Rob, How true, What i cant get my head around is the 2 debates which i have both watched, You have Alex Salmond, Scotlands first minister and Alistair Darling ? A labour M P. Danny Alexandra has had a little input for the coalition. Would it not be more informative to have a Concervative minister taking the stand after all the vote is in 2 weeks and at present it is a Conservative led government in Westminster. Or are the Scottish people not getting true answers that they deserve because at the end of the day its the Conservative led coalition that will have the last say in all this very

#44, Terry, Scotland being a predominantly Labour Country has used Mr Darling as I believe using Mr Cameron may swing it for Mr Salmond!....

Re: SCOTLAND by 10,Downing Street.
Yes Marian I agree completely, But the people Alex Salmond and co, Will be dealing with initially are Conservatives, And we all know what they can be like when they open their box of tricks, I hope for the sake of the Scottish people the result of the referendum whatever way it goes suits them. I still say that the referendum should have been taken by the whole of the u.k. on Scottish independence not just Scotland itself. Regards hun hope all is well in your world Terry.

Re: SCOTLAND by 10,Downing Street.
To start with , I have no say in whether Scotkland stays or goes , so I can look at the tiresome debate from a fairly independent stance , I watched part of the Darling / Salmon debate last night before the pain became overwhelming and I turned over , if faced with voting for King Alec or Eyebrows McDarling , then I think I would rather vote for unfiction with the Ukraine than either of the choices proposed by those pair of ..........
