Additionally, over time, they will lose the stigma of being associated with the UK Tories and become a much more viable option. |

If the economic disaster befalls Scotland that is going to happen.
How ironic that it will be the Tory party that saves the day. |

Betfair are paying out on it being a No vote 3 days early, which means either they have better info than the pollsters or they are bluffing.
Don't rule out the first one completely, it's their job to know the likelihood of the outcomes of these things and for things like this they are rarely wrong. However, in this case I suspect they are chancing their arm. They have a fledgling sportsbook which they are trying to promote and the amount of money involved is probably small enough for them that they can get away with it. https://betting.betfair.com/politics...160914-51.html |

neither?
You can make cuts to current services either to save money or to supply new ones. If it's the latter they can claim not to be "making cuts" whilst making them as they shuffle money to be spent on more procedures and drugs. |

Don't forget, Scottish governments for the forseeable future will be socialist. We know that Socialist governments on this Island have ALWAYS screwed the economy by excessive borrowing.

Yep. They are increasing the budget while also looking for efficiency savings in existing services. Same as always. |

Agreed. If Scotland does vote in favor of independence these will be the votes that decide it. It's more than just politics and economics to some. Excellent "Yes" advert here playing heavy on that theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX6w_-QMH3E Propaganda? Not to those who feel that way. Interesting on that side of the pond all the talk of economic doom to Scotland. On this side of the pond there is more worry about the blow to the UK's economy especially in the North.
