Should Scotland be an Independent Country?

  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
Wouldn't bother me to be honest. It does not have to be like that though, we could have our own currency called the pound like we do now and underwtrite it ourselves if needs be.

Okay. Thanks for the answer.

England is awash with oil and gas onshore you ****in bell end. Plus they will not have to subsidise the central belt of scotchland, that will be up to us, Shetland, the western isles and the highlands.

No, what I'm expecting. Westminster is ****ting it. They thought they had the indy ref in the bag. Now they see it slipping away they're panicking big style. Make no bones about it, rUK will struggle without Scotland. That's why Cameron, Brown, Osborne et al. are desperately trying to woo undecideds with promises of jam tomorrow.

One of the reasons why so many are turning to Yes in Scotland is because they see England sliding so far to the right as both the Tories and Labour try to appease middle England. I feel sorry for those south of the border who want a centre or slightly left of centre option when they go to vote in an election - their simply isn't one. The Tories are more to the right now than they were under Thatcher. Labour are on a par with Major's Tories. Lib Dems? Would go into power with anyone.

IF Scotland gets her independence and rUK votes to leave the EU in 2017 (as I expect they will under an onslaught from the right-wing media and political parties) then you're going to be ****ed.

Typical ****ers idyllic view.
 
You're bored because you are too thick to understand anything longer than 3 sentences. I will therefore restrict myself to 2, but you still won't get it.

I get that you are rather a pathetic specimin. You're not hard to understand though. If I came from a rank ****hole like Tottenham, perhaps I'd be wrapping myself up in someone else's culture the same way you are. I doubt it, but maybe.
 
In 1707 after some catastrophic bad business deals Scotland was on it's knees facing bankrupcy and total ruin as a nation. Meanwhile England had never had it so good, trade deals all over the world bring massive wealth. So being nice people the English invited Scotland to join a Union of Great Britain and for over three hundred years the Scots have had a good standard of living being dependent on the generosity of the English. In more recent times the Scots realising the potential wealth of North Sea oil coupled with the realisation that England is not such a rich nation anymore decide to **** off.

Three hundred years of a free meal ticket funded by the decent English nation and you treat us like ****. Well **** you you treacherous ****s.

**** you <grr>
