Who in Scotland would actually Vote to continue to be "occupied" ???

I think this is a NO BRAINER...........!!!!!

ME and probably 60-70% of my compatriots!

You really have no idea what you are talking about, and I am certainly not going to be drawn into a pointless argument.

I'm sorry..........I think my words are fairly clear and my sentiments felt by millions of Scottish people in Scotland

And to call it a pointless argument is arrogant on your part in the extreme !!!

Or do you hold such a strong argument that it's pointless to even debate it because you'd have to be an idiot not to agree with YOU

Either way your need to offer a little more by way of reply than just a few arrogant sentences.........!!!!

Could the bolded part be any more provocative?

What makes no sense is voting for independence for our country, which if independent would end up a total mess, we would struggle financially, people that depend on benefits and free nhs treatment/prescriptions could potentially suffer, we can't afford to be independent.

The truth is we would be a poor country.

And before anyone mentions the north sea oil, that's hardly a dependable income.

I love being Scottish and I love my country but I want it to remain as part of the UK.

Most people that want independence have been watching too much Braveheart MIO.

No ... No .... No you are a bit sad and misguided if you cannot appreciate this opportunity to get your Country back after being told what to do by your bigger richer neighbour for over 300 years...!!!

It's as simple as that really it is!!!! Forget the money this ain't about money it's about a nation deciding its own future standing on its own legs and shaping its own destiny ....

For gods sake take the opportunity and grab it with both hands and stop worrying about the possible teething problems...

All Scottish people must surely want to rule their own country

C'mon c'mon its a no brainer vote YES to an independant Scotland

Finally ....!!!!!!

No we aren't a small stupid country but we don't have as much wealth as some seem to think, not all of the north sea oil belongs to us either.

Sure
no problem

I still firmly believe and hope too that Scotland votes to remain part of the UK.
I still doubt that more than 40% of Scots who vote, will vote for independence.

However, I have great admiration for Alex Salmond and I believe the more arrogant at Westminster underestimate how good a politician he really is.
I haven't any time for Nicola Sturgeon but I do consider Alex Salmond very persuasive,if anyone can make a really close battle as to this then he certainly can,especially if the Prime Minister of the UK sits back and does and says nothing or very little.

David Cameron may yet go down in history to be such an even more disastrous PM of the UK that he opened the door to the break up of the UK but also allowed it to happen with little resistance..

I'll tell you what is crazy though.. Scotland is the only country in the world to have discovered oil and become poorer
