In California, we're facing a referendum that has similarities. There's a referendum pending that wants to split California into six separate states. I suspect that two of those states will have Democratic majorities, and the rest will be Republican - instead of having one huge state with an undefeatable Democratic Majority. The area where I live, would become the Sovereign State of Jefferson, and we Democrats would never, ever be able to elect a Democrat as our representative.

It appears that the electorate in Scotland is far more progressive than in England. That would ensure a progressive state in Scotland - but what would it do to what remains of Great Britain?
