Scottish independence.

What bugs me over this was the fact that being a Scot living in England I'm denied a vote although I've noticed in the past few days that the legal basis of this has now been challenged that may delay the voting date. If you're an expat sunning yourself in Australia or the Costa del Crime and left the UK up to 15 years ago then you're allowed to vote in the UK general election and referendums. Personally I disagree with this - if you ain't contributing to the country then why should you be allowed to have a say on how it's run

Anyroad imho this principle should be handed to expat Scots.

Re the SNP - this surely must be the watershed for them. If it's a "no" vote then do they start becoming an irrelevance in Scottish / UK politics?
