Should Scotland be independent?
Alex Salmond of the Scottish National Party has brought out a Scottish independence plan.

"The Scottish independence white paper, unveiled by the first minister Alex Salmond on 26 November 2013, was 'conservative' and 'unambitious'."
Did Alex Salmond miss his chance?


According to Mark McDonald of the Scottish National Party: "Instead of getting governments at Westminster that Scotland doesn't vote for, the direction of an independent Scotland will be in the hands of people living here."
2011-12
Scotland 42.7%
UK 45.5%

2. Check out the SNP's really hard hitting attack on Scots primary class sizes.
Added to that, we should be centrally governed by an unchecked unicameral parliament, because the system works so well according to the SNP.

6. Dave Greenway, the Pulitzer prize winning journalist of The Boston Globe, summed up the SNP thus :
The SNP's nationalism is based on citizenship, rather than on ethnicity, religion, or language, and is pro-immigration; quite different from many national movements.

7. Too wee, too poor, too stupid to run your own affairs, but the sheltering wing of the UK will keep us all safe and well from hordes of dirty rampaging immigrants etc.
That's the case against independence as it's being presented by it's advocates.
You want authoritarianism, start looking at the other side.
8. Major restructuring has already taken place under devolution (the centralisation of police and fire, for example).


And SCOTLAND has lost 49,000 public sector jobs since the Con-Dems came to power – the equivalent of 49 Ravenscraig closures.

Scotland deserves sovereignty.
But as many newly independent nations find out, the realpolitik on the ground is that Soros will grab them and seduce them into another deception like he methodically does with every single small nation or peoples who manage to break free.
Go for it, Scotland. Beware of Soros. That will be the first trap set for you to lead you back to the matrix if you achieve independence. Be aware, educate yourselves, steer clear of Soros 'help' to new democracies.

I'd say that Westminster likes it that Scotland is poor weak and underpopulated. Vote No to keep it that way.
Independence in itself won't change anything, what the Scots people do with it is what counts. It must be used intelligently and by Scottish politicians who have no secret allegiance to England.
Also, professional politicians must be kept on the tightest of leashes; they're more dangerous than unleashed Rottweilers.
I don't think people realise just how big rich and powerful CEC is
when I worked for them, well over 10 years ago, it became clear just how much of edinburgh it really owned, which was most of it, in terms of land & property
but salmond is a front, to give people the idea that they would be independent when it will still be the same hands pulling the reins as it's always been
when I worked for CEC I got roped into purchasing, being stupid I though it was my responsability to spend council tax payers money as best I could, I once saved quarter of a million on one deal to have it thrown back by the CPU as they would get their "friends" to provide it
drinks, golf and funny handshakes required
the old scotland, the new scotland, the independent scotland
