As a Scot, I think that now (and I was previously ambivalent about it), I'd use similar arguments for wanting Scottish independence after all this. Previously I'd erred on the side of preferring radical reform to the UK electoral system rather than the risks of outright independence, but it just feels difficult to deny the complete fracture in sentiment between Scotland and elsewhere at the moment. That said, it looks like similar divides are seen throughout different areas of England, too (London vs the North East, for example).
Interesting times ahead - lots of people are going to be angry, regardless of what happens next.
