Scotland warned it could lose the pound and be forced to join Euro

The question is; who will be given the vote in the referendum? Everyone living in Scotland? Or Scots living everywhere in the world? Will the English be able to vote that they don’t want the Scots anyway so they may have leave the UK even they don’t want to?

Everyone in the UK (i.e. Scotland, England, Wales and NI) should be able to vote on it. I can't see why the Scots should be allowed to vote, and yet if I want England/Wales/NI to be independent from Scotland I can't have my say?

Why is there not an ENP that would propose an independence referendum?

I say let them leave on the codition they take 90% of the UK debt with them, and allow us to rebuild the wall, so they cant all come flocking back over the border to England when it all goes tits up..

You can have your say on your country leaving the UK. You just have to get your government to hold a referendum. It is not for the Scottish Government to hold a referendum for the English on their participation in the union.

It is about Scotland, so voters in Scotland will vote on it. As a Scot living in England I quite rightly will not be able to vote on Scottish independence: it is about government, not about race. Registered voters in Scotland will be able to vote, without regard to their origins, as is also only right.

People voting in England should of course not be able to vote on Scotland leaving the union. They should perhaps be able to vote on England leaving the union, but that's a matter for them and their government, not for the Scottish government.

FWIW polls show that English settlers in Scotland are a pretty solid "yes" voting bloc.

A lot of English people appear have voted in this poll. 8 in favour, 1 against.

OIL backed currencies are very desirable,so you can shove your pound

When do the English get a vote on kicking Scotland out? Or maybe on Independence for England?

[doodab]

I think it's a splendid idea. Let them find out what it's like to be a real country instead of a province. .
