Wonder why that is...?
I'm not sure it's the subsidy junkie theory, rather it's just that when a member nation where nearly half the voters want to leave the union and get all stroppy about it, it tends to wind people up in the rest of the union nations, if they want to leave then crack on. Don't blame the Englandshire dwellers, they didn't start it (other than 300yrs ago). Personally I'm glad Scotland didn't break up the union, and the majority of Scots voters thought the same apparently, so we're all in agreement there.
