Only taken a glancing interest in this and had no idea which way I would vite if I was Scottish but I have just been listening to the news and the chap mentioned that the voter total in Scotland is only 4% of the total number of voters in the UK. This statement set my mind racing and a quick look at the population figures on line my maths puts the scottish population at 8% of the Uk. So having just watched a chap on a ferry delivering one lot of ballet papers and talk of the votes being collected by airplanes it strikes me it is a large country to be giving the full Uk services ( roads' Hospital services' postal system etc) the per head could be very high. I think if I was Scottish I would have to be very pissed off with the UK to want to risk breaking away.

And yet you're happy for a handful of eton toffs and banksters to hold the UK's 60 million population to ransom?

I get your point, politics I am not interested in doing the job myself so its done by others, there is a lot could be said on this point alone the only thing I will say is the BRITISH have a habit of fighting back if politicians go to far in the wrong direction. The saddest thing in my opinion is how the British population have allowed themselves to be so stupid and unrealistic with their money, the easy credit so you can have it today sod tomorrow. The result is that the UK is in  debt so deep it will take generations to clear it, no one is even trying. So Scotland votes for independence if they get it I hope the funds are there to pay for the life style they wish for.
If they have it sussed they will pay high taxes and go with out while they build up an infrastructure that produces free energy Ie wind turbines, Hydro, wave and tidal electric generating plants. this will produce wealth and once it rolls in start spend. I wonder how that will go down as an idea?
I also believe that the UK is allowed to continue in its indebted state because it is so stable it is a preferred home for the rich and wealthy, lets hope if I m right that it stays stable.
