If you are correct about all this Rosko then good luck to Scotland and the tidal wave of awesome that is coming when you're no longer held back by the English who apparently wouldn't want any of this for the UK.
And it's great that you have worked with the guys who will change everything for the better so have the inside line on the future; but I'm gonna suggest that most people still get their information from traditional outlets. Most people still turn on the TV, read the papers and listen to the figureheads feeding them their particular line of bullshit. In this case Alex Salmond and the Yes campaign he is spearheading. So I think it might be touch presumptuous to say that nobody is interested in him.
I seriously hope you are right though and if this new ecologically sound, fair and prosperous country emerges I might even emigrate myself.
In the end though, I think you'll have a very similar government, peopled by self-serving arseholes (they're certainly operating up there right now), that is only as progressive as every other government. Despite what is being said in blogs at the moment, as soon as they are into the political cycle they will not be thinking much further than the next election and how to keep/take power. And that requires short term view, lowest common denominator politics.
