hypothetical situation, if YES happens, will all the english in Scotland and all the Scots in England be then considered immigrants? or is there an automatic freedom of movement system set up between the 2 countries?

will anyone be kicked out?

I'm hoping its a "No" and if that is the case I hope the "Yes" voters accept with good grace. I firmly believe we are better together.

If there is a "Yes" result I'll buy as much as I can from Scottish suppliers to support their economy. What more can we do!

I'll be very upset if we lose the Union Flag! OMG! It has to be a "No" tomorrow!

Well they won't be independent immediately even if they vote Yes, sometime early 2016 is I think the date they are aiming to finalise all the negotiations etc. they'll almost certainly be a freedom of movement agreement plus Scotland will be looking to join the EU which will make it guaranteed anyway

Maybe the UK could still exist, just without England!

I think they will vote "YES". I think the majority of them (small or moderate) have wanted independence for so long that they don´t want to let possibly the opportunity to "rid" themselves of England slide away.

Do i think it´s a wise choice. I´m not sure as in the event that they vote "YES" and gain independence from England, they have to build everything from scratch (government, army, relations to other countries, economy, health care and legal system and trade etc. pretty much their whole infrastructure system...).

umm, i didn't align it, your media aligns it. i constantly see arctic.es on british websites saying that anyone who displays the st. george's flag must be an EDL nationalist racist, right??? I'm not making it up.

I didn't just imagine it.

No matter how anyone may be voting tomorrow, for or against,I hope the day goes well and that the result will be more decisive than is expected either way.

I have loved reading the views of those from Scotland,being of Scottish ancestry on my Dad's side and having two Brothers who were born in Scotland too,it is a Nation I absolutely love.

All best wishes to all of you in Scotland on what is a really massive day for you all and for that beautiful Country.

If there is a yes vote I think I will feel completely negatively about it. I think the SNP and Salmond and co have made promises that not only don't stack up - they know they don't stack up.

There will be years of political turmoil and arguments with the English and other parts of the United Kingdom. Huge issues that have been practically skated over in the debating that will need sorted. Scots - in general and those living in England - could face resentment.

I just read an interesting line someone said - there's no such thing [in the world] as a successfully divided island.

Stick together.

it's true, we ll love our fuzzy red haired scottish brothers and sisters. *pats the gingers on the head* we love you!

The truth is, it will shake up the english political elite, because all 3 major parties will be failures if YES wins. and maybe that's a good thing.

I'm fucvking sick of Cameron and Clegg and Miliband, i think all of the english elites need to rethink their political leaders, cause of all of them are BITTER disappointments.

I think Hillary should become leader of the labour party.

You have made some really great contributions to this debate Lostalex.

As for Hilary,I for one would welcome her with open arms to our politics as a leader, I am a strong admirer of Hilary.
