Kind curious if this is just about England, or do they want a split from the European Union as well?
It's a vote by all registered Scottish citizens to become an independent, self-sufficient country from what I gather.
I can only relate to it by thinking about the Quebec referendum and what that may have meant for my own country.
Though in this case there's a much much longer history of that desire.

Not really going to keep an eye on it. The result is going to be yes. I have no doubt about it. What I will keep on eye on is how long it takes the Scottish folk to realize their mistake.
I think it'll be the opposite.
No. Stick with the same.
Scotland has a chance to go free, but will stay with what's already working.
Everyone's afraid to rock the boat in this corporate run society, one mistake and you're out of a job blah blah.
I would hope that they would vote in favor of freedom, but the pull of being "protected" is strong in many.
Excuse my ignorance, but what is that supposed to mean? Mel Gibson is an Irish/Scott.
Born American but moved to Australia at the age of 12 according to wikipedia.
It looks like a No for sure at this point.
Scotland remains under the umbrella of the British Empire and all the security that goes along with that.
To me it's nice to see a democratic solution (a vote among those affected directly) happen and an outcome from that versus a violent approach.
Hopefully England will see that near half of Scotland isn't feeling like it's getting a fair shake in the deal and make amends.
If I were living in Scotland I would have voted Yes though.

That, or the reference was obvious and I pointed out the irony in him being raised in Australia. Who knows for sure though?
That joke went right over your head didn't it.
I think we we're all joking, but at some point took it all too seriously. In the end, this is what we get for getting involved in Scottish politics.
That said:
Words, beliefs and reality are... sometimes at odds. Good on yee, dodged the bullet of finding out freedom isn’t free, and economic collapse.
