Scotland wants independence? UK's future climbs political agenda

Explaining why there were no fireworks to mark the 300th anniversary of the Union, Tony Blair told his first press conference of 2007 that it was argument, not fireworks, that mattered.

The way the current debate over the continuation of the union is going, that argument is likely to provide its own fireworks - most spectacularly with the possibility of a referendum in Scotland on independence. Or, as prime minister Blair put it, the disaster of Scotland being "wrenched out" of the Union by Alex Salmond's nationalists.
