As an impartial observer I'm finding the whole thing fascinating as it really is such a momentous decision. My only concern is for my (English) best friend who lives there. She works for an NHS dental practice, her husband and older daughter both work for financial institutions and her younger daughter is at college. A yes vote will have an impact on all of them.
A yes vote will have an impact on every single person in the UK and probably not for the better!fairclaire wrote: »At the end of the day, each side are after the 'desired result' and do and say what is required to try and get it. That's politics, whatever the situation is.
I actually think both sides are representing their respective objectives just as expected. Politics isn't a clean and fair game and it never will be.
I haven't lived in Scotland for a number of years now. When I did, this issue was always rumbling on in the background. Always in the media.....much of which undoubtedly never reached people south of the border, and since I can remember......with the same man as the driving force behind it. What we are all seeing now is just the tail end of a much longer story. Where you live, what you're experiences are and how long you've followed this will colour your view.
In my view, Mr Salmond and the very irritating Ms Sturgeon are a pair of glory hunters who have been chasing a personal dream for so long, it's not about the bigger picture for them anymore.
Just my opinion
Agreed!
I hope we will hear no more of them after Friday!!;)"He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas" Benjamin Franklin

I will be going to vote tomorrow, having listened to all sides, etc etc, and I think when I walk out of the polling station, I'll burst into tears. It's such a big decision for each one of us, and not made easily or lightly.
I also intend to sit up tomorrow night to watch the count!!
I don't envy youand I don't think I'll sleep either

Or...(yawn), maybe it won't if we are not that interested in politics.
I think this vote, from what has been reported (I have no personal experience;)) has galvanised people in Scotland's interest. I don't think General Elections, even, have the same effect. What will be interesting (to me:o:o:o) will be how many people in Scotland vote in the General Election (meaning the next Westminster elections) if the vote is for independence. It will be 'interesting' and more about turnouts in general elections for both countries, if they become separate countries, thereafter.0 -

Sounds like it has all the right attributes :cool:
Nothing will ever beat my grans tablet though, it was stuff of legend, bless her :A I've never been able to do her recipe justice so I just don't try anymore...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

There's a fork in the road, which way will you go
