It'll be no but it wouldn't shock me if it was yes.

I'm interested in what you think about an independant scottland. The press and politics in germany are somewhat concerend about it. They're afraid that more countries could leave the EU.

I personally believe we would be better off out of the EU... (Im English)
Nobody can stop you from trading outside the UK..
The amount of money poured into Brussels is ridiculous..

We give alot and gain little..

As for Scotland... Its their choice and I believe they should do whatever they want..

Im hoping they vote No, but its a democracy..

Whatever way it goes, History will be made...

Keep fighting, Keep loving....

Just my 2 pence worth

Think def up to the Scots. However my personal opinion like most of these things I think the Scots will be worse off as the game is so big these days. It will be great for Alex Salmond and a few of his party etc but that's about it.
The world is far too small for it too make any difference. Eg what's the point of independence if you still want the pound and to stay in the EU. If he does not have a concept for financial independence and their own currency I think he I and they are really missing the point. They are pretty much independant now. Their financial regulation will either be set by BofE or the EB 

Economically it could well end up as a disaster very few small economies in Europe are thriving. However Salmond will be happy and king of his castle.

i do hope if they vote for independence none of the above happens but fail to see how economically it will be a success

Salmond on a massive ego trip. t**t.

Yes, massively yes.

there is no way the Spanish / Italians/ belgians etc will allow a state to cecede and join the EU - it would mean the disintergration of their own setup. IIRC, the Catalans are voting next year, but the Spanish government have ruled it illegal.Greece and Spain refused to accept the Kosovo declaration due to this kind of fear

We could see the Balkanisation of western europe here- this is a genuine fear for much of the EU - and they are shitting themselves

we decided not to go for it- Denmark is another one - "we" didnt like full monetary union

It would literally take you 4 minutes of googling to figure this out   Google European Union membership - european currency union and you'll have an answer in no time!

There are slightly different rules for the original EU members. So the UK has the right not to accept the euro.

this is unlikely to change in the future.

Tartan?

Independence seems to be something that Scotland  has fought and striven for throughout its history.
They defied Roman imperialism and only after much conflict did their Anglo-roman descendants finally suppress though never truly conquer our indomitable neighbors to the north.  

Also I wonder how much of this is about oil, isn't Scotland rich in the stuff, who owns all that North Sea oil?

I spoke to a chap last week, on the north east coast of England, he had remarried and retired there. Up until a few years ago, he had lived in Glasgow all his life. He told me he was not going to get a vote due to not being resident.
Lots of Scot's are not resident for so many reasons - the armed forces, work commitments, kids, elderly parents etc. Yet those who are not Scots, yet live in Scotland do get to vote, which may seem fair, but some people have hardly been there any time at all.
I can see how this seems the most logical and fairest approach, but it just doesn't sit quite right with me.

It's a yes from me, but I'm Welsh and would vote yes if Wales were in similar position, But as jonny says will they financially cope? Do they get all the oil money?? A lot of small countries struggle but some thrive ie.New Zealand? The whole world economy is f*cked and will be for a while.. I would like to see Scotland succeed if its a yes.. I have been living in OZ for years and not upto speed with british politics but who's this ed milliband fella? Seems a right a bell end!!

Because it's something that you can 'adopt' as a member it's not forced on you.
