Personally i think its just a hype for the leaders in Scotland to simply farm their own country, much like others who wanted independence.
What exactly will this freedom mean if Scotland gets it?.
What exactly do scottish people seriously expect to change for the better from this.
And finally, do scottish people have ps3s?.
That was spiffing.

As someone who's hoping for the economy not to get screwed over, I'm hoping for a 'No' vote.

I only ever see idiots who are in favour of segregation and separating things even more with these kinds of things.
This seems like the kind of idea that was nurtured in some dingy little village local pub after about 10 pints of bitter.

The idea of independence is quite a romantic proposition for many, though.
I'd much rather we stuck together, personally. Putting aside the potential economic disaster, I've grown quite attached to the Union Jack.

Yeah it's just pointless.
What is the actual hope when Scotland has many issues being part of the UK as it is?.
Seems dumb until i see anything that is 100% going to make things better other than hope and rhetoric.

Boy, I hate being Half-English Half-Scottish.
No. I honestly just see a self-dependent Scotland being all great and good till it goes bust and comes crying to David Cameron to be part of the UK again. I also dont fancy having to go through airport style check-ins everytime I get a train from London to Glasgow. Or passport checks on the A1.
Before Non-Brits get confused, simply no. My Scottish family agrees.

Yeah.
I'm British and i don't want it simply because of what you said, why ruin the unity we have?. No one wants to see a country begging like some slag and especially if it is one that is considered part of the same country by most. The idea of freedom is nice but what it actually would mean is a pile of sht. Every time a country gains freedom, it gets farmed by those at the top.
I have seen people saying stupid sht like 'we will get the oil reserves and it will make Scotland wealthy', this is complete crap as the oil is owned by BP which is a corporation, not a country. Scotland won't get any of that oil and nothing will change, business will be as usual for BP regardless.
Aargh, i can see so much crap coming from this. 5.295 million (as of 2011) people is just not enough for borrowing confidence and it was Scotland's own king who inherited England who united both countries in the first place.

Wales - it is highly integrated with England economically and socially, and support for independence is at very low levels.
NI - far less integrated and there is significant support for leaving the UK. Nevertheless there will remain a unionist majority who favour remaining part of the UK, whether Scotland is in it or not. |

I hate to sound like some tw@ but i don't consider the UK as a massive population and it isn't.
Now lets look at Scotland, maybe 6 million people now? (5.295 million as of 2011). what country is going to have confidence with lending or anything at all with a country that is so small?, as if the UK wasn't a tiny fking islannd already eh?, lol.
I mean, fk me, Scotland won't even have the population to even bullsht that they can pay back what they lend lol.
Scotland will AT LEAST be going through a very long and painful transition that will last years, i hope the people understand what they are ACTUALLY getting when tax goes up and all the niceties now cost considerable money.
It's a nice notion and my hat goes off to it but the reality is that an independent Scotland would be very dysfunctional and 'Ne one' would want to have anything to do with them where business is concerned.
Especially after the threat of not paying back any of the debt that it is liable for, morally, not legally. I'm not sure how credible the source i got that one from is.
Again i keep seeing the word 'unity' in the vote, what a fking contradiction lol.

It's going to screw Scotland for the foreseeable future and it's shocking that so many think they are different to those south of the border when we are on a tiny little island.
Trust me, a lot of it is based on pipe dreams, right wing rhetoric and day dreamers.
All facts have been avoided for the most part.

I realize that. That is why I am not regurgitating the same crap I am reading here or on google. 1 morning's worth of research does not make me an expert nor would I feel like my opinion would hold much merit. Even less Merit because I am not from scotland nor am I anywhere near there.
However doesn't mean it doesn't matter to me. Many people are going to be affected by this in one way or another. It is just interesting to know how they would be affected... What are the facts? why do this? what are the benefits? What are the cons?

Too much to list and benefits maybe around 100 years down the line if they can avoid a corrupt government. This Scottish utopia idea would also be almost unable to function with the rest of the world but done right, wouldn't have to.
The whole thing moves further away from the global realisation that we are all human and more towards borders and boundaries.

It also seems a little wtf to me that the future can get so drastically altered by a wafer thin margin. Independence has huge consequences. What if it wins 51-49? What about the 49% who didn't want to go? Feels awkward, especially if they get screwed economically as badly as it looks like they will.

Many people are going to be affected by this in one way or another. It is just interesting to know how they would be affected... What are the facts? why do this? what are the benefits? What are the cons? I will give some socio-economic facts
Scotland has an 8.4% share of UK population. 9.3% of UK public spending is in Scotland, so it spends more -ú per head. For the latest period with published figures (2012-13) it contributed 9.1% of tax revenues, including its revenues from its geographic share of oil and gas. So Scotland received marginally more than it contributed in the last year.
UK and Scottish growth are between 2.5% and 3% per year, with unemployment around 7%. This compares highly favourably with the Eurozone (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc), which has 0.1% growth and unemployment of 11.5%. The relative stability of the British -ú is one of the drivers of the Scottish economy.
Scotland's economy is highly integrated with that of the rest of the UK. 70% of Scotland's exports are to the rest of the UK (rUK). Therefore, there is a great economic benefit to being in a common currency area with the rUK, as is presently the case within the UK. This benefit would probably be lost on independence (all UK parties are opposed to a currency union in the event of independence), and Scottish exporters would suffer transaction costs and reduced competitiveness in their primary market.
As part of the UK, Scotland has wide access to overseas markets through organizations such as the EU and the WTO. Scottish entry to these organizations would have to be negotiated on independence. This may prove to be impossible. For instance, entry to the EU requires unanimity among current members, including the UK and Spain, which is motivated to deter its own secessionist movements. Even were Scotland to enter the EU, it would have to agree to accept the troubled Euro as its currency.
The UK is presently ruled by the centre-right Conservative party. Scotland is traditionally more left-leaning. The Conservatives are hated by many in Scotland. One longstanding source of resentment is the introduction of the despised Poll Tax in Scotland in 1989, prior to its introduction elsewhere in the UK (the tax has long since been repealed).
Though control over the National Health Service, along with many other public services, is devolved to the Scottish Parliament, the Scottish National Party (SNP) claim that they are threatened with privatization by the Conservatives. This claim has never really been explained. Indeed, the SNP presently control the NHS in Scotland as they have a majority in the Scottish Parliament, and have (ironically) themselves privatized parts of the health service.
A big part of the appeal of independence is the (supposed) opportunity to create a 'fairer' Scotland. Again, the SNP's claim in this respect is puzzling. They have had the power to increase income tax in Scotland for many years but have never done so. Their only firm tax proposal for an independent Scotland is a reduction in corporation tax, which hardly seems like a move motivated by 'fairness'.
TL;DR Reasons to stay within UK - high level of economic performance, retention of the -ú, continued EU membership, etc. Reasons to leave UK - nationalism I guess? |

Solid post, Ryme.
@Spade - his point was that the UK is spending more on Scotland per head than they're spending on England per head, as well as received more from the UK than it gave to the UK.
I really just don't understand why you'd want to leave the UK. 'Independence' is a romantic concept I suppose, but I just can't see any real world benefits to doing it.

But why though? I'll probably get some flak for this, but it seems to me that the UK is holding them back. Renegotiations of the oil fields would have to happen (because of the whole "they're in someone elses territory now" thing, the deal over them is with the UK currently, not Scotland) so the Scots could make a fair bit from that. And there's the fisheries too. And government, the tories are in power at the moment, but few Scots actually voted for them. They're horrendously under-represented in west minister. The nukes in Scotland would(should) be gone as well, and the less nukes in the world the better off everyone will be. Finally, now that this whole thing is under way, I'd be fearful that if at this stage a no vote was cast things could get worse for Scotland. A sort of "We're going to make sure you can't try this again" kind of deal.
I'm sure there's legitimate reasons to stay, but I believe that'd be the wrong decision.

Except this money is already going into the Scottish economy.

Indeed. That's not necessarily a reason to leave the Union, though - negotiating increased powers, as is already happening, seems like a much safer way of dealing with this.
Quote: The nukes in Scotland would(should) be gone as well, and the less nukes in the world the better off everyone will be.
The nuclear weapons wouldn't be disposed of. The Trident program would move base to the US.
Quote: Finally, now that this whole thing is under way, I'd be fearful that if at this stage a no vote was cast things could get worse for Scotland. A sort of "We're going to make sure you can't try this again" kind of deal.
This hints at the idea of the 'neverendum' - if at first you don't succeed, ask for another vote! I'm not sure how well it's going to go down either way. There's similar levels of backing for both sides at the moment. What if one side wins by a knife edge? How would pro-Unionists react to independence? I can see the nationalists being upset if they don't get it, but this is a really close thing.
The idea of a 'Yes' vote is upsetting to me as a Brit. From a purely selfish viewpoint, if Scotland goes independent, I might get screwed economically as well. Just because of some pre-referendum polls, the value of the pound has already started to drop. There's been a general sell-off of British assets similar in scale to the 2008 crash. That's pretty terrifying to me as someone who would like a stable economy. With the pound, we weathered the eurozone crisis pretty well. Having another crisis does not appeal.
Another reason might be for my own 'nationalist' reasons. Personally, when asked for my nationality, I say 'British' rather than 'English'. If you were to ask what flag I counted myself under, I would think of the Union Jack. It's extremely unsettling to think that the flag I've grown up with might change drastically from circumstances far beyond my control.
And it's really frustrating because I can't see the benefits of it. I don't understand why people want this other than because of some romantic idea of independence. If Scotland goes, everyone loses economically in a massive administrative headache. For what, exactly? Everything I've heard from the 'Yes' campaign seems to be talking about a 'vision' for Scotland and alternates between bashing the 'No' campaign (and although that's pretty typical for politics, there's an awful lot of it going on) and talking about dreamy ideas which don't seem to have any substance.

@Spade - his point was that the UK is spending more on Scotland per head than they're spending on England per head, as well as received more from the UK than it gave to the UK. Ah, per head, fair enough. Quote: I really just don't understand why you'd want to leave the UK. 'Independence' is a romantic concept I suppose, but I just can't see any real world benefits to doing it.
He says with an Irishman reading If I were Scottish and voting, I reckon I'd vote to leave. I honestly believe Scotland can and should stake it out on their own. Am I right? Who knows. Maybe, maybe not. (Tech says no.) Of course the irish independence situation was very different, they were repressed by the british and denied basic rights. They basically had to be independent if they wanted a decent future. It was about as far different from the scottish situation - where as i mentioned, scots receive more public spending per person than the english do - as one can imagine.
Of course theres also the other difference that historically the scots werent the victims of the british empire but arguably its keenest proponents and beneficiaries... |

Losing Scotland would actually be more of a blow to the Labour party than David Cameron's party. That's pretty annoying, given some of the ridiculous ideas about leaving the EU that've been spouted. (I'm probably going to get a bit divisive here.) It's amusing to me that the one thing that both the 'Yes' and 'No' groups agreed on was to screw UKIP-esque ideas like that. "Yes or no, UKIP has got to go" is a great chant, IMO.

Well... Okay? By 'twatzs down south' do you mean everyone in the south or the politicians in particular? If it's the politicians, I wholeheartedly agree. If it's everyone, then why? It's not like the common man can do much, here.

So far, there has been 100% no substance but hope that i have seen. Some very well presented tosh that can be mooted very swiftly.
Again.
Has anyone got 100% proof and facts that can sway my mind?, i have asked far and wide and not actually seen anything.
Some key points.
The land owned by foreigners to be taken back - they bought it, enough said.
The oil and BP - Yeah BP owns it, enough said.
RBS to move to London and abandon Scotland - does this need explaining lol?.
Too low a population to borrow money - No confidence in lending (not even a pipe dream would suffice to justify lending to 6 million people unless it was tiny).
Looses seats and rights in important positions to be taken seriously - goodbye G5 etc, welcome to mediocrity.
University and prescriptions will now cost - enough said.
Tax rises - enough said.
Thats only a bit of whats to come. Is all that really freedom though?. And if the world followed the same logic with some of that then we'd all be fked, all of us, you can't simply claim something that is owned and paid for.
Seriously, can anyone please just fking show me something that isn't a pipe dream or some hocus pocus bullsht that will actually benefit Scotland?, some actual fking reality in the matter please.

Please try and dispute this with some facts, be the first to actually talk sense.
Then we can move on to the fact that no one will want to do business with a country who not only blatantly wants to shoot themself in the foot, but also has too small a population for borrowing, too small for growth and has destroyed a perfectly good economic system whereby it benefits a hell of a lot and in fact will now be much worse off.

The reason being independent will be better for you and for Scotland is simple. Being independent will mean the people who care most about Scotland GÇô the people who live in Scotland GÇô will be taking the decisions about our future. The people of Scotland have the greatest stake in making our nation a success. That means we are more likely to make the right choices for our society and our economy - and to make decisions that mean our huge wealth delivers far greater benefits for the people living here. Even David Cameron has said: GÇ£Supporters of independence will always be able to cite examples of small, independent and thriving economies across Europe such as Finland, Switzerland and Norway. It would be wrong to suggest that Scotland could not be another such successful, independent country.GÇ¥ ~ David Cameron As an independent country, taking into account all our resources, weGÇÖd 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. Precisely how each person in Scotland can benefit depends on their individual circumstances: our young families will see a huge increase in childcare provision with all three and four year olds entitled to 1,140 free hours per year; for our younger people we can use our wealth and control over our tax system to attract more employers to invest in Scotland, creating more and better local jobs. This means more opportunities for young people, closer to home, keeping families together GÇô a powerful legacy from a Yes vote; people with disabilities will see the hated Work Capability Assessments scrapped and carers will benefit from an increase to Carer's Allowance worth -ú575; for our rural communities we can bring Royal Mail back into public ownership, and ensure fair delivery charges; for hard-pressed households we can take action to tackle rising energy bills, and ensure that benefits, tax credits and the basic rate tax allowance always keep up with rising living costs; for our older people we can ensure that the state pension increases by at least 2.5%, or in line with the cost of living or earnings, as part of a GÇÿtriple-lockGÇÖ protection. And Scottish Government plans would see new pensioners receiving -ú160 per week under the single tier pension GÇô around -ú5 a week or -ú260 per year higher than as part of the UK; our businesses will benefit from economic policy being designed for Scotland; and we'll all benefit by being able to properly protect and invest in world class public services, including a quality NHS and education system, and from investing in a 'rainy day' oil fund, providing security for the future. Today, we have a government in Westminster that most of us did not vote for, and yet that government is able to take major decisions that impact on families and communities in Scotland. As an independent country we will always get the government Scotland chooses GÇô a government that will take forward policies designed to meet the needs of people in Scotland. We can elect the government we think cares most about Scotland GÇô a government that will look after the interests of people living here. That means we can choose a better path. And it means we will be able to focus 100% on making Scotland better. The future will be ours to decide. We will be able to make Scotland the country we all know it can be. Scotland is a very wealthy country - let's make it feel like it!
That's the best I have found and most of that is again just hopeful rhetoric which ignores many, many things. It is also all based on self centred crap, imagine If the UK wanted what was best for it, Scotland, Wales and Ireland would be fked.
I can debunk that whole list with mitigating factors that halt it all but I'll await dome replies. Hopefully someone has some kind of untouchable, 100% good reason for this 'independence' lol.
Well that was spiffing!.

Oh facts are opinions now?, so RBS alone wanting to ditch Scotland and move down south isn't bad?, that's just my opinion?. Are you one of those people who seems to think that definite actualities are debatable?.

I didn't mean you either. That should have been obvious as you are not gaining a wage from your opinion are you.

Of course but they will be having nothing to do with Scotland if they get their 'independence' and they are the main bank in Scotland.

man, the way your talking its as if the entire planet is going to ostracise scotland for daring to be independent, which could very well happen seeing how morally bankrupt most politicians are
so im going to say one last thing, have a little faith baby, have a little faith

Because patronising is better than having a point, beats reality and surpasses definite actualities.
You can stick your faith up your arse sunshine.
And economically speaking, there will be zero confidence in scotland,. If you can't see that then I shouldn't have even wasted time replying yo you.
Enjoy your smooth exit lol.
Well that was spiffing!.

Not at all.
You are just not looking at it objectively and not looking at the actual impact it will have.
Hope and faith means fk all in these matters.
Peace.

Nice, im seriously glad for you guys.
I couldn't give a fk about feel good political hopes, the economics don't lie and salmond is a day dreaming clown.
your future is secure, thank fk.
Lets say Scotland had gotten independence. You'd be fked for the next 100 years roughly, maybe longer and you'd have become dependent on other countries, so much seriously, i am very happy for my Scottish brethren, life can go on.
Just remember, as much as we hate the government, its not actually as bad as people think, we have one of the best governments in the world and we can do economics like a beast.
I am happy. No one likes to see a whole country go to sht.
Together we are united!, together, we are strong!.
DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA lol.

Yea man for all of the **** we have, we should be grateful that we live in a country where we still have freedoms. There is nothing physically stopping us from changing our country for the better.
Jesus just take one look at places like North Korea or parts of the middle east, or most of Africa...... Yea I am proud and happy to be British =D
