Default Scottish Referendum

Do you think Scotland will vote YES or NO?

Not do you WANT Scotland to be independent, but what do you think they'll vote!

Poll coming.

Vote Yes is Sensible

It honestly wouldn't make a difference to me so I don't mind but why change what has worked for years?

I think certainly the momentum is now with the 'yes' camp but I somehow still think once in the polling booth the result will be 'no'.

Alex Salmond however, no matter the result has been brilliant all through and really looks the experienced Statesman too.

I'm very much a Yes voter, however, I am also a realist (and a bookie ) and odds like 3/1 vs 2/9 rarely lie, sadly .

THAT SAID, BB15 closed at Ashleigh 4/11 vs Helen 6/1 sooo... hope yet lives?

I agree Joey and, ironically, I agree because Scotland has for so long been British. And Britain for over half a century has been ruled with fear and pessimism. On the whole, as a population, we are sadly fearful and pessimistic people. That's what will win the day in that booth - when it comes down to a vote fuelled by hope Vs a vote fuelled by fear... fear will win every time. "Better Together" knows this, and it's why they've based almost their entire campaign on scare tactics. There's been a very vocal criticism of that tactic and a rejection of it has been reflected in the polls BUT, when it comes down to it, the silent majority will be influenced by it when it's just them, alone, with a pen and a voting slip.

Hopefully no.

If a yes, they can go to hell. The Scottish Tibbers with them.

Can't say I buy that we as a nation are a bunch of scared pessimists. Down to earth and modest yes, but that's what I've always liked about being British.

I truly believe that Scotland will remain a part of the UK. People don't like change.

I wish this referendum was held at the same time as an actual general election though. It would make more sense to have this referendum on the same ballot as a national election.
