But could Westminster not just remove any possibility of a currency union with the stroke of a pen and thus pre-empt any fallout to UK from a potential independent Scottish bankruptcy?

I guess what I am asking is does Scotland need London more than London needs Scotland?
Okay, from the majority of postings on here, it would appear that Scotland needs London more than vice versa ................... but if so, why is there such anxiety in London over any possible Yes vote?
