I am in Glasgow right now getting ready to go out and watch the historic event from the heart of this fine city
I thought all along they will stay within the union
However the amount of youngsters that are wearing the Scottish flag and in favour of leaving I think may swing this the other way
Either way as a democratic process I have gone from not giving a shit to actually thinking that it's a great opportunity for those who it concerns most have the chance to cast a vote that changes the whole UK map potentially
As a fan who lives in Scotland, I'd be stunned if Scotland didn't win independence today.
well, the polls only momentarily put you ahead only last week. Before then it was strongly no. I'd be stunned if they vote for independence, sorry for the scottish for making a terrible decision and say good luck in the harsh wide world.
I'm fully expecting to wake up tomorrow with Scotland being a part of the United Kingdom
I can't see how England would allow it, at least not in my lifetime. The amount of taxpayers' money, time and resources that has been pissed away on this fiasco cannot possibly justify having a re-run for at least another 100 years. Unless the SNP want to fund it themselves, then no thanks, I'd rather spend the money on something remotely useful.
Salmond has come out to say he wont be pushing for another referendum anytime soon. Could be an attempt to swing it to yes "this is a once in generation chance" - but I expect he will stay true to that and his speech will be about working together for the new powers and a stronger Scottish government.
My hope is a larger yes majority, but think it could still be:
Yes 53 No 47
For me, this isn't about Salmond, the SNP or the current politicians in Westminster. This is however, the chance for Scotlands people to take control of their country and build a stronger Scotland. Their chance to take control of their own affairs and make decisions on whats best for them as every country should have the ability to.
Also, whats not to say that a Yes vote wouldn't galvanise politics across the rest of the UK and set in motion some much needed changes?
Online polls are notoriously inaccurate as all the participants are self-selected. Therefore there is no way to get a fair representation of any given population.

The ages 16-22 will swing it. They're heavily in favour of breaking away from the righter-wing England to set up some kind of Liberal paradise.
No: 56%
