Re: Do the Scots REALLY want Independance?

Of course DinG, one has to take into account the number of "foreigners" (non-English), that have traditionally served in the British Armed Forces throughout time. Irish, Welsh, Ghurka, Indian, Fijian (and other Pacific Isle nations), South Africans, Australians, New Zealanders, West Indian and many more.
The Scottish Regiments are really that only in name - they are paid for by the British Taxpayer, so it is therefore unlikely that an independant Scotland could afford them.
As this vote affects the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland then all citizens should be entitled to a vote - then Scotland would probably be certain of getting independence.
