The yes campaign has made a lot of noise but with very little tangible reasoning.
It has mainly consisted of playing the Braveheart theme tune and carrying pictures of Andy Murray.
Also, Alex Salmond is a bit of a Muppet.
"But we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that if there is a ‘yes’ vote that this will achieve very little."
Disagree.....have another read towards the end of my post. This referendum has far reaching consequences than just here in the UK.
Do you honestly want to see the elite getting more and more control over our freedoms, because that's sure as hell what is going to happen if the NO camp win.
"But I probably wouldn’t. I would probably conclude that ultimately it’s a futile and largely symbolic process,"
So you are happy to just let things carry on as they are? How can even a tiny percentage NO win be deemed a symbolic process? That small difference in the voting, no matter who wins can be seen as 'trouble brewing'. However, having lived (and married) in Scotland.....again the 'brits' are expecting trouble and strife......more fear mongering.
It was posted on here, the expectation that when the 3 stoogies went up to campaign for the NO vote there would be trouble....nowt happened. Then there was more expectations over Farage and the Orange men visiting that there would be even more 'trouble on the streets'..........yet again....nowt happened.
With all due respect, people south of the border who are against a independent Scotland, don't have a single clue about how the Scottish heart and mind works. You can thank Hollywood for that I guess.
Regardless of who wins......there will be no trouble on the streets.............If NO wins there will be only an even stronger YES campaign in a dignified and civil manner for an Independent Scotland eventually. Personally I would like to see it happen now, rather than at some stage in the future, as it will inevitably happen, because as I said.......this is more than just about Scotland's Independence......it's about all of common man's freedoms at the end of the day.

1. Who on this forum, in all honesty, would vote NO and therefore by default back the corrupt government, corporations and bankers that rule over us? (watch the video)

That said, it is down to the Scottish, and whilst I would prefer to see a United Kingdom, I wouldn't want to stand in the way of their independence.
Personally I think it will be a bad move for them, economically and especially with regards to healthcare. But Hey what Do I know? I'm part of the tyrannical English that have apparently supressed their evolution as a country....
Didn't watch the vid did you ............so the NO campaign have.....have they?
Pic's or it didn't happen
I agree with you on that point.
Sitting on the fence much?.............Bit indecisive .....but not so sure? You can't have it both ways....not with only 24 hours to go.
See above..............As to the NHS....you better do some homework on the Transatlantic treaty that comes in in November....you will wake up with no NHS ANYWHERE in the UK............another reason Scotland should vote YES, just to keep Obamacare and other American pharmaceuticals off what will be Scotlands NHS with a YES win...........not ours in the rest of the UK. Byebye NHS. Welsh Assembly have already told Westminster what they can do with the TAIP.....it will be futile....the NHS will be history.
As to your last comment..........really? OK......so nobody on here has accused you or any of your fellow countrymen of being 'tyranical'.............and don't start me on "supressing" Scotlands evolution..............you'll have a Scotsman on here listing all the Scottish inventions that the rest of the world owe a debt of gratitude to Scotsmen for!

I would vote no, not because I back the government, but because a united people of Great Britain have more power to cure the cancer at the heart of our society, than a fractured, divided people. I love these isles, and my northern kin, and feel aggrieved that any of them would consider abandoning the Union. I take it as a personal affront that people I consider family by generations old blood ties, apparently feel that the Union is an agreement between nations, rather than the people of those nations. This is a four cornered nation, and so it should bloody well remain.
How people within that nation deal with the rotten, corrupted filth who have been running the country so poorly over the last few decades is a question which needs an answer, and my personal opinion is that the whole of the people of the country should down tools, close up shop for the day, catch a train to the capital and lay siege to Parliament, to Whitehall, and insist on the resignation of every sitting Member of Parliament, every single top end, unelected civil "servant", the entire political establishment, and a new format of government constructed and enacted, to serve ONLY the will of the people. Not corporate interest, not a small cabal of powerbrokers, but the people who make this country what it is, all of us. The Scots, the Welsh, the British Irish, and the English alike. For you see, NONE of us are being represented by our government at the moment, and so it falls to all of us to unite together as one and demand our nation back from those who have stolen it from us.
