Yes, why should we stay in a country which doesn't respond to our needs as a people, why should there be people starving and relying on food banks in a supposed rich country, why should we vote no for "some" powers which nobody can agree on us getting when we can vote yes to be fully in charge of our country, why should we partake in more illegal wars that Westminster seem intent on getting us dragged into, why should we have to have nuclear submarines in our rivers which prevent us from reaching valuable oil reserves. Countries which are far smaller than us in size have far more MEP's than us so independence would allow a greater say in Europe. The fact that we give more to Westminster than we get back from them means we would be sustainable, The fact that the NHS (our free healthcare system) and our position in Europe is at threat with
the votes are heading mean it would do us well to gtfo of Britain.
Also the sheer lack of any decent argument by the NO campaign and the obvious bias towards it by the BBC really annoys me which in turn has steered me away from it.
RE Illegal wars Tony Blair is Scottish and 33% of the British Army are also Scottish, Gordon Brown is Scottish and Camoron is a Scot born in London. So I don't think its fair to wash Scotland's hands of any blame regarding that particular subject.
Does "Independence" not include Independence from the EU ?

Wrong. We will use the pound - Its a fully tradable currency that no one can stop us using.
It's actually impossible to join the euro upon independence anyway as you first have to join the ERM II (which is entirely voluntary), then be in it for two years before you get to join the full eurozone.
This is the problem we face. No offense, but your evidently in a position of ignorance, hence accept what they've heard in mainstream media (?). Which is absolutely fine since your in Australia, but the problem is there are countless people HERE who can't be arsed to do the smallest bit of research into the facts and instead just rely on the half truths, omissions, and flat out lies from the MSM, which is utterly biased in their coverage. Hence why the BBC was mentioned above.
Agreed. Don't see it happening though.
Didn't even know that
No.
RE Currency So your currency,Interest rates and Inflation will be controlled by the Bank of England ?
