The Yes campaigners are using increasingly nasty tactics and are deliberately trying to stifle debate. Scotland deserves better than this. I just wish I was able to vote.... hang on though, I could buy one on ebay as they had plenty for sale yesterday.

How can you verify the seller votes the way you said to?

"The Yes campaigners are using increasingly nasty tactics and are deliberately trying to stifle debate. "
And you know this how? Because the people in the No campaign said so? Meanwhile, the UK government's Department of Work and Pensions issued a memo to staff saying it was their duty to vote No.
"It is important that, as civil servants, we understand why the Scottish independence referendum is different from elections such as a UK General Election or a European Election. This is because the UK government has a clear position to maintain the Union and so it is legitimate and necessary for UK civil servants to support the government in this objective." (August 19, 2014)

People were selling their votes and the police are investigating. Just over a quid each.
I've tried debating independence with Yes campaigners, it's like nailing treacle to the wall - they don't want a debate, just shouting louder and louder to drown out any dissenting voices. Organised harassment campaigns via twitter and facebook against any No campaigners are a disgrace. This isn't democracy. I have relatives in Scotland who were 'don't knows', but the bullying they are getting from Yes campaigners is swaying them to the No camp. It's an absolute disgrace.

Why doesn't England get a say regarding the Union?
I reckon the vote would be pretty solidly in favour of a split....

Question: If Scotland goes independent, what will they do for currency?

I'm afraid to put a NO sticker in my car window in case it might get smashed. Some YES capmaigners are incapable of rational thought, shouting "freedom!" or "traitor!". Freedom from what? We aren't an English colony. Scotland signed the Act of Union after going bankrupt thanks to plans to set up a South American colony. That fact escapes their woad coloured minds.
