Would you vote for or against Scottish independence?

[glazbagun]

In principle, given the choice, with resources/debts to be argued/settled later. Just a quick straw poll out of curiosity

[Gedon]

If Scotland pull out of the UK, you will see the Welsh do likewise.

As a Cornishman, I am not English and refuse to be bracketed as such.

I am pro GB at the moment.

You're one of those pricks, aren't you...

There's the door..

I consider myself British first and Scottish second.

If there is ever a vote on Scottish independance and it goes through i'll move back to England.

I'm sorry, but an independant Scotland would be a disaster IMO.

[unrepentant]

Other British, don't care.

As long as they quit whinging and take Brown back.

[SmoothCriminal]

Give them their independence see how long they last, the Scots will soon come running back.

[grumbledoak]

Sick of the whinging. And saddling us with Labour. Again.

ps off. Best of luck with it.

[hidetheelephants]

I'd vote for it if we get to repeal all the crap laws newlabour have inflicted upon us since 1997; with the exception of the national minimum wage and giving us our own wee parliament back, it's been a continuous stream of shite statutes flowing out of the palace of westminister.

[thinfourth2]

As long as we get rid of that bunch of useless lying headline chasing tosspots that are our current bunch of leaders i'm happy

[Pints]

If they got indepenence, would that mean Winky would have to fk off? Here's hoping!

[rovermorris999]

I'd happily wave them goodbye, as long as they take Broon and his cronies with them.
It's interesting that the two professional scotsmen that spring to mind, Sean Connery and Jackie Stewart, both live abroad. Is that for the tax or the weather?

We couldn't accept a Prime Minister of England, Wales and Northern Ireland to come from another country, so he'd have to leave office along with the other 50% of his government.

[JagLover]

I voted for independence.

Simply because there would be less chance of a Labour government with Scottish independence. It is obvious they want to live a Socialist existence, so fine let them. There is no reason for the rest of us to pay the price for this.

You don't know your history, do you. Think before you speak, son.

[esselte]

Other British,don't care,it's up to them,they'd have to sink or swim on their own...

[Puggit]

British - For. It would mean the end of Labour as a force in the rest of Britain.

It wont happen as long as the flow of cash into Scotland exceeds the revenues generated in Scotland. Yes I know that North Sea oil has produced vast amounts of income for the UK govenment to squander on crap, however even keeping the money generated scotland would apparently still be £5-6B short each year

At least try to get your facts correct when you are whinging, Scotland did not saddle you with labour, they would have got in without any Scottish MPs.

At the last election the Tories had a higher share of the vote in England than Labour. It would have been very close to a hung parliment without the Scottish MPs. You can perhaps understand English resentment as laws that only effect England only get through Parliment with the votes of Labour's Scottish MPs.
