In a lot of ways there is an anti Thatcher element driving nationalism. A vague notion that we could do better than having a bunch of English public school boys running the show. A hatred of 'Westminster' which seems to implicitly be a code word for Tories, London... basically The English.
With no currency plans set in stone, a vote for yes seems to me to be a massive gamble. Incredibly though it seems like less people are concerned with economics and more their sense of identity. If Adolf Salmond and his natsi's can pull this off they'll have beaten Labour, Conservatives and the Lib Dems, every major political party.
Worrying times...
