The Scottish National Party (SNP) favours independence to
Scotland. Its leader is Alex Salmond. 2014 will also mark the
700th anniversary of Battle of Bannockburn in which a small
Scottish army led by its King Robert the Bruce defeated a large
English army. Scotland, in 2014, will also host the
Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup golf tournaments. So
2014 is regarded as a good year by SNP to hold the
referendum when the patriotic feeling of the Scots will be at the
highest level. However only 1/3 of Scots favour independence
but most favour more powers to shift from London to
Edinburgh.
