That's a matter of opinion. They have considerable self-rule now.
No! If we become independent we will not survive. We will have little money, we will not be a large super power in the UN or EU. We will simply be a tiny little country attached to England that once used to be part of the United Kingdom.
Yes! The North Sea Oil reserves are forecasted to last at least another 30 years. Currently the revenue from the oil goes directly to Westminster then they give us some of it back in the form of a budget, so an independent Scotland would have the right to keep the revenue from oil in Scotland as it is one of her Natural Resources. North Sea currently produced more oil than Kuwait and has the largest oil reserves in Europe, oil rich countries are rarely classed as having "little money." This is one reason and not even the strongest reason.
A second reason is that Scotland has the highest potential for renewable energies such as wind and tidal power. These natural resources are currently being developed. In fact it is believed that developed to full potential it could harvest enough energy to meet 25% of Europe's energy demands. In these days of increasing calls for clean energy sources and several countries agreeing to lower their use of fossil fuels it stands for Scotland to become the energy powerhouse of Europe in the future.
In my opinion, Scotland should not become independent because we will have very little money, we wont be a large super power in the UN or EU. Scotland will be a very small country attached to England that once was part of the United Kingdom!
