The Scottish Independence thread - Yay or Nay?

Could be an interesting and historical 24 hours. This is no ordinary election where you can vote the government out after four years if they screw up. This is a no-return scenario, I assume. Any miscalculations will have permanent consequences.

There's going to be bickering no matter the result, but in the event of a YES vote I suspect the bickering will be a great deal more acrimonious and drawn out. I do expect that whatever happens, whatever the margin, there will be the usual allegations of vote-rigging and ballot box-stuffing. It sounds like there is already an English backlash brewing against the promises that have been made to Scotland by the party leaders in the event of a NO vote.
