If I was Scottish and read that, I'd call bullshit and vote no. The 'Yes' Campaign has basically been: ' What would you like?! Vote Yes!' 'Stuff!' ' Okay, you got it! Vote Yes!' 'What, all of it?' ' Fuck it, yeah! Vote Yes!' 'Wow, how?!' ' Doesn't matter. Shut up and stop asking questions. Vote Yes!' |

As an independent country, taking into account all our resources, we’d be among the twenty wealthiest countries on earth - according to analysis by the Financial Times. This puts us ahead of countries such as Italy, France, the UK and Japan. With independence we can make this wealth work much better for the people living here - and that is why a Yes is so important.
So they leave the U.K with all of our pooled resources, and instantly become wealthier than the U.K?!?, not to mention Japan, which i think is the 3 largest economy in the world

In all likelihood, the rest of the UK will enter a recession and Scotland will enter into a depression. The scottish dude (hammond is it?) just appears to be a trouble maker and has no clue about how to run a country, he can't even control the amount of food that enters his mouth. |

The desperation of Cameron to promote a NO vote says it all - they'd lose control over what gas and oil are left but the big thing is all that lovely undeveloped land to solve the housing crisis ;-) Errr, they wouldn't. The gas and oil is property of whoever found it, which was the UK... |

If they vote no Scotland will essentially become the battered wife of world politics. " ok England I will give you one more chance after all you did buy me those petrol station flowers and a terry's chocolate orange".

Turning up late, stinking of gin begging her not to leave. |

Hardly last minute. Did you ever consider the new Devoultion powers were the trump card they deliberately left until the last few days in order to sway the Undecideds? That's who's important in the last week of any election/vote.

I watched a debate on C4 last night with 100 or so undecided in the audience voting with keypads, it switched every 5 mins, at one point 75% went for yes, 5 mins later was 60-40 no. small snapshot obviously, but like Bestie said, the undecided are the guys that win it.

I would of liked to have seen this months ago from the major parties. |

I do think there's an identity crisis in the UK though. I've had the discussion on here before about what's UK, what's Britain, Irish (not Northern) not regarded as foreighners, It all seems messy & i don't see why they shouldn't just move away from the whole thing & create a new country. You could Keep England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland & N.Ireland as states with their own laws & Governments. It happens a lot in Europe.
Am I talking shit?

Whereas Scotland has the same government but isn't the same country. Its fucking weird. And what the fuck is a commonwealth anyway. What do the English have to do with Canada anymore? It's all weird. Just go back to conquering and be done with it. They've let go of some prime real estate in their time. I'm hoping to go to Hong Kong next year. Looks awesome. Nobody goes to the falklands on their holidays but they keep that. |
