I think losing Scotland will rank worse in history than presiding over a banking crisis.

People are also underestimating the impact a Yes vote will have on both the Scottish and UK economies. 18 months of negotiation, the loss of oil revenue, the banking sector moving south. Sterling has already taken a hit today. It will likely continue tomorrow with the latest poll set to confirm it's neck and neck. It will hit the skids if Scots vote Yes next week. How many people have their pensions invested with a Scottish firm? Standard Life? Scottish Widows?

We're 10 days away from turmoil. The UK being torn asunder will be destabilising force than might even rival the banking crisis. You don't lose 10% of your GDP, 9% of your population and 30% of your land without consequence. This will dominate the United Kingdom for the next couple of years. The EU and UKIP will be footnotes compared to the Scottish Question. A question for which our Government doesn't appear to have prepared an answer for.
