I am half Scots-Irish as well. I watched the recent debate between Salmond and Darling. Salmond’s appeal appears to be that of a jobs program, I.e. independence equals jobs.
I get the distinct impression that the Scots want independence just cuz.
That and the fact that the SNP is repulsively leftist doesn’t argue for success. I do fear for Scotland.
“I get the distinct impression that the Scots want independence just cuz.”
They have an identity, history, culture, etc. - different than their overlords. They do not believe their interests are best represented in a government far away. I do not blame them at all for wanting to pick up the reins of independence.
I would vote yes to independence.
