nmc said:We don't have fixed parliaments - the PM decides when we have a general election - with the monarchs permission. Once Scotland becomes independent MP's representing Scottish constituencies leave Westminster (so Scottish voters will no longer have a voice in Parliament). Scottish MP's leaving may have an impact on which party has a majority in parliament - so a new general election may be required.

From being under the rule, by in large, from the Westminster government.
To allowing us to run our own country without having to send money to Westminster, without having our taxes decided by Westminster.
We will no longer waste nearly half a million pound per day keeping trident in this country whilst nearly 500,000 people visit good banks.
Our vote will be heard, as opposed to every 4.5 uk elections it being worthwhile.
WE will take control of our country deciding what is to happen in it.
Fucking hell that gave me a great laugh. You sound like your stereotypical Scott with a chip on his shoulder reciting fucking Braveheart. Fortunately for you the majority of your people can apply critical thinking and understand that leaving would be a bad thing and so will vote no thus saving you from financial ruin. The only people so far I have heard who want the yes vote have been people who are only looking at it from an emotional POV and don't understand any of the consequences of such action. You should be thankful that there are people much smarter than you who can see past nationality.

Haha really? I should be grateful for people with a lack of vision to see what this country can achieve on it's own?
Of course there is an emotional tie, but by no means is that a deciding factor.
The fact of the matter is guys, whether you believe it or like it, we have the ability to go it alone. We have the set up to go it alone.
You seem to find it hard to comprehend that we have no say in uk elections but it's a fact. Now I understand a democracy, I do.
However, if you were ready to go independent, and were constantly undermined and lied to - I can pull up serious proof to back that up - and most of all were out voted most of the time, would you not think lets do this?
We have the resources to go it alone so why not

Mr Ed (The Stables) said:I think most Scots want to stay in the Union.
If not then so be it, I'm an Englishman and proud of it.
If Independence comes it will be great to see all the Scottish MPs at Westminster leave and be banished back beyond "Hadrians Wall".
Perhaps we could repatriate all Scots that have settled south of the border. After all an Independent Scotland would not be part of the European Union.
That would create some jobs and housing!! Just a thought.
"Keep St George in my Heart keep me English, keep St George in my Heart I pray.........." and so the battle cry goes on!!

Indeed, Salmon is not to be trusted, Sardines however, are the aquatic worlds most trust worthy.

It will be interesting if its a yes vote and Labour wins a small overall majority in 2015. Would they try to govern alone, knowing that they will become a minority government once separation takes place, or try to form a coalition with the Lib Dems from the outset.

Salmond is increasingly looking like a fish out of water.
I'm fine with Scottish independence as long as we can ensure supply lines of heroin and shortbread, even if it means venturing to Gretna Green to perform clandestine cross-border activities.
