Scottish independence referendum!

[priggy]

Anyone else here from Scotland? If so, what do you think of the indy debate?


And if you are not from Scotland, what do you think about the Scottish independence debate?

[Dr K Harris]

I personally really don't care what they vote... simply because everyone has a right to vote on what they want to happen in their country. They are practically apart from a border another country anyway. Yes we are going to probably have some money issues but then we always have so nothing new there...

Personally, I see the UK as one country and there are many here in Scotland who would call me a traitor for that view.

Do you honestly not have a view on how this island (i.e. GB) should be governed or this island would be best governed?

[Dr K Harris]

Not really... whomever is in power does something wrong with it.... we are also only united because we beat them in wars or treaties of some kind or other... we always were separate nations even with England.

So this is what is going on in my part of the world.

That seems pretty overwhelming, Priggy. As a Canadian, I am carefully cultivating a lack of opinion on the matter because 1. I don't have a say and 2. I kind of think it's none of my business. But I can't help my mind wondering how comparisons between Scotland and Canada would really play out.

One of the towns in the video is my town. There has been reference to the Quebec referendum in 1992 over here.

I am not a nationalist so I'm open to hearing the views of others from around the world.

[priggy]

My country may fall to nationalism on Thursday! I'll need cheering up if that happens.

[Dr K Harris]

Scotland you should be damn proud of yourselves... you have shown the rest of us how to be democratic and to do it with pride! I know I have some very disappointed friends but you should be proud still... hugs

Sorry, I've been away for so long. Head has been in this referendum. It was incredible.

[karinsuezen]

all I'm going to say is that it's opened up the debate about quebec leaving again, which I wish that they'd leave alone, but..

I thought that might happen. Quebec people might think its more likely.

[karinsuezen]

sadly I agree about that comment.
