Some 32% of people in England and Wales think that Britain would be better off without Scotland in it, according to a poll

And 47% say that they are not concerned if England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland break apart through independence, the survey by Metro/Harris reveals. The Scottish National Party won an overall majority at the Scottish parliament election in May 2011 and said that it planned to hold a referendum on independence within the next five years. If Wales followed suit, 26% of Britons would support its independence, while 30% would oppose it, according to the survey.
