Considering Salmond is attempting to dismantle the nation state we were born into and have known all our lives, I think we're entitled to take it personally.

Sorry, but I think you take it too personally.
SNP are putting a question to the scottish folks. Today they released the document to hopefully answer most questions.
It will be then upto the the people registered to vote in Scotland to make the descion. Salmond/Nicola have said for a very long time that we can do things better ourselves. This has been the main base point of Salmond's argument for years.
Sorry, but I don't see whats changed on this??
Edit...after going back some pages on this thread after typing my post. Some people has some mis-guided views on what the SNP represent. The last 6 months before the vote in 2014 are the most important months, taking into account the white paper being released TODAY. I think you will find the voter % will change sharply.
If we talk about assests and finances - I will certainlly say, we have less than 10% of the UK population, we pay more that our 10% in tax pro-rata. We have more or less 90% (please google search it!) of oil reserves where the VAST majoirty does not come back to Scotland. Really, do you need me to do the maths???
No campagin/alistair darling...sorry but if you going to take jibes at big Eck...then I would seriously recommend that you do some homework on AD and find out of how much of a failed politican this guy really is.
I am still waiting on David Cameron's 670 page document of why we shoud stay. I assume we will get a 4 page double sided leaflet through the door with nice bright colours in due course.
Whilst I fully acknoeldge that running no government can be easy, the UK government has done nothing for over a decade to reduce the poverty gap within the UK, making families go to the brink of collapse.
Someone famous once said, decades ago, that the Scotland would never have its own Parliament!
