independence.

i would like to see it happen, i'm not an english hatter (far from it) i would just like to see us make a go of it. ok so it might take a cppl hundred years or it might take a cppl decades but if other countrys can do it then i'm sure that we could.

My feelings exactly Bibio. I'd like to see Scotland stand amongst the other nations of the World. Too many Scots believe the pish about us being subsidised. Independence removes the excuses and we need to get on with it.

I hope it's not taken the wrong way in England though. It gets misrepresented as some kind of anti-English thing but that's just the football :)

I'll be voting Yes by the way.

I'm English and have lived in Glasgow for 7 years now. I think it may be a bad idea. I would expect a lot of companies would leave the new independent Scotland especially if Salmond gets his way and starts playing with taxes. Its not broke so why try to fix it?

I haven't looked into it too much but I just have a feeling it would all end in tears.

Lets be honest, if it isn't broke, its not far from it.

I can't disagree with what Tam said!

I'd also vote no.

As for Abdel Baset Al Megrahi....not a chance in hell Kenny MacAskill made that decision without instruction from Westminster and the Whitehouse!:rolleyes:

Could the no voters expand by giving reasons please as I believe in hearing both sides of an argument

I just hope that any referendum is based on cold hard facts.

Not petty nationalism. We shall see.
