Should Scotland be an Independent Country?

  • Yes

  • No

Well done. I think this has only been discussed three times on this thread including the possibility of the march going ahead, the decision by the council and confirmation of the march going ahead about 10 days ago.

Again, well done <applause>

‘It’s your country, now’s the time to have your say’

Get ****ed you raging Queen.

It's a NO from this Man Of The Earth.
 
This currency malarkie is a huge own goal for the SNP. Whilst I do believe there will be at least a temporary currency union and the No campaign are talking pish , the SNP should have seen this coming and had a viable alternative in place.

Scotland will be in a better position than most new countries though if there is no CU . We already have our own currency in circulation. We will just call it ......the pound.
 
EDINBURGH&#8217;S first female Lord Provost has revealed she will vote for independence.

Former Labour stalwart Eleanor McLaughlin said she was convinced a Yes vote in the referendum was the only way to achieve social justice and benefits for all in &#8220;the very rich country that is Scotland&#8221;.

Mrs McLaughlin, who was the Capital&#8217;s civic head from 1988 until 1992, said devolution had worked well and the next logical step was to become an independent state.

Her declaration comes just weeks after Edinburgh STUC general secretary and former Labour regional councillor Des Loughney revealed he was voting Yes.

He said independence offered a better chance of improved living standards for working people than Westminster&#8217;s programme of austerity.

Mrs McLaughlin&#8217;s former colleague on Lothian Region, the then-Labour group leader John Mulvey, is also backing a Yes vote.


Slowly, but surely, Labour voters are starting to see the light.
