The cost to update Westminster is reported to cost millions plus. If we were independant we would not incur this cost. Another reason to vote yes in 2014. Incidently, it was suggested in Westminster today that the parliment could be decanted to Birmingham our second city. I would have thought since at present we are a UK it would only be respectful to refer to Edinburgh as the second city, do you not agree?

No, Compared to B'ham Edinburgh is a little village.

My complaint about my money being spent on Westminster is based on the belief that Westminster does not have Scottish interests at heart, where the SNP government in Edinburgh does.

what independence would Scotland have in a Federal Europe?

What would it cost Scotland to be part of it?

Do you think a Federal Europe would have Scotland`s best interests at heart?

Do you think that the Scottish people want to be part of a Federal Europe?

I would only give my support for an Independent Scotland out-side of The European Union.

What would be wrong with gaining Independence and declaring ourselves a Neutral State.
