chris27292729: Voting is about Staying or Parting with the UK. Non Scots+Scots, you voting??? Nay or Yay???
Those petty-minded, opportunistic morons - many from Aberdeen - may very well win the day and go independent.
I don't want Scotland to leave. But if they do this will both directly and indirectly strengthen my political viewpoint in England. In fact, the Scots with more than a few brain cells should take note of the fact that English politicians who will make electoral gains from Scotland leaving are still telling the Scots that leaving is a bad idea.
I hope Scotland do leave. They have a handout mentality there because of being bolted to England. Better for them to face harsh reality. THey'll be better for it in the long run.

A slight edge on Yay so far according to the polls.

That's a good argument against Democracy.
I just hope they remember a few years from now when they can no longer afford a national health service, the country's bankrupt and they're in a remarkably similar position to you guys in Greece that they chose this future for themselves.

They might not be the only ones that can't afford a national health system in years to come, either.

I think that line is Satanic. And I think it's just asking to get skinned and hung from an ivory tower. The fallout from Scotland leaving would be massive. It's too much damage to do to prove an ideological point. Surely there's a better way of weaning people off welfare.

Yea communities might come together more and actually feel proud to be a scot and get some ideas together,
Welfare a real burden to most EU countries.The system has been abused systematically for decades in most EU countries.

Should I go or should I stay.,,, ,the ex used to sing that,,

Health services are a good aspect of the welfare state both in principle and in practice. It's one thing to be angered at the number of people sponging a living on benefits or aimlessly employed in some useless govt department or regulated industry, it's quite another to think that the sick should die in the streets.
It's good for a parent country like England to give their blessing when Scotland gain independence, .gordon brown and Cameron shouldn't be like an overprotective parent dashing up to try and convince them to vote now,..
They will promise the scots lots but there will be a price,,,their souls..
I'm sure the scots will vote on their own merit regardless
