Scottish independence - The Official Atlas Forum mock referendum

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

If I were a Scottish voter, I would vote NO.

Not going to happen Jack... btw - you do know what the IRA is don't you?

I am torn about this -on the one hand I support self-determination.  On the other hand, I do not want to see the United Kingdom (our main ally and, to wax sentimental, our mother country) any weaker than it already is. 

Breaking up the cancerous Empire is bad now?

Oh do be quiet.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

It's an overwhelming 'meh'

I think too many don't understand what this 'Independence' actually is, and think this is about imperialism or Monarchy or some other strained buzz-word. When in fact they're the elements that aren't going anywhere.

I'm not Scottish, I don't have a vote, but frankly, if I were Scottish, considering how badly the Yes campaign has addressed some very basic concerns, and just dismissed them as scaremongering... when some of them are actually scary... I'd vote No.

But in the end - it's the Scottish people's decision and they have to live with the consequences, for good and ill for whatever they choose.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Yes.

Because this would be the kind of harmless chaos That I love.

For you perhaps.
