some of the points against independence on here are so laughable. None of us seriously know how good or bad it would be, but the SNP track record does stand up, and they have done more for Scotland. However we are a long long way behind those Nordic countries, and if anyone was to visit them they would realise what is possible. I have been to 3 of them in recent times, post recession, and standards are what we should be striving to achieve.
A lot of serious questions will be asked in the lead up to the vote, and we will all have the opportunity to listen and decide, but to post stupid petty things really doesnt change anyones thought process.
If Scotland were to gain independence, which is still a big if, Scotland will still have the same mechanics of the make up, Torries, Liberals, Labour and SNP, who would each influence the direction the country would go.
If Scotland vote to stay as part of the British union, peoples desire for independence will not diminish, but continued **** from London may well increase that desire, however, a no vote may also alter Londons thinking towards Scotland, and improve understanding
