I don't think he's thought it through, he has spelt out no definate alternatives to this split with England and Wales. He wants to keep things that still hold him to us. Will there be border Police? I presume he will deign to keep the Queen seeing as she has vast estates there.

I get the impression that he is on an ego trip and wants to go down in history as the Scot who freed Scotland from English tyrrany. Ignoring the fact that if he takes the Panama 'dollarisation' option then the Scottish 'pound' will be slaved the the Sterling pound and the Scottish economy will be dependant on the decisions made by the bank of England. So an independant Scotland in name but not in practice, but at least he will have his day of fame, probably followed by centuries of infamy.

if only he was in de Nile

[emmie]

he forgets who bailed them out the last time and the reason for the union in the first place, the man is a nit wit.

[jomifl]

It won't happen again ....

[Hypognosis]

Panama? Wasn't that how they ended up entering the union in the first place? How appropriate.

Must remember to buy a Panama hat, in time for this ballot… ;-)

Lexie is a dangerous man and is on a 100% ego trip and taking a few gullible numpties along with him on said trip. My beloved Scotland will end up a 3rd world country if people are stupid enough to vote yes. We need to vote NOOOOOOOOOO but get rid of Cammy asap.

where are the answers to the financial problems after a yes vote. already -before independence there is panic in the market. Meddling little man. Very worrying. He has no family to follow him. Please NOOOOOOOO.

[anneasquith]

Scotland is NOT voting for AS. nor the SNP .

[Zacs-Master]

But if it is a yes vote, that's who you'll end up with.

[anneasquith]

no zac and a big IF. labour will be the ruling party in Scotland within 1-2 years, not SNP.

[mushroom25]

// we are NOT voting for AS or the SNP. //

if that was what everyone believed, then how is it possible that anyone can say "we're keeping the pound", or indeed anything about what Scottish government policy might look like. what's being postulated is the SNP's view of what independence will look like.

[Zacs-Master]

Looks like a few Scots are in denial also.
