This for our family and friends north of the border is the final straw listening to eckies mob haranging the BBC's Andrew Marr then this guy an MP, Pete Wishart, claimed that there would be “consequences” what a shower if this is the world of the SNP heaven help us if we have to live under this mob. Bigots every one as far as I can see. My Bro says he's coming sooth!!! if it happens.

Well done! You managed a post without mentioning Caithness or Peterhead................ just.

But - just because you have family north of the border - it doesn't make your opinion any more valid (or less) than any other non-Scottish resident.

Go on - give us another anecdote from north o' e Ord................ :blast

Oh! - and Scotland is not commited to a lifetime of SNP - we plan on having elections.

Al:rolleyes:
 
Well not really anecdotal but just to reiterate all I've said family, friends from my fishing communities are with one voice No. Oh I have got property in Edinburgh by the way. Still with all my conversations with them it's strange I've yet to come across one of my friends who thinks diffently to me. Anyway may the best man win, but I don't think Bro will be heading sooth. Do you???
 
The "will he/wont he head sooth" drama of Fishy23's "Bro" (how cool these Loons frae Peterheid are becoming nowadays, eh?) has taken this September vote up to a new level of excitement. I really cant wait now to find out if "Bro" is staying up here and gracing us with his presence or if he will be taking his skills over the border for good.

The added excitement of now discovering that Fishy is a property owner in Edinburgh is almost overwhelming.

Roll on September is all i can say :clap
 
Can anyone help? I keep asking but no one seems to have a 'sensible' answer. I have even asked the cybernats on the Scottish Herald's comments section but all I get is abuse and the question is deleted within minutes. So much for freedom of speech and discussion.

Can someone explain how an independent Scotland will operate without a currency outside Europe and how it will fund itself without relying on wishful thinking, bluster or copy and paste?

Someone? Anyone? Please.

If they aren't registered to vote then they wouldn't be able to vote for anything and not just this. That has nothing to do with the SNP, yes vote, no vote or even the better together campaign. It's not a special con that Alex has sneakily written into the rules or any other dirty underhanded trick. It's the way it is for every other vote. If you don't register you don't get a vote, pure plain and simple.
 
I wonder how the Scots in the armed forces will vote? I assume those who vote No would stay in the UK army (if the YES group win) and those who vote Yes would join the new Scottish defence force. Has anything been said officially of what will happen to the many thousands of Scots in the 'British' army, navy and airforce?
On another note, I've recently had a long conversation with my next door neighbour on the independence issue. he originally comes from Dumfries, a proud Scot but definitely a Unionist.

Because you post to me seems to be inferring that not many of them are registered to vote and that this is a problem with this particular referendum.
 
from experience most of them will not be registered.If you are overseas serving in HM Forces or with Her Majesty's Government then you are entitled to vote at all elections in the UK. In order to register as a service voter you will need to complete a service declaration, which is valid for up to five years. Crown Servants can complete a crown servant application form which lasts for one year. Forms are available from www.aboutmyvote.co.uk or from Electoral Registration Officers, if you are a service voter, you can also contact your unit registration officer for a form. You need to register at an address where you have lived in the past or where you would live if you were not posted overseas (most people choose the local government area they feel most connected to). You can apply to vote by post or proxy. Postal votes are sent out approximately one week before polling day, so if you are not likely to be able to receive and return a postal vote in that time, it would be better to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf. Proxy voters do not need to live in the area you are registered in, and can apply to vote by post on your behalf.

Service personnel and their spouses or civil partners resident in the UK may register in either of two ways. They may register as ordinary electors, or they may register as service voters as described above. Electors registered either way may apply to vote by post or proxy.
I hope this clarifies the matter for you.
