Short memory? 51 percent voted yes to independence. But the cookies in charge were smarter back then and built in conditions to the vote. A certain percentage of the population had to vote. This saved the bacon.... or the oil?
still the demographic hasn't changed that much over the years... still about 50-50.

I haven't been listening to the debates as it's very much what the Scottish people want.
If it adversely affects the rest of Britain if the Scots vote for independence - then it's just tough luck for the rest of us.
I don't know if the 'Yes' campaign have brought it up but a very good selling point would be the pack of lies fed to the general public in the mid 70s if they voted to leave the EEC.
Just look at the mess we've suffered ever since at the hands of the 'Federal Nation of Europe' ever since because of the scare mongering tactics then to keep us in it.
I'd be almost sure the same kind of thing is being served up to the Scottish people by Cameron, Milliband and co now.

The Tories have constantly finished 4th with one seat in general elections in Scotland, if I were Scottish, knowing that and seeing Cameron so desperate to keep hold of Scotland, it wouldn't take long for the penny to drop. The only way to know who is telling the truth on either side is simply to vote yes, otherwise you will never know. Scotland are not going to go bankrupt off of the back of independence and England will still be its biggest trading partner.
"Short memory? 51 percent voted yes to independence"
You keep saying it was for independence, it wasn't. The 1979 referendum wasn't for independence, it was for devolution. So to compare it to now is completely wrong, the comparison would be to the later devolution referendum. Separation and a moving of some powers are completely different things.
"The only way to know who is telling the truth on either side is simply to vote yes"
No it's to look at what the Yes campaign say, compare it to facts, and see it's a heap of lies.
The markets, who are playing with large amounts of real money, are showing precisely what their opinion of what a Yes would lead to by selling off Scottish linked companies at even the hint there might be a yes vote.
