[Sir Tigger KC]

With just over 10 days to go before the independence referendum an opinion poll from YouGov has put the Nationalists in front at 51%.  I always thought that the 'Canny Scots' would resoundingly vote No, but now I'm not so sure.    The debate is heating up and I bet there have been some raging arguments over Scottish dinner tables of late! 

To be honest with more powers promised to The Scottish Government in the event of a No vote (Bribery!) I'm starting to think that they might as well become independent anyway! 

One thing's for sure if they do vote Yes, then the divorce will be a long drawn out messy and costly affair that affect us all wherever you are in the UK.

And therein lies the rub as Bill Shakespeare would say.

If Scotland gets independence it will cost every citizen of the UK millions, possibly billions to disentangle. So how come the rUK don't get to vote ?

Well that fugly bitch, Ms Sturgeon has already declared that if its a "No Vote" they will re run it within 5 years 
In other words, keep picking away at the scab until they get the result they want 

Got to admit though, the SNP has played a blinder when it was excepted that 16 year olds can vote because I think that could win it for them and lets be honest here, what does the average 16 year old know about the real world 

I fear we are going to end up with a situation like Canada has with Quebec and believe me, that will destroy what's left of the union   

As for so called "devo max" bribe that all parties are going on about, I say 'dangle berries' to it 
Live by the union rules or go 

And before somebody thinks i'm some sort of jock hater, i'll tell you i'm 4 generation English and proud but there is a statue of my best known ancestor on top of a hill near Stirling

I've read elsewhere that Salmond intends to retire in the event of a Yes vote soon after the referendum. 

Here's some rough figures.

4.4 million eligible to vote in the referendum.

Estimated 80% turnout so 3.52 million will actually vote.

If it's a close majority in favour of independence, say 55% then that means that approximately 1.94 million people will decide the fate of a country of 66 million.   

That's democracy for you folks!

The problem is if the 4.4 million all vote for one party,   the other 60 odd million out vote them every time.

If Trout Face actually wins he'll shit imsen. They want the so called 'Devo Max' and that is the reason the SNP have no answer to the currency, defence, debt, EU, security ETC ETC.
I pray they vote yes, 40 less Liebour MP's and a drain on our economy 're free prescription and tuition fees.
Train our young employed building skills, Hadrian needs a wall rebuilding.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I hope the people of Scotland  vote 'yes'.

We (The  english taxpayer ) have subsidised this inhospitable northern province for far too long.

Do the scotch in Corby get a vote,
A Ghost town, the new Guantanamo for our jihadists.

Well said Davie. A very small number of people on here are all big and brave on a computer.

[Lizzie_Zoom]

Let the Scots decide their future in the forthcoming voting.

That is democracy, so be it,and best of luck to them whatever their decision.

[davieboy0312]
