Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

Good idea, one with Welsh representation on it would be long overdue.

Maybe but again the poll suggest the vote will be No. I think devo-max will be offered if Yes ever looks like winning as well.

Polls are not always reliable as we all know. I sense though that you are probably right regarding a potential devo max offer intervention because there are a lot of people quite literally bricking it over the very possibility of a split.

If they do that every other English county will want in on the action.

Salmond is busy trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes, he's wasted several thousand pounds of taxpayers money trying to cover up the fact he lied about obtaining legal advice and he wants anything but true independence for Scotland.

One way or another in the extremely unlikely event of a yes vote Scotland will be in a union of sorts with either the rest of the UK or the EU and will have external forces controlling large parts of its economy and future.

Nope. It's clear to anyone with even the most tenuous grip on reality that the SNP will say and do anything to obtain a yes vote and then figure out what on earth they plan to do afterwards.

A few years back fat Alec was singing the praises of the euro and Ireland's economy. Now that's been shown to be a busted flush he is happy the tell everyone he can take all the good bits of the UK and leave the rest behind because it'll just happen.

He has absolutely nothing to fall back on and he's played the labour card of announcing several different giveaways all paid for from the same source.

Yes being carried by England you mean, Alex version of independence proves that, it's like divorcing your wife but coming home each night expecting dinner and sex.

A bit harsh considering we have quite a lot of Scottish posters on here who are against independence!

It's nothing personal and certainly nothing to do with anything anyone here has said, I've been campaigning/ advocating for Scottish independence for many years, imagine my horror when I discovered English people don't get a vote!

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

The young seem to want independence and in the some cases there are many grandparents that will be using their vote for what their grandchildren want. I asked my in laws and my parents as to why they have made this choice to use their vote that way and they simply replied we have had our future ... the future is for the young ... I know my son and 16 of his close friends will be voting independence, I still do not know ... I still am in opinion of we are better as one ... much to my son's horror ...

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?

I've seen a few mock referendum results from schools now and with one exception, following a campaign within the school and a series of debates, the result goes NO with about two thirds of the vote. The same has been the case at a couple of universities.
