Scotland referendum: Prime Minister David Cameron warns vote is 'forever'

[notgoodenough]

I wasnt serious about them joining Eurasia. It was satirical. Learn to spot the difference. And the Scottish are saying many things right now in order to get the yes vote. Once they have it, all bets are off. New elections, new leaders, new parameters. Its like saying the israelis are committed to the peace process with the palestinians just because they say as much.

That would be naive and childlike to take politicians at their word. I think youre the one being chikd like.

You are such a kid.

Sanctions do nothing to Russia. Russia backs Scottish independence to weaken Britain.

Don't get why scots want to separate in an ever shrinking world and risk all the economic and social problems that will accompany it. This Alex salmond don't seem to be contend with First Minister-ship of Scotland but want to be PM of an independent country.

"Scotland's one million pensioners should use their vote and their voice to remind their children and grandchildren of how the NHS and pensions were secured by the power of working together," said former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a major figure in the Better Together effort.

Divide and Rule, highly lethal and successful mantra of erstwhile British Empire seems to be back in action again!

Yes reportedly up to 49%. However, assuming a turnout of say 70%, it all depends on turnout. Methinks yes voters will turn out en mass, no voters not so much.

If I though thats completely serious I would not bother to reply at all. My point that Scots tend to be more liberal pro democracy, pro gay rights and stuff like that than more conservative English. Thats why they would be more anti Russian Eurasian and stuff.

Scotland is a nobody. Nobody even takes Scotland seriously. Russia backs Scottish independence to weaken Britain.

I do agree with this point. But Scotts are also very anti imperialist. They are the ones that helped keep the uk out of a few american made for tv wars in recent years. I honestly have no idea which way they will go if they get independence. I dont see them being nato lapdogs btw.

Small countries need protection more than big. Look at Norway, despite their super socialist views they are one of the biggest NATO lapdogs.

Scotland and Ireland historically mind their own business. Scotland and Ireland are are far away from everyone.

regardless Scotland go independent or not, this will cause the chain reaction and set a role model for others such as catalunya.

Another salient point. But lets put this into perspective for a second. Who on earth would attack Scotland? I mean other than England? Nobody. And if they were attacked by an outside force, im sure england would, for its own interests, get involved militarily. Regardless of what they are saying now.

You contradict urself. First u say Scotland is nothing then u say it will weaken Britain. Scotland is 10% of British GNP, nothing significant. Moreover, if Scotland will vote for independence then oil rich Orkney and Shetland Islands will break from Scotland and remain in UK, so impact will even less than 10%.

Who on earth attacks Norway other than Sweden and Denmark? Yet these socialist ultra liberal guys are NATO lapdogs.
