Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted February 15, 2014 ... Then why do the English, Welsh and Norn Iron people not have a say as to whether Scotland should or shouldn't have independence? Personally I think independence will be a bad thing for the Scots and I have a funny feeling that the English would vote Scotland out of the union. That Salmond clown is pretty clueless! The basic economic figures are (taken from the Scottish government website itself) that 45.2bn comes into the economy and 64.5bn goes out with the rest being subsidised by the rest of the UK. Those figures take into account, the Scottish share of the oil and gas industry. Also 17% of Scotlands gdp is spent on health. That can't be a good thing and I'm sure free subscriptions and universities will have to be re thought. Discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted February 15, 2014 It's worse than that I think, ive heard if a scot isn't currently resident in Scotland they can't vote either. I better not say what I think as an Englishman, I'm a keyboard lover not a warrior :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
