But me thinks that she is just like any other politician and wouldn't be looking to actively help the UK in order to help her case for independence. Could backfire if you guys decide to stay in the UK after all [emoji53]

That doesn't seem likely, as you said yourself. She is determined to achieve independence and if they lose this referendum, they will probably just call another one in a few years time and repeat until they get the result they want. I think holding another one soon is justified though, given the current situation.
Yes, you could argue that UK voted together but it would not be right to just ignore the concerns of regular Scots either. Obviously I would very much prefer a compromise to be drawn up, say, more devolved powers or something like that compared to full-blown independence but whatever happens, happens, I guess.
