    Now I'm going to be away for a few days. I don't want to hear about any bickering or scrapping while I'm gone. Be nice to each other and play bonny. OK?

    I've voted NO in this poll but must admit I'm more undecided at the moment...was staunchly NO at the beginning but now wondering if it would be better as an independent country....will keep on trying to read unbiased reports about it and make my mind up when faced with the bit of paper before me....heart or head?

    'Blossom' by Lesley Riddoch is an inspiring read. It leans towards Yes but it totally lacks any SNP/nationalist propaganda. It is available on kindle
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Are you referring to the same non-grown ups whom the Labour party and Libdems have a policy to also be given the vote? If that is the case then it is pretty shallow of them to oppose them having a say in indyref.

    Surely they're not going to give the vote to Labour and Libdem supporters, whatever next, tut tut.

    That is rubbish it is all about the SNP going in to history books like Tony Blair who does not give a damn what happens why should they if it all goes wrong they will just blame someone like Tories fault I really love the part they say if you vote yes you will never need to vote for Tories again. You can do that now with devolution that is why we got the SNP in Scotland and why people are not happy with way Scotland has been run.

    Well said scout. It is most definately Alex Salmonds baby, he has been spouting waffle about independence since the 70's, I honestly think if Scotland wanted independence there would be a better chance without him heading it up. Or better still if the referendum question was asked to the whole UK, I think it would be a landslide yes.

    So why has Scotland returned an SNP-led government through proportional representation?

    I cant help but feel that the YES vote will not win the vote.
    The No campaign will lose it.
    Whilst I am against the breakup of the UK I feel the No campaign has been totally unconvincing.
    Mind you the jam tomorrow of the YES campaign leaves me cold.
    I have not seen any form of credible business plan for Scotland PLC.
