Scotland's upcoming independence referendum in 2014 raises questions about the future of the United Kingdom if Scotland secedes. The debate highlights the complexity of the UK's structure, particularly regarding Northern Ireland and Wales, with concerns about the implications for governance and representation in Westminster. Polls indicate mixed feelings in England about Scottish independence, with some viewing it as a potential solution to the "West Lothian Question." The discussion also touches on economic considerations, such as currency and the viability of independent states like Wales. Ultimately, the referendum could significantly reshape the political landscape of the UK, depending on the outcome.
