    Wiogs: the money that they would receive from westminster, to run the local governments/authorities, emergency services etc

    No Scotland wouldn't get money for those.

    Well I was undecided...(too many questions unanswered)
    Then a NO(too many questions unanswered and and a load of mud slinging by the NO campaign)


    Now I am coming over to a YES (Because of the propaganda and underhandedness being spewed out by "boys in the club")


    it has always been a problem that too many people that do not want an independent Scotland have too much power/control over the success of independence.


    Like it or lump it Scotland's economy is supressed by England.

    lol I just have too figure out who is bending the truth the most lol
  • Patriotism is a great thing as it being proud of ones country. However Nationalism sadly exists by encouraging hatred of others and has led to some of the worst examples of countries and behaviour in history. What the SNP are peddling is hatred of their chosen enemies (mostly the English but substitute for Westminster/Tories/Insert hate figure here) and encouraging some vile behaviour as well as a terrible future for Scotland.

    With Devo max for NO vote Scotland will get complete home rule coupled with the economic certainty of the UK and all the guarantees that go with that. Anyone who sits and thinks about this instead of getting spun by the SNP's hate figures lies and bullying will realise there is no option but a NO vote for a fantastic future for SCOTLAND

    Would a pro-independence voter be good enough to explain something to me...?


    SNP policy is to seek a currency union- from the Scottish government white paper monetary policy would "be set according to economic conditions across the sterling area". Why would an independent Scotland want rUK interfering in its monetary policy when sterlingisation could achieve the same result?


    If the monetary policy requirements of of iScotland and rUK would be identical at all times why bother with a currency union when the monetary policy decisions made by rUK would be the right ones for iScotland. Scotland would be free to vary the fine detail.


    If the policy requirements of iScotland and rUK would differ at times why should rUK moderate its policies according to the needs of a foreign nation in ways that may be to the detriment of rUK? Will iScotland be offering some sort of compensation to rUK for changing policies to satisfy iScotland?
    God save the King!
    I'll save Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, J. M. W. Turner and Alan Turing.

    Dorothy ---Scotland tax base sends down more to Westminster than we receive.

    Not according to the Scottish Government's own figures.

    And when you've finished reading the Wee Blue Book of Lies read this,

    You can also google Rev Stuart Campbell (the author of the wee blue book of lies) and find out exactly what kind of person he is.
