Should Scotland be an independent country?

[aussielong]

Today marks the final countdown with one year remaining when the people of Scotland can answer that question! How exciting;-)

"Yes Scotland chief Blair Jenkins, said: Scotland has generated more tax per head than the UK as whole in each and every one of the last 30 years.

The question is, why more people in Scotland are not reaping the benefits of our wealth?"

Anyone who votes for seperation should be forced to live in Scotland.

Well with a likely Tory majority it's quite likely! It'll be a new law just drafted, the patriot act, anyone one caught faulting it will be disposed of.

Maybe Scottish independence would be the motivational kick up the backside that an expensive minority of Scots need.

That's a cruel and unusual punishment, perhaps they could use that for public drunkenness in England

The OP is such a patriot, just like almost every other Scot you've ever heard of he can't stand to live in the country, yet feels the need to bore everyone else with tales of what a great country it is.

Sounds like my dad, but this says it all

It is a great country with a long love/hate history with the English.

I think many Scots do feel disempowered - maybe independence would give back national pride which, although intangible, I imagine goes a long way to economic success.

It's an OK country. It's got a long invented history with the English for the most part, based in fact but then twisted, taught and believed.

I think it's hilarious how, working in an office in Edinburgh, the majority view I hear from the locals what a bad idea independance is likely to be, or at least the version of it so far being "proposed" (i.e. cloud cuckoo land from Alex Salmond with no substance as yet), while all you hear from those who've managed to crawl out of the country is how great independance will be.

I guess it's easy for them - if it goes ahead and all goes to tulip then they don't have to live there. If it works out then they can say "I told you so".

And then the house grows quieter, and soon you're looking to downscale as you can no longer afford to look after such a big house.

Nah, you keep the house anyway because the children keep coming back because the world is not as easy as it seemed when they were funded and sheltered.

Nah, got two other noisy bastards to get rid of as well
