Wouldn't you rather be in full possession of the facts before making such a huge decision?
If you guys want to go it alone then more power to you. But most of us can't understand why you would do so on the back of being fed misinformation by the SNP and lacking even the most basic facts about how Scotland will function.
Not even any idea about which currency an independent Scotland will use.
No idea about how it will construct central services or pay for them.
No mapping has seemingly been done at all about how things will work.
Just Alex Salmond saying "it will be ok in the long run" and "we will get a currency union" and "we will join the EU" and "we will join NATO" when the people who are in possession of the facts have already ruled those things out, if not forever then for a long, long time.
The people who vote 'No' know what they are voting for.
Do the 'Yes' camp have any idea of what their cross in the box actually means?
Everyone I've spoken to thinks the same - how can anyone make a decision when there are no facts ?If you guys want to go it alone then more power to you.

You forgot to answer the 2nd part of the question. How will you persuade rUK to give away these assets?
To be fair - these things are probably subject division according to international laws on self determination.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination
The rUK may have no choice than to split assets and liabilities per capita.

I think it'll be 60:40 to No next week.
I guess it could be that wide. If you look at the underlying results from some of these polls - they do give No a larger lead than the "weighted" results suggest. The weighting has tended to bias the result towards Yes in the more recent polls.
