I'd vote Yes.
I'd struggle to say why, probably, in the end, for the same reason I'd have voted for independence if I was a Scot - i.e. it feels right, it's the natural order, nationalist sentiment, heart overruling head.
Would that have caused me to vote for Brexit if I was English?, don't think so. The economic suicide is more pronounced and certain on Brexit (admittedly there's more than a dash of that going around re Scotland and UI), and I'm not fuelled by xenophobia (which seemed to be a fair element of Brexit). So the heart may have had a pang of sticking it to the stuffed shirts in Brussels, but don't think it would have been strong enough to overrule the head and land the UK is the soup in which it is currently flailing around....

So the questions are:
- How do you think you would vote?
- Do you have any strong reasons or are you conflicted and allowing the heart a 'free vote' on this one?
- Is Brexit the clearest instance of national hari kari in the Western World since WWII?
