> In a democracy you often don't get what you want.

According to Tuna-Fish's complaint, the Scots never got what they want for 70 years and now suddenly there's an opportunity to change that. Seems to be the better alternative than continuing with the status quo or following in William Wallace's footsteps.

Not true, there was a labour government for 13 years! Also many parts of England and Wales vote in a similar way to Scotland but they don't get to secceed.

The Labour party was corrupted by Blair. Its almost as right wing as the Conservatives. Inequality continued to grow for those 13 years.
