Undercard Jamoke Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 So Scotland will soon vote on whether or not it will become an Independent country. Are you for or against Scottish independence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 All countries should be really but I'm inclined for them to stay, not that I can vote. If they want to *Censored* off from the UK they can feel free to. They talk about how they're not treated fairly but they get free university places and it can cost up to 9 grand a year here, meaning when you finish you can be 30k in debt, like seriously. As I said, if they want to leave they can. It wont effect me in any way. I'm more expecting a vote of no over a vote of yes but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango kid Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 i just wonder if they no becoming independent is a lot more complicated then they may realize and it will effect them for a long time before setting everything up I no most people who comment on this doesn't realize the complications of becoming independent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 If the Scottish people want to break away from the UK, that's their choice. With that said, I think Scotland is better off remaining a part of the United Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't really have anything to gain or lose by the situation, so I'm saying yes...solely based on the fact that I always thought it was a different country when I was a kid.

Haas3-16 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Being that I'm from Scotland and have to vote. I am tempted to say yes as I would like to see Scotland make decisions for itself rather than a government down south that couldn't really give a shit about Scotland until now. But at the same time I don't want to have the euro as a currency and also have family living in England from my mother's side of the family so I am unsure whether to say Yes! or No! I'd also like to mention that the BBC isn't helping the matter either with only showing No! voters on TV and deliberately ignoring the Yes! voters and cutting away if they appear in the background (Videos of this are on YouTube). Plus I feel that if No! Wins then England might try and screw us somehow as I don't bolieve they mean what they say then again what Government does.

Shindol Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I hope they stay with us mostly for personal reasons. They are a separate country but they're part of our kingdom. However, if they do *Censored* off, they better not try crawling back if it all goes to shit. Also, does anybody think there's a chance of riots whichever way the coin lands?

Jimmy1994 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've voted no. there's no doubt in my mind that it was the right thing to do. I didn't see a single benefit to independence proposed by the yes camp that could actually be provided with any certainty. any time you question them you are told to stop scaremongering and being negative. Plus we already have it good in the UK right now, we have the power to protect the NHS, we don't like Conservatives but let's face it they haven't won a parliamentary majority in 22 years and will be out of power in the 2015 election. we have a large role to play as a member of the EU, NATO and the UN security council, and we have nuclear weapons, which are not necessarily a good thing but any disarmament should be worldwide, it's irresponsible for one state to get rid of theirs while everyone else's capabilities stay the same. Our public spending is higher, and our public services are better than the rest of the uk. If yes wins it will be a triumph for faith over facts and that's very dangerous in politics. In any event, even if the yessers win, it will be by a couple of percent at the most, that leaves just under half of the country pissed off. Therefore I think there is a chance of riots, particularly in the event of a no vote, since the yes campaign are more passionate about their side(theirs is less a political argument and more a lifelong belief) and also better at organising random protests without warning. Plus yessers i've spoken to have a serious problem with a victim mentality, as has been seen by their opinions on big bad evil westminster, and the media, in particular the BBC. So if there's a no vote they'll no doubt start conspiracy theories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbersoul Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm from Wales and if we were in the same situation and voted yes we would be destroyed. Let's face the truth, we (Wales and Scotland) need england way more than they need us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is. England and Scotland are different countries. UK is just four countries together sharing parliaments and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IɳFamous Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Couldn't give a flying *Censored* tbqh but I think Scotland will be better off staying part of UK. A read a report somewhere stating that it costs more for Britain to run Scotland than the money they are making off of it. So, it wouldn't come as a surprise if they go tits up after the independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Couldn't care less really. Scotland can do whatever they please and I doubt it would effect England or the rest of this kingdom too much. However, if they vote yes then it is incredibly historic. Speaking of Wales, they will never be independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shindol Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I prefer St George's Cross myself. We should also change our national anthem to Jerusalem. Much better than God Save the Queen. We can keep that for GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
