Scotland leaving would be horrible for all concerned IMO.

It's not about favouring the Tories, it's about wiping out an unfair advantage Labour have enjoyed and it'd benefit all the other parties in the rest of the UK.
@ Maggy J - Nor is about not wanting a credible opposition 'whomever is in power'. Labour would be just as credible in opposition as they are now, indeed they'd have to try a lot harder.
Still, we digress.
