Sorry, It is a country. I meant to put 'should Scotland be independent'

[Ardemax]

Can't see independence being a good thing for either side.

[Southe,]

So looks like I'm the only Yes voter around here.

Why are you though?

[FlyingJesus]

I say yes and they can take Newcastle with them

[Southe,]

Why are you though?

Because i hate the English and want to watch Braveheart everyday. Just kidding.

I want Scotland to be an independent country, I'm proud to be Scottish and i believe that Scotland is more than capable of looking after itself. I'm no fan of Alex Salmond and will most likely vote elsewhere when we get independence(have to think positive) but he is right in the fact David Cameron should come to Scotland and debate with him. Regarding his message of getting the rest of the UK to tell us to stay I've had more positive people tell me to vote yes then tell me to stay/get lost.

Project Fear have done nothing to question my choice and I've noticed daily more and more people are siding with Yes or are starting to question Better Together, Sure the white paper has been called a "wish list" by many but it is still more than Project Fear have done. All they seem to do is chirp in "no you can't" "you can't do that" "that wouldn't work" etc.

I'm sure I read the other week that the man who helped the UK and other countries into the EU said Scotland would get into the EU no problem. Where as Project Fear just say we can't but at the same time can't tell us if the UK will still be in the EU in 5 years time.

Seen this earlier on.

But why do you want 'independence' from Westminster only to move control over to Brussels? Scottish independence with an entry into the EU will be purely symbolic - you still won't have any control over your fisheries, agriculture, industry, financial regulations, immigration policy or your currency (which you will likely have to join the Eurozone which is a requirement for all new EU members).

So even if you do feel seperate and want Scotland to be making it's own laws (which I have to say it a perfectly rational position if you feel only Scottish and not in the slightest bit British, Scotland can make it on it's own no matter what scaremongering Unionists on my side say) it's pretty pointless unless you also exit the European Union.

It'd be out of the frying pan and into the fire as they say.
