The referendum failed because the Scots went about it wrong. That way it's supposed to work is:
-You wait til England is engaged in a war, then start your own.
-At the end of the war, you agree to a compromise that pleases no one.
-You make sure you have some people SO displeased that they wage a guerilla war on innocent people for decades.
-At the end of THAT war (which really isn't the end, btw), you agree to yet another compromise that (big shock) pleases no one.
