Well, genuinely surprised - and disappointed in equal measure.
Good to see though as this is probably, small as it is, a 'real' poll, with no hidden agenda or skewing to manipulate the media.
Clearly much work still to be done!!
Thanks.

"We'll leave multiple voting for Zimbabwe and the likes Chris!  "
One of the things Ms Sturgeon said this morning was that no country which had gained independence in the last 50 years had turned out badly.
Like Zimbabwe? |

Fair point but hardly a realistic comparison really; can't see the Scots driving imigrants/ migrants out, rigging votes and ending up in mass corruption and genocide - although they were clearly also fed up with Londons' involvement prior.
I merely asked the question as both sides will be guilty of influencing their poll providers to show theirs in favour. This, as I say, is as real as it gets - and in my view, pretty worrying. |

YESSS....
The alternative to independence is 'same again please'... years & years more of the mundane, boring headless-chicken Cameron-Clegg-Milliband public school brigade...
We are continually fed these scare stories from Westminster about how Scotland can't afford to be independent... the truth is it's actually the other way round... the UK can't afford to let Scotland leave ! |

"Who gives a fuck,if cameron is in charge down in westminster we are gonna get fucked ,if salmond is in charge at hollyrood we are gonna get fucked"
You've clearly a passion for what is right. Good news for you then! Salmond won't be in charge. He'll be done once independence is realised. Voting for independence IS NOT a vote for Salmond OR the SNP - it's a vote for real change, to govern our own affairs. To not, get fucked. Don't believe the very biased media we have up here. Vote No and you'll have Cameron again - or worse Miliband, who just seems to be pulling headline grabbing gimmicks out the bag the past few days.

So... you ask for one word answers...no debates... yet you seem to want to start a debate on the subject and repeatedly give us your opinion on a NO vote being bad  |

See the vote is for independance , not who will run the country, if we get the independence then there will be a vote for which party runs the country, Give salmond his dues , hes bringing the opportunity to be independant, once we get that then boot him out .  |

You're right.... the UK is fucked up.
The UK has served a purpose but is now irrelevant, past it's sell-by date.
Do we really want (or need) to be governed by Westminster toffs for another 300 years..?

"Yes, cos we got 18 years of Maggie etc last time we said no"
Maybe my memory is failing me but Maggie was in power from 1979 till 1990 which I think is 11 years.
Somehow I don't think the country would be in the mess it currently is if Maggie was still in power. |

Weird, why are Westminster so desperate to hold on to us? No benefit to Cameron etc according to them. So why? Same reason they have colonised us for 300 years. It benefits them, not us. We pay for everything now, more than pay for it. Scotland has potential to produce 40% of all European renewable energy. Mmmm know answer the question.
Yes yes yes |

Not a debate but..
Do we have to have own currency?
If we do will it be pound for pound or more/less ie the euro?
Do we need to get Scottish driving licenses/ passports?
Will we need to set up our own HMRC?
And how much would all this cost? |

1. No, we would plan to use Sterling, as Falklands and Isle of Man do. It's in the rUks interest to keep that exchange low, if any.
2. Yes once your current one expires.
3. Yes, there was already plans afoot to extend income tax raising powers to the currently devolved parliament, so that would need to happen regardless. Obviously there would be no HM 
4. Tell me a government that can accurately forecast how much anything will cost in 5-10 years time? What we won't have to pay for is Hs2, wars, nuclear weapons etc. The cost of hs2 alone would cover most of that. |

HS2 won't come to Scotland?
Are you sure?
Is that official SNP *policy?
Where will HS2 stop then?
*thats a bit unfair of me cos there's no official SNP policy on anything. |

Correct it won't but as part of the UK we will be paying our share - and good point that it doesn't go to Scotland. So again paying for things that don't benefit the people. Bit like the Olympics, which killed the tourist industry here last year.
Yes I'm sure.
No idea if its SNP policy, could be a labour policy, or a Tory policy or even Tommy Sheridan - whoever is elected post Yes win. What I do know, and clearly one as well informed as yourself should also be aware, is that the plan for income tax raising powers for the SP have been put forward, by Labour I believe. For that they will require their own system.
Don't assume someone is SNP because they vote Yes.

"Holyrood already has income tax raising powers - or it did until John Swinney forgot to renew the paperwork.
3p in the £ either way was the deal."
True (ish), apart from the 'forgot' fabrication, thanks to an outdated and un-useable computer system left by the previous Labour government. |

That is precisely the point.... if Scotland is really such a drain on the Uk economy why is Westminster so desparate to keep Scotland in the UK..?
If Scotland is really subsidised by Westminster why would they want to keep hold of us..?
I hope Scotland votes YES, but I don't see it happening.... because the big bad Westminster scare-tactics machine
will once again frighten off the waverers.... and MaMa Englands' Cameron-Clegg-Milliband clones will whip Scotland back into line, where it belongs....!
As they say... you get the politicians you deserve...  |

Nope, tourism, creative industry, digital industry (who is all playing GTAv right now?), whisky, and others along with energy industry and not needlessly spending £57bn on illegal wars will. |

Go on then? Where does it go? Biggest games producer in Scotland (rockstar north remember, not Rockstar, although in the same group) and I'm pretty confident it hoofs a fair amount of tax in the coffers. However, getting any of them to speak is a different matter.
Your other question? Think its a question? £37bn was the figure as of this year for combined efforts. Obviously these aren't done, so that will increase. Still not really sure what you're asking though. |

Is it £37bn, £57bn or just the number people just make up?
There's a lot of numbers just made in Salmondland. |

Typo in the first post, soz, £37bn is an estimated UK govt figure. Nothing to do with Mssr Salmond - remember the Scottish Parliament voted against each one. That's £2k for every house in the UK. Still independence will never work with all that extra money kicking about eh?
Good point about wanking too. In an independent Scotland it will be free on prescription |

There's not a great deal forthcoming from Lamont land either to be fair. Too busy insulting the 'Virus' nation that we are. |

Salmond's fellow travellers from Calton Hill on Saturday.
"The campaign for Scottish independence has built close links with a far-Right, ultranationalist group whose president last month attacked the “colonisation” of cities by Muslims and demanded the “reconquest of Europe by Europeans”."
"The Vlaamse Volksbeweging (VVB), or Flemish People’s Movement, was an official participant at Saturday’s major rally for Scottish independence in Edinburgh, organised by the SNP-dominated campaign for a Yes vote in next year’s referendum."

"
It was a free for all to attend. I did see that article early in the week and it made me chuckle. Just daft to even consider the comparison.
Though if you want far right comparisons look no further than David blunket today and Ms Lamont again.
