Tonight's opinion polls look like Salmond's promise of a marxist state, funded by fruit from the magic money tree, is proving irresistible and the people living in Scotland may well vote to pull the plug.
Quite why they are being allowed to destroy my country - the United Kingdom - is a key question but at least, without Scotland, we wouldn't have many Labour governments in future, so there is a bright side.

the party that got the most votes in Scotland, usually ended up in power. The nationalists in Scotland are saying different, to get support from those who either cant, or wont, look at the truth

One of the Nats mantras -
We're fed up of being ruled by a party we didn't vote for
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
But what they conveniently forget to mention is
Most people in Scotland didn't get the Government they wanted in Scotland at last Holyrood election,
Of those who did vote, more people, voted for other Parties, than for the SNP.

Shia's and Suni's are saying the same thing in Iraq / Syria / Afghanistan................I would have hoped the Scots had come a little bit further down the evolutionary road than that.......it's called democracy. Out of all the times I voted, sometimes I got the Party I voted for and sometimes I didn't. If I didn't, then I didn't go off in some "Hissy Fit" and as I don't believe, for one second, that EVERYBODY in Scotland votes for the same Party; I don't know how they can always get the party they voted for. This is the 21st Century, when more borders mean more problems; they really need to get out of this 14th Century ( William Wallace ) mentality. We've got Iraq, talking about dividing the Country into three smaller states; Shia / Suni and Kurd...........We've got I.S talking about creating a Radical Islamic Caliphate.........at one stage they were talking about letting the Taliban create a separate state in Afghanistan, if it meant decreasing hostilities. We've got Russia Annexing the Crimea and attempting to stoke up the East of Ukraine, to form a breakaway state; affiliated to Russia...............and now Scotland........getting their little Penny's worth in........for God sake you lot up there grow up, get real and smell the coffee.

I don't think it's just Cameron. All of the party leaders (Miliband, Clegg, even ex-leader Brown) are falling over themselves to give away everything to the Scottish Nationalist Socialists, without any mandate to do so. Whether Thursday's vote goes for separation or not, the Nationalist Socialists (don't those words have a nasty ring to them?) will have had a massive victory.
Our government tells us that it doesn't negotiate or pay ransoms to radical Islamists, but it certainly does to radical Scots!

Good point Al,and of course at the moment we're all being ruled by a government that none of us voted for ... the coalition.

Just a thought.
There may be a close knit group of people tied at the hip who just can't decide who should be on the "Yes" ship or who should be on the "No" one. The big question is, how many millions of Scots are living just over the border in Brum, Geordie-land, Scouse-land or even in the capital.How do all that lot get to vote?
17-09-2014 1:33 PM
The simple answer Stevie is that they don't.
Only people actually resident in Scotland can vote - quite rightly.

Odds with all the bookmakers continue to shorten on the No vote, which suggests a lot of punters are piling in. A few have dropped to under 1.20 today, from around 1.44 last week.
After tomorrow, the post mortem will begin and it will be interesting to see whose prediction was more accurate - the money or the opinion polls.

All scots in the uk should get to vote, after all i doubt they thought they would become foreigners by moving down the road.

They wouldn't be foreigners - they'd still have a British passport.

Scots living in the uk should have the right to vote, it's not like they moved abroad they moved down the road a bit.
