A lot of the reason we are being given for a 'Yes' vote make no sense as the Scottish Parliament has the reign over quite a lot of things like the police, it was the SNP that decided on one force and the NHS. The SNP have also not raised the council tax the whole time they have been in power in Scotland and if they had done so these 'cuts' that need to be made to services would not be happening to the extent at which they have been.
The people I hear bleating on for 'yes' are the low class and unemployed, I've said it from day one as they always say they will have improved benefits in a independent Scotland, where is this money coming from? It was also confirmed on the news last night that 'yes' voters were more likely to be as previously stated but then the poll a week past Saturday which caused almost a melt down in the financial markets was based on 1034 people of which the majority were unemployed and guess what they said they would vote.
I'm also sick to death of hearing Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond bleating on that the Scottish people did not vote for a Tory government. Last time I checked I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Live in Edinburgh, Scotland and I've even got ginger hair, freckles and pale skin just to make it more stereotypical....yip I'm Scottish and in the last election I voted for Mr David Cameron and his party and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. Not everyone in Scotland votes Labour and using the excuse that Scotland doesn't get the government it votes for is just utter BS! It's a democracy and you win some and you loose some. I will never vote Labour whilst they are in tow with the Unions. So an independent Scotland may have a labour government that I would not have voted for, does that mean that I can have my own independent state in my back garden? No!
It's looking more and more like they want to run the country like a dictatorship and I now regret my vote for the Scottish Parliament where I voted for Alex Salmond to be first minister. Their polices were great but completely forgot all about the independence referendum they wanted to have but then I don't think most people thought they would get a majority meaning they can pass anything they want through. My point is if it was a Labour government doing everything a different way would they want to make Aberdeen Independent as there is quite a big SNP following up there. Where does it stop?
Anyway rant over and I think it's clear that I'm voting No for many reasons and mainly because my family would be broken up as myself and my partner would need to move as well as my sister and husband with their two children because our jobs would move. It's a very real reality and something the Yes say won't happen but it will!
