Most Scots if they do their homework will find that they are currently favourably served by the Union and so why fix it if it aint broke. From free prescriptions to free Student grants to free old peoples homes Scotland does quite well when compared to their English cousins.
But it's not really about the head it's more a feeling from the heart, it's about a Country deciding it's own fate, making it's own laws and standing (or falling) on it's own feet. This is a great opportunity for Scotland to finally decide it's own fate and I for one hope they achieve Independence but have a feeling they will narrowly vote to stay in the Union. .

i think they should do whatever is best for scotland.....it will come down to economics mainly....trade, taxes, self determination, the pound etc
I really wish them well if they do go it alone....fantastic country on the whole. perhaps as an independent nation they may have a better chance of tackling the issues of crime drugs binge drinking as the rule makers will be closer to home. its never an ideal situation to be run by another country. |

Yes under the Rules has agreed to stay out of it. http://news.sky.com/story/1332713/pm...campaign-panic ![]() The PM and the Labour leader are both going to Scotland so no PMQ's for those 2, tomorrow Shouting Harmen will take over the Labour side and W. Hague for Conservative for PMQs Last edited by arista; 09-09-2014 at 12:25 PM. |

What the yes campaign are promising. They can't be certain about it.
The risk is to high, leaving the Uk would be disastrous for Scotland. I hate how some Scottish people need Scotland to be independent to validate themsves as Scottish. I'm Scottish, and Scotland being an independent country isn't going to change how Scottish I am.

I heard over 100 MP's are planning to rush up to Scotland in a last minute desperate attempt to shore up the No vote.
The Yes camp are calling it " The Charge of the sh ite Brigade" .

Vote no, for security and a better opportunities.
Vote yes if you want scotland to fail.

Scotland is much stronger when it's part of the United Kingdom! Why anybody would want to break away from a union that's been working together since 1707 is beyond me. It's been stated that Scotland will gain more powers in Westminster, What the yes voters are promising CANNOT be promised.

I'm happy with Scotland having more say in Westminster, which would allow the discussions of nuclear weapons be brought up. I think to leave UK based on that is absurd. There have been so a many great things THe Uk have done together and to break away from it just hinders people in Scotland's opportunities, businesses, security.
And artista why are you so struck on getting rid of scotland?

Worked together in wars, helped other countries out with aid etc.
I don't see why people would want to leave, all I see it as over patriotics that feel the need to prove themselves to be Scottish. I am voting no because it's the safer and better choice for my future and my families future, the yes campaign cannot guarantee what they are promising and when it fails there're is no going back and Scotland will be screwed. I am not here for leaving a union that has been together since 1707 and something I have grown up with due to there being nukes in the country, which LOTS of countries have. Oil will run out, then what Scotland? Cry to England, Wales and Nortthern Ireland for help? NO CHANCE.
