    And what about the ***dreds of thousands who ain't allowed to vote although technically still in the same country?

    And what about the other 50,000,000+ people who will be effected who don't have a say?

    When I look at all the Scots living abroad who are not allowed to vote, and then I look at all the Poles, Romanians, English, Irish and other Eastern European types who've only been in Scotland a few years, and they'll be allowed to vote, I'm thinking the NO vote should have a -10 pt handicap.

    The vote is not fair.

    It's rigged in favor of a NO vote.

    Only Scots-born residents should be allowed to vote.

    The whole thing is f**ked up beyond belief and has already done so much damage to Scotland.


    No matter what the outcome the people are now divided and will identify with either being a Yesser or a No Camper long after this shiit has been put to bed.

    Was about 90% of the population of Scotland not governed by a party they never voted for, against their will?

    Doesn't really matter who you're governed by your every day life doesn't change that much.

    Tory/Labour/Holyrood... Not exactly life changing.

    What a load of sh1te!

    We will all have family, friends and neighbours who will be voting for the different sides but nothing will become of it.

    What has happened though, is that people have been taking an interest in politics for the first time in a long time and this can only be good.

    One of the reasons for this is that the Scottish people can see that this time, their vote will count. Hopefully this will open their eyes to the fact that, if we do get independence, SMPs in Edinburgh will be far more accountable than the MPs of Westminster have been.

    I think you'll find that's far from the truth. It was set up through negotiations between all the political parties in Scotland, and the UK government in Westminster.

    It would leave a country that had what 51% of the population wanted.

    Or maybe you think it would be morally wrong to give 51% of the population what they want
