Scottish Independence Referendum - 18 September 2014

Best of luck!

^^^^^

I think you Scottish should center your campaign on British History with emphasis on the imperialism years, that will undoubtedly win the yes campaign votes

Lets say Scotland achieves Independence: What would the political situation look like? Who would be the (main) party of the right?

SNP, duh, just as today.

I thought apart from the Independence parts on their platform they were social democrats.

Why is support for independence dropping? the last poll I saw it at only 30% support

Let's suppose that independence-proponents lose narrowly in the upcoming September referendum -how much of an effect will the results have on the 2015 Scottish parliamentary elections?  Is the SNP safe regardless?   

Unless I am mistaken, the SNP won their victories despite support for independence being less than huge in the past, so I don't see a narrow loss really having that much of an impact. Considering polling over the past year, the loss being narrow could be spun as the Yes vote over performing expectations and momentum being on the side of independence. A landslide loss though would obviously be embarrassing and bad for the SNP.

The UK government has kindly informed Scotland that if they do in fact do the deed, they will lose the pound sterling, and will have to make do with an alternative -perhaps adopting the euro.  

Would Scotland really have a problem with joining the Eurozone though? I was under the impression that they were more favorable towards the EU/Eurozone than the rest of the UK.

This should clearly be the alternative flag on standby in case Scotland leaves. Just remove the blue.
