Not Long to Go...

... to the referendum.

I'm voting yes.

Do any of you have an opinion on us going it alone?

Some can't wait to see the back of us and some want us to stay part of the Union. I wasn't sure for a while, but two guys i'm friendly with convinced me that we should vote yes a few months ago.

One of the things one of them said touched a nerve and made my mind up for me.

We will have more money. We currently put in more than we get out. We will be able to keep it all to ourselves if we are independent.

Make sure you vote. The scaremongering from the Better Together mob and that risible letter from the 200 "celebs", may mean that the nos think they have it in the bag and won't bother.

Did you see that daft letter? Ha ha. I've decided to change my mind because Judi Dench and Simon Cowell want me to. :gigglesnshit:

And what form of currency will this money be in?

Sterling in one way or another probably. That's something that will be negotiated if we get our independence. :smilin:

What Cameron did is dirty! He gave oilmen the day off so that he could visit the new CLAIR oilfield, that will be pulling in thousands of barrels of oil a day for the next 40 years. No money? Please... Plus the debt in the UK is astronomical, they'd be cutting their nose to spite their face re the pound.
And also bussing in English people - with no voting power - to the BBC Scotland debate, tells me they are running scared and wanted it to look as if Scotland wishes to stay in the Union. My sing about Flower of Scotland - "Tae send them homeward toae think again". If Scotland don't take independence, we will be the FIRST country to ever refuse to run our own affairs.

Anyway, think on the bright side, Stooo, whiskey prices may fall.

No fiscal policy and no currency with weeks to go, How can anything go wrong?

There are four currency options on the table and AD made it clear when he made an arse of himself the other night that Alex will get his way. :wink:

Three of them won't work and Sterling has been refused. That sort of thing needs finalising years before such a move.

If the yes campaign win, then I wish you the best of luck, as I think you are going to need it. I'm not opposed to Scottish independence but I just think the Union is too intertwined for a parting of the ways to actually work.

We'll see. Anyway, what are your thoughts on Scotland being an independent country?
