Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Don’t mean to exclude anyone however this will work best if it’s voted on by our Scottish members only.

So 2014 how do you plan to vote? Yes or No for independence.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Voted No because that's how I'll vote.
It's not only the SNP that concerns me either in an independent Scotland!
Disagree all you want with Smarmy Salmond but he's one of the best opportunistic politicians there's ever been.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

What I want to know is why the Scots get the right to vote on whether to leave or not, but the rest of the UK doesn't get a choice. Surely we should have a right to decide if to kick the Scots out or not?

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Your right and I do agree with you. You guys pay taxes to the UK government as we do.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

think it be a no vote not voting here as not Scottish and be so unfair to vote here

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Especially as well over 50% (think it was nearer 70% but can't remember) of English people would vote to leave the UK, democracy in action...

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

The Scottish can vote for independence as they joined the union, where as Wales was conquered by the English many many years ago and strictly should ask if they can have independence.

Personally if they want it give them both it, but they have to take there share of any debt, have there own currency (NOT sterling) and expect handouts.

But the only thing that should be united it protection of this great island.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

It's on the agenda for Scots because of the Nats so we are having a debate about it.


I don't think there's enough groundswell support for England leaving the UK but some form of devolution may be well supported. There doesn't seem to be any intention for the main political parties to include that in their manifestos so even that may not be the case.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Because people have the right to self-determination. If they don't want to be ruled from Westminster that is their right and it's fair and proper to allow them the vote. There is no equivalent right for members of a nation to revoke that nationality from others.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

but it would bee possiable/fair to england (and/or) wales (and/or) NI to vote to leave the UK leaving Scotland as the only member :P

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Given how rule from westminster is working out for many parts of england i'd like the opputunity to vote to leave westminster rule but neve going to happen so not only the scots that have the right to self determination.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

My own personal opinion is when it comes down to the vote a considerable amount of Scottish people will vote against Independence.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

If I could, then I would vote for independence. Then I won't get abuse for not supporting Murray. That, and I don't think it is fair that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland get things that English people have to pay for. Prescription charges for one thing.

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Really? I think it's very fair ;)

Re: Scottish Independence - The Cable Forum Vote
 

Our government set it up, hows it unfair? I love it as need a lot of medication.

Also free nhs eye tests in Scotland.
