The Yes camp are starting to have scarily similar aspirations to the pro-Russian factions in Eastern Europe.
Quite agree. Worst thing that happened to Scotland was when it virtually became a one party state giving its First Minister far too much power. I'm not keen on Westminster but at least they have a decent sized opposition. Scotland has none and a Yes vote in September will end in this being a dictatorship. We've all seen what happens in other countries where one man thinks he can do what he likes. All power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Besides we don't know what we're voting for with Yes - too many questions unanswered or will only be answered too late. Once done, there's no going back.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
