To be honest I hope you do vote to seperate.  If you do, and it goes well, maybe the remainder of the UK will finally get the balls to break away from the EU and actually manage ourselves rather than spending all our time firefighting idiotic mandates from Brussel :beat:

If Scotland leaves and is in the EU then England and Wales did choose to leave the EU. Certainly bring some interesting dynamics.

We should all just get it over and done with and revert back to the twenty seven tribes pre-first century AD roman interference.

 

Far more fun that way...

I think the increased possiblity of the yes vote is causing some to choose the potential winning side.. They will change dependant on the prevailing direction of travel. You can see this with a couple of political defections.

 

The completely overdone 'Yes' theme on the Daily Rangers is evidence of this..

I wouldn't get excited. I still predict a No. But not for any of the decent arguments Ross has made. Its the older generation who have not been engaged by differing streams of info and are simply worried about pensions even when it's been covered to death. That's the reason the better together campaign is sticking to it's fear line, it works if its all you hear. The yes vote is a vote against the combined spin and propaganda machines of the establishment, Labour, Conservative, Lib Dem and all their loyal media. A quick read of the bile being spilled from the like of Alan Cochrane in the Torygraph and the hullabaloo about egg-gate should tell you something. If we do it it will be in spite of all that. You never know though.

After initially thinking it was never going to happen... about 3 weeks ago I completely changed perspectives. I actually think it will be a Yes and with around a 4% margin. But that is just an opinion based on zero facts.

 

I have to admit... Your persistence Scott has contributed to that... If the Yes campaigners were equally as undeterrable then you have a good chance.

 

I do however still honestly believe that it is going to be a massive mistake when the costs of achieving this independance hit. I am basing this on zero facts, yet again, but that is my position and I will not be shifted.

Its only the offshore wind / renewables side. Doesn't affect the subsea / oil and gas business.
