Agreed with both this and sir_guinlain. I'm also deeply doubtful about the "Scandinavian Scotland" idea. Is it an idea I'd really like as a reality? Yes! But none of the existing Scottish political parties, with the exception of the Scottish Greens, seem to give any indication that this is the way they see the country going. As UK national parties Labour and LibDems are hampered on that front, but the SNP isn't, and the SNP is decidedly not giving a message of "We would intend to introduce Scandinavian style taxation in order to deliver Scandinavian style standard of living" or any significant signal towards that, and since any chance of such change happening requires public opinion to behind it, that rather suggests that it isn't currently viewed as a winner in terms of public opinion (or at least that proportion of public opinion that is also pro-independence).
