Still can't vote with those options...

I'd vote...
I'm not scottish, sort of hope they'll vote no just to see the face on that hateful toad Salmond and to be able to wind the Jocks up as big feardies for evermore, but if they vote yes, well, fair enough, good luck in the future, you'll fucking need it as your sums don't add up.

Yes, because none of them reported Sunday's YouGov poll that had Yes winning.

The forum poll would fail as it's asking the wrong people (those that claim to be Scots), it should be those "living and registered to vote in Scotland", as opposed to Scots.
The Scots are like the Irish, with more living outside of the country and claiming the nationality (even if a generation or more removed from anyone born in the country, so would not be entitled to a Scottish Passport if there's a yes vote) than actually live within (so are eligible to vote).
Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.

Both will be weaker without the other .
Unfortunately the people of Scotland won't realise they are being sold half a story by Salmond until it's all over .
When was the last time a politician promised you would be better off financially if you voted for them ?? And after it turned out to be a pack of lies . In recent times probably every time .
Strikes me that Salmond wants to go down in history , he will one way or another !!
The oil will not last forever , unfortunately it will out last him !!
If there's no reason for your words then Your silence ain't absurd

So people living in or born in Scotland will be considered citizens, and just about anyone else can apply :)

Interesting results so far - looks like our Scottish friends want independence whereas everyone else doesn't want them to go for it.

What the majority of those outside Scotland haven't considered is the effect on the union in the event of a yes vote and the effect the succession of Scotland will have on England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It's not about a rejection of the home countries but an opportunity to determine our own futures. Whatever way it goes, we will always be fansinblack!

I think you'll find it complies with all European and International Law.

If Scotland go independent do i have to pay more tax? Will the price of average items go up in England. Will the price of fuel go up which means the price of my weekly buspass goes up ... again? if all yes then i hope they stay.

Not very often prices or taxes come down. Nice to see you've got our best interests at heart though. I'm voting No to save your Bus pass.
