I'm a Scot- living in England but with property in Scotland. I can't and shouldn't be able to vote as this is about independence for the people who live in Scotland and want to decide who governs the country in which they live.
If I could vote I would vote No- for a whole myriad of reasons which have all been well debated elsewhere.
I'm coming round though to hoping that the vote is Yes as I've read and heard so much bile from the Yes campaign that I frankly would like the divorce to take place now, messy and expensive as it might be, because if we stay together the political scene will be dominated by disaffected Yes voters who will cause nothing but trouble for decades. Alex Salmond ,with his antics, has split Scotland dangerously down the middle and that small relatively unimportant country will be a pain in the backside for years if we stay together.
So- go Scotland. Be independent. Fend for yourselves. I genuinely hope that all your dreams come true and that you are prosperous.
But get off the backs off the rest of us and let us get on with governing the rest of the UK without your belligerent interference.
But if you go- then go completely, in its financial, economic, political entirety
