Scottish independence

[5/9 Turtle]

The vote is coming up, what do you think will happen

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

The current polls indicate that the Scottish will vote yes, but I think in the end many will prefer the status quo to the unknown. I guess we will find out tomorrow.

What's the big deal?  And are they declaring their independence from the British?  I've heard almost nothing...

They are voting on whether they will remain part of the UK. This has economic implications (Scotland has oil, what will tier currency be?, etc.), and political implications (they are more liberal than the UK, there will be political tensions, will they participate in world events such as the coordinated attack on ISIS, etc.).

As a Canadian I am wondering if it will affect Quebec and if it wants to take action and separate from Canada. Should be interesting

BTW: they voted no, and will not declare independence (45%-55%).
