If anyone believes the world's 14th richest country becoming independent would be a "disaster" they are a hyperbolic plum. Why haven't we learned our lesson? Make the case for the union. The scare stories don't work, they just make it worse.

sadly they have no case or we would surely have heard it by now. Future in union is more poverty , more foodbanks , more pain, more nuclear missiles. That is all they have and it does not go down well.
People in Scotland see themselves as victims of the English. Let them have independence and good riddance.
The rUK will no longer be threatened with Labour governments and without the ball and chain of Scottish negativity, prosperity for rUK stretches into the future as far as the eye can see.
What should Labour be doing to improve their frankly pathetic efforts to maintain the union.
Physically restraining George Osborne from crossing the border.
yes, because his statement about currency union really boosted the yes campaign.
You've been following the polling, I see.
I'm hoping for a yes vote. Sadly I think no will win. Either way I'm on a winner as watching Malcolm go in to meltdown if it's no would only be bettered by watching him go into meltdown following no currency union in the event of a yes.
There will be no currency union. We will be left debt free using the pound initially before going to our own currency or euro depending on circumstances at some later date. UK will have 5 years to get Trident out and will be happy to keep all the debt as part of the deal.
I'm not entirely sure you've thought that through......if Scotland reneges on its share of the debt, the rUK does not agree to independence and you don't get into the EU, but apart from that, it's foolproof....

It would tie for 44th with Portugal.......
Worse that that - 57th, between Iraq and Bangladesh:
'The latest figures we have for Scotland's GDP are for 2012, and including a share of UK offshore oil the figure is £145bn. This would put Scotland at about 57 in the UN's list of national GDP - between Iraq and Bangladesh.'

I wonder if he booked his September 19 holiday with Barrhead travel..
He certainly did not , intelligent enough to book my own holidays. That prat has really put his foot into it by trying to browbeat his staff into voting NO. What a deadbeat and his data was incredibly dire , a 5 year old could prove it is mince. Using some Tory halfwits cretinous rants is par for the course for that type of unionist. How did the clown ever build a business, he must have had good staff as on the evidence he is not too bright.
Tell you what malc if blokes who can create wealth and jobs are an embarassment to Scotland send them down here, we'd be delighted to have them.
Alan , he should not be brow beating staff , how they vote is their business. The fact he chose to do it with false info and called the Scottish Government liars is pretty pathetic. Trying to say it was his personal opinion now is pathetic, it was a threat.
If you live in a safe seat of any hue, casting a vote for UKIP will make no difference to the prospects of an Ed Miliband premiership. So the 51% may be absolutely correct in their assessment.
How aware are people of the marginality of their seat though. A poll of marginals asking this question would be of high psephological interest.
The chart in the Lib Dem leaflet will tell them how marginal it is - with the Lib Dem the only party that can defeat the incumbent.

One assumes that in the event of a 'Yes' vote, the Tartan Goons will be hunting down those who voted 'No' to face the consequences. Actually, on second thoughts, they'll do that regardless of the outcome.

The SNP's price tag is "entirely meaningless" as it does not take account of the set-up and training costs required, and it is "questionable" whether it could be established in time for the proposed independence day in March 2016, according to RUSI.
While intelligence sharing with the UK and its partners should not be assumed, Westminster would have a "strong incentive" to co-operate with Scotland to prevent a security gap on its northern border, RUSI said.

Not at all. It's been an eye opener to many who laughed at UKIP only days and weeks ago. Why don't you have a peep at the program?
This poll ignores the fact that 45% of UKIP voters voted Tory in 2010, if they could vote for Cameron when Miliband was not even on the ballot no reason they could not do so again if Cameron hammers home the EU referendum issue.

Yes, but the reason those people are now UKIP supporters is that they don't like what the Conservatives have done, or failed to do, while in government.
AnotherDave Mid term protest, in the privacy of the polling booth given the prospect of Dave and an EU referendum or none, they may well stick to the Tories, after all they can't loathe Cameron like the UKIP core, 'hoodie and husky hugging Dave' was hardly Maggie in 2010 either was he!
I know twitter's no barometer but he seems to have gone down well with the youth, unless I'm totally misreading their adjectives.
There's a bit in it where he talks about the ridiculous governance structure of the EU. I don't think I've ever seen that explained on the BBC even though it's in their remit to 'educate'. Dimbleby should ask Clegg to explain and defend it.
