The want many things that American liberals want, and they don't think they can get those things from the conservative Parliament in the U.K. Now, they want to try governing for themselves.

An independent Scotland will be quite liberal, like its neighbors--Norway, Iceland, Denmark, and Sweden. The U.K. Parliament will become more conservative if Scotland leaves (as Parliament will lose 58 leftish Scottish seats and only 1 Tory seat).
