    Terrible, they are a cliche, a throwback. Does the lead singer not wear a harness instead of a shirt?

    Huh??????

    2013 GDP per capita

    Ireland - $47,400
    UK - $39,351

    http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD

    Eurostat

    And further evidence as to why Scotland may not necessarily be "Better Together" with the UK

    Not the most up to date but still illustrates the point

    Historically yes but they all speak English (albeit a shocking version of it) and any of them with any ambition jump straight on a boat to get into a decent college or university.

    I'm no so sure it will be as decisive as he thinks tomorrow. I still speak to a few from my time up there and theres definitely an appetite for voting Yes.

    Orcadians and Shetlanders overwhelmingly voted against Scottish devolution in 1979. I also read somewhere that the No vote is around 75% in the Shetland Islands based on some polls.

    It'll be a No definitely. I'm just not so sure it will be as high a no as he expects.

    He said it only has to be 60% or more in favour of the Union for the Northern Isles to get their own referendum.

    Well if they want it they'll be given a crack at it I'm sure.

    Or are you suggesting a Scottish government wouldn't let it?

    Never. Why would an independent Scotland deny the Northern Isles a referendum on their future? It would be hypocrisy of the highest order. Some people on the Yes campaign (not saying you) will likely see that article and scream "Project Fear" and "scaremongering from the Westminster Establishment".

    The Northern Isles will get their referendum if both of these things occur:

    1. Scotland votes Yes and becomes an independent state.

    2. The Northern Isles voted 60% or more in favour of the Union.

    If this does occur, the negotiations regarding maritime borders will get very, very interesting to say the least.
