Whatever the result, at least the Scottish people have been given the right to self-determination.

http://www.un.org/en/decolonization/declaration.shtml

"The subjection of peoples to alien subjugation, domination and exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, is contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and is an impediment to the promotion of world peace and co-operation.

All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development."

Exactly! Funny how alex salmond has campaigned for this for a long time now, n not once has any of tue opposition, especially gordon brown (scottish himself), has ever felt the need 2 do a counter campaign. Yet as soon as the weeks close in, he suddenly starts a tour of scotland, pathetic! Also this will set a precedent for belgium, quebec, basque and catalans to press ahead with their seperation from their respective countries. People thought yugoslavia couldnt break up, and especially during the cold war, the soviet union could break, buy they all did, n hopefully fake nations like india/pakistan will also break.

For a long time Alex has slowly and steadily built up a following while others were arrogant thinking there was no chance the the Scottish would be united , intelligent enough to weigh up the pros and cons for themselves and go for a break from southern control , but look at history ...it makes senses that they will go for it especially with the global warming mismanagement ...there will not be a lower part of England if the polar caps go.

For people like me living in the UK its a good thing that's happened.

Unity is very powerful. Just look at the Jewish community to see what can be achieved with it. Alternatively, at this point in time, look at us (Nanak Naam Leva Sikhs) we haven't got unity and we're being attacked and torn internally and externally on all fronts!

So sad

Alex Salmond supports a seperate Sikh state. Think we shouldve shown the snp some support too!! We're so crap at politics
