The Radiated Banana Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 As a scot... The reason for the referendum is because we want more power. The UK are offering more power to the scots as a compromise, if the end vote is no. Postives: -We can make our own choices, good for business and finance etc. -Free education and free universities Negatives: -No military -Stuff goes down with foreign policies Sum up: Difficult in the short term. Good benefits if shit goes well in the long term. I think the end vote will be a no because the scots want power, and that is what the UK is offering for scotland to stay as part of the united kingdom.(the United Kingdom is a powerful country, and if they get smaller, they lose power. People with power will do everything they can to keep power) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with power will do everything they can to keep power) I'm a quarter Scottish, living in canada now. I see that the Scots want to be like Canada, still part of the British Commonwealth, but be their own country to celebrate their culture and what not. I agree with the long term, it will be good, once all the drastic things and changes are finished with in the short term. If Scotland does vote yes, david cameron is going to be known and the PM who lost Scotland, a very bad mark with his reputation. edit; it's the economy that makes me lean to the no side. Trade with the rest of the UK, where Scotland's majority of exports go to and imports come from will be bent around, twisted and made harder. The british pound aswell, it's a very strong currency will not be used by Scotland. and when it comes to separation and dividing the goods, who gets the north sea oil and gas? what about the queen? the british pound?

The Radiated Banana Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 and when it comes to separation and dividing the goods, who gets the north sea oil and gas? what about the queen? the british pound? I'm pretty sure the north sea oil and gas go to scotland. It is a reason why david cameron wants to keep scotland in the uk the queen still rules? over scotland? idk how to put in words, but it is the same way as canada and other parts of the commonwealth are under her command? control? still cant think of the word. The new currency to be used is still being discussed, but the united kingdom is still allowing scotland to use the pound.(but there is scottish pounds tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0night Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 i hope they vote no because the uncertainty around infrastructure change in all the areas people have already mentioned is so great and the yes campaign have had 0 detail on how it's actually going to be implemented beyond idealistic promises of a fairer society. in the long term, i hope the SNP sorts out a reasonable proposition and timetable and then i'm all for scottish independence.

Gent♥ Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Scotland's obviously just doing this because I'm moving to Wales tomorrow so they have no reason to be friends with England anymore <3 All jokes aside, I have a niggling worry that the Scots are voting out of patriotism and not out of, well, logic.If Braveheart gets shown at any point between now and the referendum, it needs to be counter-balanced by showing Trainspotting immediately after That and the Scot's proposal regarding a currency union is, and I quote, 'preposterous.' More power to you if you do get your independence (literally), but I hope to god you guys have thought it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F CHARLIE Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 In some ways this is a result of the economic stress and uncertainty the world is expierience. It is bad decision to de-unionize our nations states as this creates barriers for growth both economically and culturaly. That said, British parliament committed the same error we state that the Iraqi government did. It failed to be inclusive/sensetive enough of the concerns of this minority group as to produce this referendum. Vote no. You are Scotland along with Wales and Britain you the Unted Kingdom with a shared history and a global standing that is outstanding. Seperate, you are like Ireland, Belgium, Lichtenstein or Iceland. A minor european state that is cute but lacks influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separate, England will still continue to hold influence as they have always done, but Scotland..? Think of it like when the Soviet Union split up.

Gent♥ Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yugoslavia ceased to exist on June 3 2006. SU - December 26 1991. Am I missing something? Yes. Yugoslavia as a nation broke away from the Soviet before the Soviet broke apart entirely in 1990. But this is off-topic, as usual people are picking more at the face-value of my analogies rather than what they actually mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
