Scottish Independence debate

This could be one of the nastiest cans of worms opened this decade. I don’t see how there is a happy ending one way or another whichever route is taken.

As an Englishman living in Edinburgh, Scotland, I’m not too concerned whether Scotland becomes independent from England except from the fact I don’t wish for Scotland to become worse off from the split. Personally a free Scotland makes no odds, just don’t want my life being more of a struggle than some age-old pride war.

It is certainly going to be interesting what choices they put on the poll. A straight Yes or No, or Yes, No, Yes but with some caveats to help both countries. I’d hope for the Yes, No, Don’t give a Fuck option.

Then comes the question of who gets to vote. Will it only be Scottish people living in Scotland, anyone living in Scotland wherever they are from, Scottish people in Scotland and Scots all over the World. It wouldn’t be fair to allow only Scots in Scotland to vote, because I have every right as does every Pole, Canadian, American who reside in Scotland.

Going to be an interesting couple of years for sure :D
