Scotland Debate

what double standard? I don't live there and I'm not Northern Irish.

No wonder you YES campaigners get tied up in knots with these kind of ridiculous accusations.

I've not accused you of anything (yet ;) )

Can you see where I'm confused?George Galloway and various other slebs who signed that declaration of love also seem to think the same as you...but I don't get it?

You don't have to, but can you explain why the difference bewteen NI & Scotland being indy?

According to PMQs the head of the EU has stated that if an iscot adopt the pound they will not be permitted into the EU. It looks like a Yes vote would manage something those anti EU Tory's failed to achieve.

A wee bit more complicated than that old dear.

If Scotland decides to use the £ outside a currency union, they'd have no central bank, no lender of last resort...something required to be come a EU member state.

Which makes me and my version on iScotland yet again correct. No £, no EU.

Scottish currency and EFTA.

Just one click on Google usually does it Phil.

Now you can return the compliment and show the opposite.

And one click gets you an article over two years old which shows nothing conclusive and old

Why would I need to show you anything opposite ?

But what Val posted in replay to your post is a good start I guess

Amazing how hard it is to get an unbiased source to back up arguments on here. Seems that's another battle the yes campaign seems to be winning although I'd bet they wouldn't admit it ;)

Some good stuff here from Sir Tom, someone we can all trust for an honest opinion.

he says, and I quote "Like many voters, I am genuinely undecided, but I don’t feel that the campaigns so far have given me the facts and unbiased assessment to make a properly informed decision. I know I am not alone in thinking this way.

“A recent poll commissioned by the Hunter Foundation and published in early July showed 56% of undecided voters simply don’t feel they have enough impartial information to make a decision. And 45% of all voters claim they don’t trust either the UK or the Scottish Government’s predictions"

You do realise he isnt commenting on the 16 questions.

Anyway, heres a link for the book for anyone who wants to read it http://www.futureukandscotland.ac.uk/sites/default/files/papers/Scotland's Decision final ebook.pdf
 
We have people giving it "show me something to prove this and show me something to prove that" when in reality nobody knows what the hang is going to happen whichever way this goes.

Christ show me what's going to happen after the next General Election.

In fact show me what's going to happen before that!

What will be will be and I am willing to go YES and give it a go in the hope that a difference can be made.............it might be the wrong move it might be the right move......who the hell knows!!!:)
 
I have only rarely dipped into this thread, and it may have been covered elsewhere, but is there a general split along class lines on the "support".

Are working class generally voting yes, and middle/upper no. Or even the other way round.

No........ last nights meeting was what I would call a good broad church.
I would have liked to see more younger ones.
Local farmers, businessmen/women, workers, more women than I would have expected.
I think the women actually outnumbered the men.
Even a few Turnberry members !
