I see many are undecided, but the pound is only going to make people say 'No' to independence as the people know the pound is a noose around the neck for a small nation like this.

New currency, no monarchy, oil invested into pensions, Scotland can be great.
Losing the pound appears to ve swaying many undecided voters according to recent polls and losing the pound would likely lead to them aiming for the Euro, which is a much better currency than the pound
They don't need the pound which is currently making Britain poorer all round with quantitative easing and currency debasement and the ever expanding national debt. Obviously they shouldn't take on the Euro as that is a condemned currency too.

Scotland should start its own currency and there are several possible ways of doing that. Salmond seems intent on Sterling and keeping the monarchy which isn't Independence. He needs to move away from things that have failed.
