I just don't see the pointGreater, localised political power? Yes, cool. I'm all for that. However, splitting from England completely seems to have no real benefits and, as you say, it seems to be being promoted for, frankly, stupid historical reasons not political sense.

I'm personally fed up of Scotland Being used as a Guinea pig State for WestminsterPoll tax, Council tax, smoking bans etc. So at least a Party that wants a free Scotland (not saying it will happen as the other parties who still have the majority collectively) will at least stop this sort of thing from happening.

I doubt they will, to be honestGet into power on a populist vote and then slowly change into the Tories, that's the way you run a country in Britain. If you don't want Scotland being used as a "guinea pig state" then involve yourself more in the British system in order to change it, don't take your ball home in a huff. I do wonder what'll happen to the things like state-sponsored nuclear power plants and Faslane under an independent Scotland.
