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?

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

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.

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.

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
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.
