The best that can be hoped for is that there is a slight margin and that Westminster is scared to its bewilligers.
Look no further than the recent comments of Jim Sillars
I'm a Scot and proud of it, but I'm also British and proud of that, too. I'm not going to be any prouder a Scotsman simply because Scotland votes to go independent.
And re all the talk of Freedom.
Freedom from what? We're not slaves. We're not oppressed. Any Scot can have any job they want in the UK, right up to Prime Minister. (Please let's keep any religious issue comments out of this.)
My vote is NO and has been for decades. If all of a sudden we are going to have a 'better and fairer' society, I have to ask, better than and fairer than - what?
Westminster may not be perfect and I'm sure changes will have to occur in the way the different areas are represented, but on balance I prefer the devil(s) I know....
I hope commonsense prevails on Thursday and we stay a United Kingdom but I can't help wondering how each faction is going to react to a tiny marginal victory by the other.
Sometimes the believed cure is worse than the imagined illness.
I think it will be much tighter than a 10% margin - 4% margin maybe
Scotland is not, as I understand it, a direct member of either the EU or NATO, but only indirectly through the UK. If independence wins the day, is there a care or a plan for this? A technicality soon fixed? A burden well shed?
