    Default Should Scotland stay in the UK?

    David Bowie says 'Yes', whilst I say no. What do you say about Scots independance?

    I say no because I want to see the Scots freed from the tyranny of the UK. To do so they need to get rid of the pound though. They would be a perfect sized country and one with minimal oil reserves which could be used like in the Norweigian system. Freed from the slavery of the pound and the huge debt burden, Scotland would have many options open to it. I urge them to vote yes, and to keep the option open for me to join with them one day as I prefer them to the strange place with an obsession with an incredibly bankrupt London which deserves to sink under its latest property bubble crash.

    What do you want for Scotland? Freedom or more of the same?

    Such is the class of the contemporary English. They don't care less as they think the London leech will hold it all together. Personally, I want Scottish devolution to be the start of new devolutions and for London to rot on it's own in a pile of debt, hung in a noose a bare square mile long.

    London isn't British and step by step Britain needs to pull from the London vortex of oppression and debt. Leave them on their own in a bastardised non English city and let them furrow on. Eventually Britain will just invade London again and teach them some manners. And give the Queen a 3 month bus driving course. Silly old bitch.

    I want Scotland to stay with us, look how the USA failed when they left us.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    No, they should stay and retain the prestige of being the largest county in England.

    The problem is that they want to keep the pound...

    They want to play at being an independent country for romantic and anti monarch reasons but want the crutch of blaiming the UK via the pound when it doesn't work.

    There's a reason they want 16 year olds able to vote on it.

    I feel independence would not be of any benefit to Scotland, or the rest of the UK trouble is
    regional politics the Tory strong hold is the south east of the uk.
    The Tory party does not exist in Scotland, and we have very few of the twats in Wales, so
    in regions were there are not any Scotland, feel like they don't want to be governed by them.

    I a not sure how much oil is actually in what would be scottish waters, I dont think it is enough to keep a country going and I am not sure what scotland can do to become a self running country, we dont really make anything and only export whisky really :S..

    I'm going to vote yes in the referendum.

    Connery ? A Jock bond ? You call yourself camp and witty and Ghey and you prefer Connery over Roger Moore.

    80% of north sea oil has already been extracted. The remaining 20% will cost increasing amounts of cash to extract and won't provide the same revenue to an independent Scottish exchequer that the original 80% did to the British exchequer.

    Once the oil runs out you've only got whisky and a vast number of unemployable neds drinking buckfast and creating another generation oflosers. You're much better off in the long run being permanently subsidised by the south of England.
