The reason why Scotland is richer than rUK is because it has been given loads of devolution and special treatment. Southern England remains far richer though. It's Wales, Cornwall, the North and Northern Ireland who are paid tragic dust.

We joined the union over 300 years ago, we're a different country today than then.
I'm not voting yes, so I'm not disagreeing with you Scotland needs and should stay a part of the Union, but we
are a wealthy enough country now to be able to stand on our own two feet, especially since we've got such a high revenue coming in from different sources.
