This Yes vote is mostly driven by emotion, not reality on the ground.
The reasons why I think the No vote will win are:
- Scotland only contribute less than 10% of the UK GDP, yet get a LOT more in terms of financing. - They will have to set up their own health care, police, army,Social security,border posts, passports AND currency.Nothing difficult with this, Even poor South Sudan are stting these systems - They will be lumbered with their share of the the large UK debit, which is almost 100% of the UK GDP. - The North sea oil is not only in Scotland. England will have a big portion of it. It is running out anywaytime frame of run-out-date, 2030,2099,3020?. - They will suffer from tourism. Tourists come to England and visit Scotland. With extra border controls very few will travel theretourists may decide to go to Scotland direct, or the Scots may abolish the Visa requirement. - They are not likely to get entry into the EURO zone. Spain will veto that for sure.This is the biggest assumption of them all, Catalunya is breaking even before Scotland applies for EU membership - What currency will they use. The Scottish pound. It will be a jokeLOL, even Somali have a currency. Its not rocket science to start own currency. Do you know when the Euro became operational?. - They are getting a lot of foreign investment at the moment. This is because they are a part of the UK. On their own, this will be stopAnother assumption, actually bordering on a lie. - What will happen to people who live in Scotland, but work in England and the other way roundA bridge yet to be crossed, and that will definitely be crossed.
The NO vote is actually a win win situation for Scotland. They stay part of the UK, with all the benefits, and get extra devolution powers as being promisedStart counting 1,2,3.....300yrs and you will understand them. Wait for the results Most of your statements are assumptions. Let them cross those bridges as a free people rather than the fake devolution that has not helped them for 300 yrs Hata mimi nimeconcede defeat, gracefully.
