Scotland certainly has Scandinavian connections, as does NE England. But the
best description I have read of the Yes campaign’s economic program was in The
Economist a few months ago: the Scots want a Scandinavian welfare state but pay
US-level taxes. Just does not add up. In the end they did the sensible thing
and voted for the hand that feeds them.
