Most of the British oil and gas deposits are located within the Scottish borders. If Scotland becomes independent, then England will be forced to import all of its oil and gas from elsewhere.
In case if Scotland becomes independent, both the English and the Scots will be fighting over the North Sea Oil deposits. Most of the deposits are currently under the possession of the English corporations.

Why leave the UK if you're going to stay a part of the EU? You may as well stay with the UK if that's the case.
Hilarious isn't it. The Scots want to withdraw from the UK, a country they have had unfair influence over from the very beginning, and then immediately sell themselves as a slave state into the European Union. Scotland will never be in a position to contribute financially to the EU, thus they'll then claim English money through the EU! If the vote was UK-wide the Scots would be kicked out, and it would not be a close result.

lol... this is funny. David Cameron is one of the most hated political figures in Scotland, and his political party doesn't enjoy any significant amount of success there. His trip to Scotland will only help the YES campaign. If Alistair Darling want to limit the damage which was caused as a result of his ramblings in the TV debate, then he should urge Cameron to postpone his trip.

I am 'impressed' by David Camerons attitude regarding the Scottish referendum. Back in 1999 NATO bombed Serbia and demanded that the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija be granted independence, which it was, without a referendum being held in the entire country, nor could it be, since the Albanian national minority could not be granted independence outside its mother country. Today Kosovo is the main heroin center for Europe. In 2014 Crimea held a referendum, and Britain, together with NATO countries, opposed it, even though Crimea was annexed by Ukraine in 1954. In 2014 we are to see a Scottish referendum. Cameron permits it, but is against Scottish independence. I am now waiting to see how fair this referendum turns out. I find it difficult to believe that Government agencies like MI5, MI6, CIA, and others, will sit back and wait for the results. Its more likeley that we shall see some Government 'aid', like we have in the US during elections, where even the dead rise from the graves to vote. Now thats 'democracy', even fot he dead !

Scott's should ask for international observers , I do not trust one bit Cameron to fix in his fever referendum vote ,someone sad not mater who vote ,important is who count's the vote . This western " democracy " love to cheat and bend truth we see this with information about situation in Ukraine . Mr. Putin should offer Scottish independent Russian observers.

Good idea. If the 'NO' wins, then Putin can always say that this was because of British troops stationed in Scotland. Now where have I heard that before ?

I think in the end it will stay in the UK. For many people the sense of independence does not have much meaning after over 300 years as part of the UK.

I'd say that there is too much religious symbolism for the secular state. Such symbolism would be ok for Iran or Vatican but not for the UK.

A better idea would be to substitute the Scottish colors (Blue) with the Welsh color (Black). Why ignore Wales, when the population there is even greater than that in Northern Ireland? Right now, there is no threat of the Welsh seceding from the UK because the ethnic Welsh are a minority there. But things can change in the distant future.

Cameron is almost begging the Scottish not to leave. This is getting embarrassing

If the vote was UK-wide the Scots would be kicked out, and it would not be a close result. Who said so? An independent Scotland would begin relations with EU, but it will take years before they get membership, if ever. Norway and Switzerland are not in the EU, and they don't want to join. Scotland may follow the same road.

If Scotland does vote Yes the resulting negotiations between Scottish and UK politicians will be as one-sided as a gang rape. Scotland has no idea what it means to have the British government as an enemy.
Strongly hoping for a Yes.
