I agree.

However the way the referendum has been, rather cleverly, set up means that there are no "certainties". Ergo neither side (no matter the outcome) is tied to the current status quo.

It seems absolutely crazy that after all these decades of talk on the matter, that nobody really knows what is going to happen with a yes vote. There has been plenty of time to thrash out the issues.
