In all honesty my desire is for scotland to have our own goverment in full charge of scotland it really is as simple as that.
I know the goverment is made up of people from all over the uk and is not really the english goverment but I really do not like the way it is run

How about Head of State, Currency, Defense and EU membership?
These issues are fundamental to Scottish independence
AND WHY OH WHY SOCIALISM??

for head of state a vote should be held
currency should still be the pound sterling
defense I dont know to much about that TBH but a alliance between scotland and england would be benificial for both sides
yes I think we would be best to stay in the eu

How can Scotland be self governing, whilst allowing the Bank of ENGLAND to set its monetary policy?

I have posed other questions and not got answers, Norway was set as a fine example of a nation that as resources like Scotland. But you failed to respond to two of the three reasons why it's not.
Simiarly with the question of Iceland and Eire? Still not answered.
Now like many I believe in the Union, even the Republicans in NI have seen the light and shut up.
As I understand it residents (even non-Scots) can vote but if your a jock student, economic migrant or Civil Servant you cannot? Should the ECHR be looking at this? Or is it just a Salmondism?
Here in Wales residents get a better financial university package than non-resident, prescriptions are the same, potentially the windfarms, Severn Barrier and the millions of ton's of opencast coal which is still being mined and is in demand could also be grounds to go independent but we know it's not viable.
If you want independence then go for it, but it could all end in tears.

Simiarly with the question of Iceland and Eire? Still not answered.

Now like many I believe in the Union, even the Republicans in NI have seen the light and shut up.
well if they are happy with it then good for them

another question I dont know sorry

if the welsh are happy with staying in the uk then by all means stay
and all the best to wales
If you want independence then go for it, but it could all end in tears.
Yes it very well could end in tears but also it could mean a bright future for scotland aswell
and some scots dont want to seperate and some scots want to be independent we will find out the percentages on the day of the vote.
you already know how I will be voting

Care to think again........

as far as the military side of things go, there seems to be a strong pattern of; elections coming up, government promises new jobs through its military establishments in scotland, wales and the north of england where jobs really make a difference in voting, then once the party is in power the jobs were all pie in the sky
as for the ex royal naval site in west wales that will never happen trust me

I'm welsh and wish the scottish people the best of luck in your new venture, I don't see how you'll have all the rights over the north sea oil as it's in british waters not scottish! i would imagine you'd only get a small preportion of the revenue generated
you'd be much better off lowering business rates and corporate tax to create plenty of jobs then have a higher income tax for all, can't just hammer the rich because they'll just sod off somewhere else lol

Being a Scot, living in Scotland, knowing more than most the state of our Scottish economy I think I probably know better than you the current relationship between America and Scotland, thank you.
Please don't be the stereotypical stuck up his own **** non Scot who thinks he knows more about current affairs in my country than I do, there's a good chap

We certainly wouldn't be fighting wars just to suck America's dick
