OK, there are lots of comments online from Scots as to whether they want to stay or leave the union, I'd like to hear from non-Scots. If you were Scottish would you vote to leave the union or stay in it?
I think I'd vote yes for independence - due to the following reasons:
1) Whitehall barely knows or cares the north of England exists - let alone Scotland. Independence would actually mean being governed by politicians who care about the region.
2) There are many small countries around the world which are viable - no reason that Scotland can't be one of them
3) The economic arguments for and against are massive unknowns - but then any predictions made by the same dismal science that utterly failed to predict or understand the global financial crisis needs to be taken with a very large pinch of salt. Economists only seem good at predicting things once they have already happened.
4) It would be an opportunity to have a genuine centre-left government.
What do you reckon and why? Yes or no to independence?
