    I would love for Scotland to be independent. Unfortunately they won't vote for it.

    Doesnt seem like Scotland can economically survive without being part of the UK, but my knowledge is quite limited.

    I think they could definitely survive, that's not an issue,I think they would be marginally worse off because they would lose a lot of UK government jobs that are disproportionately based in Scotland but they have a financial services sector, agriculture, luxury goods manufacture and fishing.

    Their major problems would firstly be currency because they would have to use Sterling, the Euro or Their own currency and each has big problems and secondly EU membership which they would have to apply for and Spain would be likely to block them.

    I think in the Long term it would be good for them since they would have to change their whole political system from voting in politicians who just try and get as much money from Westminster to a system that has to maximise business interests. Scottish parties would have to become more right wing as they became self reliant.

    It would aid England too.

    There will be further devolution. Since independence is exteremly unlikley the next best thing is independence i everything but foreign policy, currency and defence. This solves the issue of the Pound and EU membership.

    Make your mind up!

    You support the Cameron point of view but ridicule any other point of view with cynical rants!

    You don't understand how someone can be in favour of something but realise the popular support isn't there? How very odd!

    Now tell us all about Churchill and the Boer War concentration camps and why you have to invent a pathetic libel connecting the two.

    I'm very sorry but if you're ignorant of the fact , I cannot be held responsible.

    May I point out, facts aren't libellous, regardless of your bias.

    Everything I have said can easily be accessed on the net.

    What is it about you liars?

    You post utter sh1t then refuse to back it up. Its libellous because it isn't a fact.

    There is nothing on the net that shows that Chruchill had anything to do with Concentration camps in the Boer war. You won;t post it because it doesn't exist.

    youa re like every other patrhetic liar here who makes ridiculous claims then refuses to prove it.

    Wow you are a holocaust denier as well as a liar

    This rather ridiculous site which doesn't prove Churchill ran any concentration camps in the boer war indeed doesn;t even claim he has any responsibility also denies the holocaust of the jews in WW2 even happened.. here is your nasty little sites link to the british camps in South AFrica...no mention of churchill.

    Churchill was a reporter during the boer war. he hadn't even been elected to Parliament by then so how you think he was in government is proof enough of your lunacy but the fact you are following a site that actively denies the Holocaust.

    You wank on about how left wing you are but really you are a National socialist, a holocaust denying Nazi. Obviously you take after those Scottish nationalists who tried to sabotage the UKs war against Hitler.

    I'm a humanist first, and open minded, but how do you manage in all that darkness?

    So still no evidence for your absurd claims about Churchill. Just a rather pathetic liar aren't you! Why would I want to read your unpleasant neo nazi approved website?

    Have a nice day!
    Reading anything enlightens ones outlook, better than self imposed blinkers?

    I think they would have a good relationships and ties with the UK ,but that does not mean the UK will be allowed to control the internal affairs like the current situation..Of course if they choose to have a monarchy ,it would be the queen of Scotland.i think it would be better not to be a part of commonwealth of have a parliament resembling Westminister.

    Why would an independent Scotland NOT want to be part of the Commonwealth? You aren't an American are you?

    Obviously if they were independent then the UK would not control internal affairs and Scots would no longer be able to back a Labour government in England.

    The Queen is Not the head of state of most Commonwealth countries.

    The SNP very much want to be part of the Commonwealth and have declared as such.

    The SNP have also stated they wish to retain the Queen as the Scottish head of state.

    But you have arbitrarily decided that Scotland should not be in it.

    Aye right enough..... No balance from the Scottish nation extremists rule... Okay!

    But at least we will still have the NHS, unlike the English and welsh nations.

    What. You haven't heard..... The 2012 sell off?
    Aye but we have only been only ones to date to suffer from your aristocracy.
    And the Tory parasites!
    All the very best to your future, most in England don't understand the need to stand against fascism, as did their English fore bearers did during ww1and ww2, and this past two generation have sold out there own nation.
