Massive decision to be made, no opinion whatsoever mate ?
80% + turnout expected at polls in Scotland.
This could be life changing for us north of the border.
Ignorance is bliss eh !

Didn't mean it to look like that but either way if that's what you want up there then you should go for it, it's just about time we had someone in government with sense

Ah it's cool mate, just wanting to stir a little bit of banter up, would be nice for us Scots to be able to make a mess of things for ourselves !!

You'll come crawling back when you're in a mess like the Irish, but let you lot carry on and we're a soft touch so will bail you out when the inevitable happens.
Now whose currency you gonna use, create your own or move to the Euro?

Now whose currency you gonna use, create your own or move to the Euro? Might just use our own currency the pound, why wouldn't we ? Scotland can rise and be a nation again, 4th biggest on the planet if projections are correct, bailing out not required !

If you want your own independence then surely you can't base it on the strength of the pound and need your own complete identity. Let's hope you're right as the pound has already got weaker based on this vote.

Scotland pulls it's weight as far as the pound goes, we have the resources to fund our own currency, would prefer that we went the whole hog and made a clean break and we stood on our own two feet.
A better funded National Health service, proper care for the elderly and a better Educational system sways me to make a difficult change that will probably see me worse off initially.
Sod trident, the monarchy and greedy fat cats in government, I was better off 10 years ago doing an easier job and the cost of living has went up massively, I have a 3 year old and two teenagers, the schooling system is a disgrace, hospitals are dangerously understaffed and underfunded, almost cost me my wife and daughter.
The rich get rich and the poor are getting trampled on, think I will vote for change as things at this rate are looking pretty grim !
Fortune favours the brave and why the hell not ?

It looks like you'll get your wish and Scotland will get it's independence, form the way I'm seeing things. Will be an interesting few years ahead for all.
Not really got much input on it myself.

It's hanging in the balance, think it will be a no vote by a smidgeon , it's certainly stirred things up and got the attention of a lot of people, in reality I just want a better NHS that is kept public and much better Schooling, just a fairer system for the average man and woman, fed up with the inequalities we see today.
Scotland making it's own decisions and having a voice that actually counts for something would be great.

So basically Gazza you're saying a British government (even labour) is too right leaning for you, and you want to be able to vote for a SNP or Scottish Labour govt which would be more socialist?
But I agree, with the banks starting to wade in about relocating, I think people will start to get jittery and no will edge it.
