& don't worry most of us Scots are not like ScooterScot and would prefer to stay in the UK, we know a good deal when we see one

I couldn't say because I don't know. I've not asked them all.

The only people I've met who 'do know' are those that carry a bible. Is that really the people you want to be taking advice from?

For someone who's not entitled to even vote you go on quite a bit, just face it the decision isn't yours you can harp on all you want but you don't actually get a say and you don't speak for anyone except yourself.

Sorry based on polling and circumstantial evidence, I.e most people I work with and friends, etc.
But yes won't know til September.

Scotland would become a much wealthier country if it slashed its public sector. It's not proportional to the population size.

Very True!
Is that what YesScot are offering? Have the SSP & Greens signed off on that?
Will the SNP be highlighting it needs to slash the public sector to woo over Labour voters, as Sturgeon has confirmed they are targeting?

SNP/YesScot fans talk about the old style Scandinavian model, which weren't renown for small public sectors, & get upset if you highlight what the current Scandinavian models are like.

And given you only vote for socialists that is a pipe dream

I think what's a given is the announcement to tackle poverty. It saddens me greatly reading about working families, the tough choices they make, and the absence of utility when it's need only to be replaced by charity. Meanwhile the other half of the country celebrates house prices. It's for a modern country to be in this situation. Something needs to change. I don't care who's at the helm but change is needed.

Let's hope they take their share of the Public Sector pension liabilities too

Not entitled to a vote. Don't get me started. I should most certainly have a say given my 100's of years of Scottish genealogy.

Depends. Do you want to park the nuclear submarines in the Thames?

Yes it doesn't cause a problem for me, but I do believe there are a lot of jobs in the communities where they currently are that will be lost or relocated.
