Passion or pocketbook? Which will sway the voters? Who will turnout?
The passion is all one way - independence.
The pocketbook issues have been muddied by competing claims. I could see folks being afraid to change anything that might disrupt their benefits, but the separatists claim that they will lose their universal health coverage if they don’t separate. The oil, the currency, the banks, the sub bases - all have claims on both sides.
I’m on the edge of my seat for this one. I’ll probably stay up till the results are in tonight.
I really don’t know enough to express an opinion, BUT .. my gut instinct is that it has the sense of something that would “feel good” short term, but in 5 years Scots wake up with a hangover, asking “what were we thinking?”
