH passport.

The UK did a few times.. Something about taxation without representation I think caused a bit of bother in the past.
