    possibly as much as £1.5bn after 10 years as advised to fatso salmond by his advisor.

    do you think everything will be green fields and smelling of roses for ****s sake.

    Where does that 1.5bn come from though?

    How do you know that we wont start to make more money when independent? There is no guarantee that it will cost us anything and it could actually mean us making more money.

    For the no campaign to state it will cost us money then to also state that there is too many uncertainties is a contradiction.

    Which wars have ever been put to a Public vote?

    Anyway it's just my opinion, I don't think there will be enough voting Yes to swing it, I may be wrong but I don't get that feeling from most people I know, most of them are undecided or simply uninterested enough not to vote.

    None but the point is there was talk of a vote on the iraq war but it was stopped because the opinion polls were dead against it. Similar situation here the tories have allowed a vote because they see the chance to finally get rid of the Scottish labour vote in the general election. It can be no surprise that the only papers for the union are all backed by the labour party.

    Talk? It was never going to happen and what you hope to establish by making comparisons with a vote to go to war and a vote for a country's independence is beyond my ken. Those are two entirely unrelated situations. As I said, it's only my opinion, I, like you, have no way of knowing how it's going to go and i'm not going to lose sleep whether it goes one way or another.

    Of course it was never going to happen when the majority were against it but why were the opinion polls showing the majority in favour?

    So now you think they are a waste of time? It wasn't that before you changed your mind.

    Good grief . Eric Vs ER that's a clash of the titans right there :emoticon-0110-tongu

    @ER , at the recent European elections there was a total of 4.04 MILLION people registered to vote in Scotland . That has seen a rise of over 37% over the last year or so . Mainly due to people registering to vote in the referendum . It remains to be seen which way all those new voters will vote .

    So there will be "millions" of yes voters . There will also be "millions" of no voters . You seem to think that the majority of Scotlands 5 million + population is under 16 . You really are thick as ****e .

    @Eric , the Tories didn't allow Scotland a referendum . The Scottish people voted for one when the re-elected a SNP government . There was no way Westminster could veto it regardless of what party was in power .

    After all we do live in a democracy .

    The Tory party gain nothing from Scotland voting yes . The Scottish vote is an irrelevance at Westminster elections . That is one of the main reasons we need independence ffs .

    The only thing a yes vote would give to the Tories and Cameron is the notoriety of being in power as the union fell apart .

    What a load of pish...every Scotsman is pro independence <laugh>

    The majority of people I know are either no or undecided.

    My work place is pretty evenly split between yes, no and undecided with a few who couldn't give a f**k.
