It is obvious that independence can work. From what I've seen it is the "NO" campaign which appears to consistently paint a picture of doom.
What the nationalists might deem to do post referendum is anyones guess but, as has been stated before, it will be a negotiated basis from which to begin.
That was always the deal.

The name of the principal no campaign organisation is the big giveaway here. It is,
Better Together. I know you know that already.
The No campaign's message is to get people to vote for the negative. That puts them at an immediate disadvantage, for anyone looking for someone to point a finger at and accuse of doom-mongering.
But the truth - as I see it, and, I believe, as the comfortable majority of Scots voters see it - is that while independence can work, iScotland would not be a more prosperous place, an easier place to live or work in, and a great deal of time and money would have to be spent re-forging a lot of things that at present a lot of people take for granted, such as the cancer research funding arrangements under discussion today.
