Seems like I'm in the minority on this thread:-)
One certainty though, if you don't want independence then you need to make sure you vote. I think the vote could well be won by the yes (please ;-)) vote but largely due to the apathy of those who won't vote on the day in the belief that the status quo will maintain no matter what |

I think your views echo the Highlands and Islands view - we dislike being told what to do by clever lawyers from distant Edinburgh - most of whom have never travelled further north than Perth (in summer)

No. Alex Salmond does not want to be part of the United Kingdom, Great Britain, call it what you like. Shows how confident he is, is he not allowing 16 year olds to vote? When i was 16 i would have voted for anything , the only problem being, i would not have had the wisdom to know why.

Yes this has been done in many councils and the results have been quite staggeringly high for a no vote.

My apologies Simon but I find you signature interesting:
Wha's Like Us? Damn Few And They're A' Died!? The average Englishman in the home he calls his castle slips into his national costume, a shabby raincoat, patented by Chemist Charles MacIntosh from Glasgow, Scotland. En-route to his office he strides along the English lane, surfaced by John Macadam of Ayr, Scotland. He drives an English car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop, Veterinary Surgeon of Dreghorn, Scotland. At the office he receives the mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by John Chalmers, Bookseller and Printer of Dundee, Scotland. During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh, Scotland. At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, Blacksmith of Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. He watches the news on television, an invention of John Logie Baird of Helensburgh, Scotland, and hears an item about the U.S. Navy founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland. Nowhere can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots. He has by now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation he picks up the Bible, only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot, King James VI, who authorised its translation. He could take to drink but the Scots make the best in the world. He could take a rifle and end it all, but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson of Pitfours, Scotland. If he escaped death, he could find himself on an operating table injected with penicillin, discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming of Darvel, Scotland, and given chloroform, an anesthetic discovered by Sir James Young Simpson, Obstetrician and Gynecologist of Bathgate, Scotland. Out of the anesthetic he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the Bank of England founded by William Paterson of Dumfries, Scotland. Perhaps his only remaining hope would be to get a transfusion of guid Scottish blood which would entitle him tae ask "Wha's like us? damm few an' there a' deed" When the great comedian Billy Connolly was asked his thought on the subject he very cleverly replied that the result would be what the Scots deserve.
