  13. They started asking a while back... http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-politics/4585-tavish-scott-orkney-and-shetland-could-secede-from-scotland http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9156220/SNP-admits-Shetland-and-Orkney-could-opt-out-of-independent-Scotland.html
  14. No, David Cameron & Co. Or Milliband and Co. in 2015.... Yikes...
  15. I think a civil war might be the best option.... especially as the SNP have pledged not to use the nuclear weapons currently located in their territory....
  16. And therein lies the main 'problem' with the choices on offer.... no one will know the terms of separation for certain until AFTER the referendum. The referendum is all about the Scots deciding if they want to go down the separation path in principle. If they win the 'yes' vote, then that simply gives the Scottish government the mandate to approach the UK government to negotiate the separation terms and conditions. So, whatever arrangement is pedalled during the campaign, there's no guarantee the UK government will agree to it, or visa versa. That said, its quite clear that Salmond wants a "cake and eat it" outcome....taking all the best bits and leaving all the bad.

  18. I don't doubt that's their long term aim, but it's not what is on offer in the short term. I guess they "get away" with asking the question in the way they have as there's no timescale attached to it. Retaining sterling and dependence on the Bank of England, along with sticking with the UK welfare and pension systems and the retention of the Queen of head of state isn't exactly what I'd call "independent". Also, what happens if/when the next Scottish government voted for in 2016 is Labour, who are against breaking away?
  19. I'd prefer a more inclusive referendum asking EVERYONE in the UK the same question: "Do you want to break up the United Kingdom?"
  20. The referendum is asking the wrong question. The question is "Should Scotland be an independent country?" but it's not complete independence that is on offer. And why is it only the Scots that are being asked whether they want to break up the UK or not? Surely the rest of the UK should have a say too?
