The First Minister for the Scottish Parliament, Alex Salmond, has published a draft bill for a referendum on Scottish independence. Voters will have the choice between greater powers or keeping the statues-quo and independence or staying apart of the UK.
Don’t get me wrong, I do believe if Scotland can economically survive on its own and the Government wants to push through a referendum on independence fair enough, that’s for the Scottish people to decide. But, this should only come when we are clearly out of the woods

I would not want to coerce anyone, and if the majority of the Scottish people want independence, they should have it. It has to be total independence though, which is a two way obligation. It cant be independent but still reliant on handouts from England. Scotland must support itself, which I think it will find more difficult than many people imagine. Scottish people have more money spent on them than any other people in the UK and they pay less in taxes. So their choice as far as I am concerned.
