I totally get why many Scots would vote to leave the Union as im propbably as fed up with the country being subjected to Neo-Liberalism as they are. Rule from London i feel is no longer acceptable to the vast amount of Brits as our country is too London centric. The success of London masks the real problems of the rest of the rest of the UK. London sucks resources in and the spend on London by Government far outstrips spending on anyother area of the UK. London is a rich city but parts of the UK are poorer than parts of Eastern Europe. Nothing is done to rebalance this. Manchester gets huge cuts to services whilst London commuter belt communities get none.
The Scots quite rightly want to decide their own destiny and shape their country according to their political beliefs, which appear profoundly different to those of England. I hope their belief in social justice serves to illuminate people and i hope they vote yes and prove it can be done.
Saying all that though i do fear for the future. I actually like the UK and its proved for hundreds of years that political and monetary union are achievable given the right mindset. I fear the disintegration of the UK. Wales next? A united Ireland? Cornwall secceding?
What happens to the Army? What happens to the 20K Scots who work for the UK govt? What happens at the border? The BBC? Can we still use Scottish power? If the Scots are not part of the EU will we need a passport to go to Glasgow? The questions are endless and i havent seen many answers.
My heart says go on Scotland vote Yes, my head says dont be fucking daft Scotland vote No.
