Stop worrying. There's no way there will be a yes vote, far to many unanswered question or scenarios. The very fact that things like banking are unknown will be their demise

You sound like you really know what you're talking about.

In 2010 (the easiest results to find) Labour won 41 Westminster seats, compared to the 6 won by the SNP. Clearly you're in a minority if you consider Labour irrelevant in Scotland

You couldn't find the 2011 results for the Scottish Parliament elections?

SNP 69
Labour 37

Now who is in the minority?

I didn't look since the point i was answering referred to Westminster, not Holyrood.:p

I know fine well the SNP got plenty of Scottish Parly seats last time round...otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion !

OK you confused me when you said "Clearly you're in a minority if you consider Labour irrelevant in Scotland."

As abundantly clear as it is in my eyes that Scotland would be far better off looking after itself than suffering a government which it NEVER elects (the tories have won 6 out of the last 11 elections but barely win a vote up here). I think we need to carry on putting our points across in a calm manner.

Let's adress some of the issues raised: Worried Scot, why would there be a financial meltdown if Scotland became independent?

-Scotland has a well balanced economy according to various independent sources including two Nobel Prize winning Laureats. Whisky, Tourism, Finance, Renewables and Oil and Gas. Standard and Poors (the Credit Rating agency who recently downgraded the UK has said we would qualify for it's highest Triple A rating).

And Sibhill, if we don't get to share the currency which we have played a big part in building up, it has been well-documented that we will no longer be sharing the debt. A debt-free Scotland with a Government it actually elected sounds great to me

I'll miss Scotland when it leaves the UK, look after yourselves and enjoy your new status.

Have you read the papers in the last couple of years ? Have you taken part in the "reclaim bank charges" or "reclaim cc charges" ? Your money is safer under your bed than giving to these people, I dont mean to be rude but do you think your money has been safe in your whole banking lifetime ? Dont worry about independence having an effect on your millions, it wont get any worse when your country is free to run itself.

Do you really think that banks could pay back cash to the owners if we all requested withdrawals at the same time?

How can snp fight for independence...and want to join eurozone???
I for one prefer a stable uk parliment [ ok with faults ] against the eurozone run by political princes who do not seem to answer to anyone outside their 'cliques ' no sign off on accounts ,if you vote no ,rerun vote untill yes vote ect, after ww2 ,[ ok history] NOT one in eurozone paid a penny to almost bankrupt uk [ norway did ] and us spent a fortune to repair europe free of charge [ marshall plan ] with nothing to uk, even the convoys of aid from usa were paid in advance by uk [ our gold was sent to canada and each sum was transfered to usa BEFORE convoy left usa shore] all sunk shipping had been paid in advance.
i'm scottish for life but belong to the uk for life ,only my family comes first.

To answer the only part of your comment that I can really understand.

Countries in the Eurozone, like Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain, are sovereign states with their own governments and have their own seat at the United Nations. They are not controlled by other countries.

Many of us think Scotland should be free of English domination and join them.
