That was a passing fancy, a dream of good government.

Reality has hit hard and they've moved on

Many Scottish people were convinced to stay in the UK so they would have access to Europe (an independent Scotland wouldn't automatically get that).

Now that argument has vanished there is much less holding Scotland in the UK.

Can't see the Welsh going it alone.

I don't think Wales has the economy to survive as an independent nation as much as some of the Welsh love the idea.
