To wonder how you're voting in the Scottish Referendum and why?

[deeedeee]

a month away from the vote thought it would be interesting to ask

( no bunfighting , derision or soundbites please. just yes or no and why. feel free to post more than once with different reasons. No links unless independent fact or opinion, nothing from the official campaigns)

I'm a YES

because Westminster's failed to protect the vunerable and the UK's me first politics have taken us down a particularly nasty path. An independent Scotland leans towards to left and can potentially choose a better route. And if a change happens in scotland then I think that that could inspire a change in the direction of politics in the rest of the UK.

Jesus Salmond is a bully.He asks questions and talks over the answers.

Ma Heed! Honestly, what a screaming match!

I think Salmond has forgotten he's meant to be making friends and trying to influence people, not playing to his pre-existing supporters.

Wow after watching that all I can say is good luck guys!

On a completely unconnected and shallow matter the building they are holding the debate is quite beautiful

That's funny, just saw someone I know in that montage sequence.

Wow after watching that all I can say is good luck guys!

Yes indeed! I think I'd be terrified if I was Scottish right now!

And yes, the building is stunning!

Yes he is. And a very pompous one too.

I don't see Salmond as being a bully. His arguments are better, that's all. Roll on 18/9.

Never seen Salmond debate before, he's vile.
Darling looked so flustered I started feeling sorry for him.

Yep, that fairer and nicer society we're going to get after a Yes vote presumably doesn't include basic manners, like indoor voices and letting the other person speak!

Yes blardy hell. How long do you get stuck with Salmond if everybody votes yes?

Darling has been finger pointing and talking over Salmond. His body language has at times been very aggressive. I'm not a fan of Salmond but he's kicked Darling's arse tonight.

Couldn't hear his arguments as he continuously shouted over Darling.He was domineering and hectoring.Shouting over somebody particularly when you've just asked the question doesn't make your argument better it just makes you look rude.

His arguments aren't better though, are they? He trots out woolly platitudes with no logic behind them.

Wow, that must have been odd, squoosh!

Such fun

Fans of Salmond will applaud his performance tonight, I doubt he's garnered many new supporters though. Shouty and sneery.

How can someone kick someone's arse with lies and claims that just cannot work in real life (e.g. the debt)?

Ah what a lovely place to find that out, Euphemia!

Very posh Euphemia, well chosen toilets indeed!

Better Together your boy took a hell of a beating.

This is about what Salmond wants and not what is best for Scotland IMO. He is awful, just awful

I'm not a fan of Salmond but he's kicked Darling's arse tonight.

Really? I think he has come across really badly. No substance to what he says at all.

Don't think Darling is doing great either. They're both talking over each other so much, it's really off putting.

It is quite fun being in the thick of things.
