When you look at the YouGov polls there is not much in it its about 50/50 at the moment. Some people who are undecided and don't know who to vote for will probably not vote or vote no.

I can understand why some Scots want to go independent its because they feel disillusioned by the Government and its not just Scots who feel disillusioned by the Government but most of England especially the North. We have a Government and MPs who represent the British public who are out of touch with reality and they come from upper class backgrounds, born with silver spoons in their mouths and went to posh public schools and they say. "Oh I understand and totally sympathise with your problems". They don't understand because they've had everything on a plate and come across very condescending to the public. They screw the underclass and working class by cutting benefits, raising taxes and destroying the NHS and they still expect us to vote for them come the General Election.

This is exactly what's undermined the Better Together campaign from day one.  They've got no coherent plan for how the economic imbalance of the UK can be redressed (something from which we'd all benefit), so they're reduced to scaremongering and bluster.  I'm not sure the Yes campaign's got any more coherent plans, but they can at least offer the hope of something different, which is a powerful draw in hard times.

However, it's a myth that Labour require Scottish votes to get elected; plenty of Labour govs in past elections would have got in purely by English and Welsh votes; there's only been a couple of marginals which Scottish votes have swung.

I think most of the UK is sick and tired of the Westminster elite, hence Scotland is looking at independence, whilst England appears to be taking a more right wing route. If they listened to people they may not be in this mess. Quite right about the myth of Labour relying on Scottish votes to get elected, I think there's nly been 2 instances in the last 50 odd years that they have relied on the Scottish vote, the last time being in 1974, I think.
