The "yes" campaign for independence wants one million Scots to sign a declaration of support by the time of the referendum in the autumn of 2014. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said independence would happen if that milestone was achieved. The pledge was made at the launch of the Yes Scotland campaign in Edinburgh. However, pro-union supporters believe independence remains largely unpopular among the Scottish electorate and will not happen. The Scottish National Party played a leading role in the campaign, which was launched at Cineworld in Edinburgh and included other parties, celebrities and businesses http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-18162832 How do our resident Jocks see this one going?
I'll be voting Yes. Will be helping the Scottish Independence Convention and all the pro-independence parties, where I can.
No to independence. Slamond is an idiot, he thinks we'll automatically become an oil rich nation Who says that's our oil? and how much is there? If there was so much why do we import the stuff like it's going out of fashion?
I actually 100% agree with this. it's like he's got visions of us becoming the next UAE. It's really not going to work that way
Just because we get independence doesn't automatically mean Salmond has to be in charge It's not the oil I think which would most benefit Scotland, we would be able to set our own business tax rate, at the moment we need to charge the same as London ... we could attract far more financial jobs to our main cities and compete with the English ... right now a lot of our best graduates are fecking off down south because that's where the cash is.
