They are not some yateem nation like Nepal, they have a bigger economy than Pakistan and 10 times bigger than North Korea. Also they would be part of the EU. Any country which is part of EU will survive.
They can't survive by themselves. Its going to be 'NO' and they will remain part of UK.

Did Pakistan not survive and so many other countries who got independence in the last 50 years or so. Its a bit difficult in the 1st few years but then it settles down.

Scottish independence: First referendum results declared

This is a developing story.....

Scottish independence: First referendum results declared

The first results are coming in for the referendum to decide whether Scotland should stay in the UK or become an independent country.

Clackmannanshire was the earliest to declare, with "No" winning 19,036 votes and "Yes" on 16,350 on an 89% turnout.


The northern isles of Orkney and Shetland both also voted against independence.


Counting will carry on through the night, with the final result expected after 06:30 BST (05:30 GMT) on Friday.


In Orkney, "No" won 10,004 votes compared with 4,883 for "Yes" while in Shetland voters rejected independence by 9,951 votes to 5,669.


Polling expert Professor John Curtice of Strathclyde University said the Clackmannanshire result would be a "considerable disappointment" to the "Yes" side, who would have hoped to have done better in what is Scotland's smallest mainland local authority.


In other developments:


  • Police are investigating allegations of electoral fraud relating to 10 ballot papers in Glasgow
  • The Queen is expected to make a written statement on Friday afternoon, after the result has been confirmed
  • Prime Minister David Cameron expected to respond to Scotland's decision in a live televised address following the final result
  • The count in Dundee was briefly suspended due to a fire alarm
  • For latest results and full coverage, go to bbc.co.uk/scotland-decides

Commenting on the Clackmannanshire and Orkney results, former Labour Home Secretary Lord Reid said: "It's obviously gratifying to get the first two results under our belt by fairly significant margins.


"But that's two out of 32. It does wonders for the morale of the troops here, but in the very nature of things there will be ups and downs and I'm sure there will be one or two that rather than creating euphoria here, create a bit of despair."


SNP MSP John Mason, who represents Glasgow Shettleston, said that Clackmannanshire is "one of the smallest councils in Scotland so I think it's quite hard to read very much into that".
