Should Scotland be an Independent Country?

  • Yes

  • No


Results are only viewable after voting.
It's going to happen folks.

Sane people are getting drunk on the utopian vision and are willing to gamble their future on a flight of fancy.

The truth as always is, you don't know what you've got until it's gone. The stability that the UK has afforded the people of these islands has meant that we are one of the few nations never to have been invaded. We as Scots sit on the UN security council and have a disproportionally loud voice at the G7, G20 and the EU.

I was listening to Radio 4 last night, they had a typically condescending piece on "The Velvet Divorce" between the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Unlike Scotland, the Slovaks never actually voted for separation but what surprised me was that many of the Slovaks regretted the split, it has left them feeling less important and the utopia vision promised by Slovak leaders never transpired.

To quote Homer Simpson;

Was that not Kent Brockman?
 
Probably depressed due to all the natural resources they have in Slovakia eh?

Everywhere else in the world having oil is good.

In Scotland, it's a bad thing.

Bazza Together logic.

more frivolous than whatever point Alex Salmond is trying to get to. ?

What is he actually trying to achieve for Scotland .

seems to me he is more interested in making a name for himself as the man who " freed Scotland from the tyrannical English " , than anything positive .

Ambition his his driving force not the greater good of Scotland.

This is a UNION , to only ask one small part of that union to give its opinion on the union , seems crazy.

seems to me that the many of the Scots are thinking , " things are crap , it cant be any crapper if we separate from England so , why not ."


errr .....yeah ...it can .

What makes them think the rain wont fall on them anymore .
Every day will be a day of milk and Honey now the terrible English are not "ruling " us with their merciless tyranny.

errr..........ok

good luck with that .

So if there's a referendum on the UK leaving the EU, you think the French, Germans etc., should be allowed to vote? After all, it affects them too.
 
SCOTTISH Labour leader Johann Lamont got the wrong No vote today when she took to the SNP heartland -- and was met with closed doors.

The MSP for Glasgow Pollok made a &#8216;behind enemy lines&#8217; visit to Govan, in deputy leader Nicola Sturgeon&#8217;s Govan constituency, to argue the pro-Union case with voters.

But despite an army of Labour supporters knocking doors, only three residents engaged in conversation with her - while several even came outside to return the leaflets pushed through their letter boxes.


Oh dear, looks like things are going from bad to worse for Better Together.
