Yeah, I think that's the other side of it.
Under a 'truly conservative' (the good meaning of conservative) small c or whatever, a United Kingdom would be a reasonably stable thing. In that scenario, they'd be a conservatism of culture and local decision making would have to be a thing. I guess the argument is made, if it came to a north south split, Scotland might actually fair better, resources to population ratio.
But yeah, I don't think Scotland would be happy with a 40% shipment of culturally estranged pirates rocking up to its shores. Not even from England. they need more Gaelic!
The most important person from Scotland in the last 25 years is Andy Murray who won Wimbledon.
