    Anyone else fascinated by tomorrows Scottish vote?

    Without getting into politics too much, anyone else fascinated by tomorrows Scottish vote?
    As an Irish voter, good to see it being a democratic vote rather than a hundred years of violence.

    Fascinated would be a wrong word for me.. But i am following it closely..

    The only thing i am afraid of in N.I. is our usless bunch of politicians heading off to downing st. looking the same thing..

    We all seen how easy the 3 main party leaders all caved in to giving Holyrood more devolution when things started to get tight..

    God knows what this means for us here in N.I. after that.. Its gonna be bad with a No vote.. But even worse with a yes vote..

    Our lot cant run the bath.. never mind run a country..

    God help our wee N.I.

    Personally, I'd like to see a yes vote, just to see how it works out. Don't think it will happen though.
    NI not going to have the same vote for a long time yet.

    I'm guessing a no vote by about 7+% IMO, pity.

    The ideal of declaring independence is a fine ideal but if i was a Scottish voter no way would i choose the uncertainty a yes vote would bring. Voting no and working towards continued devolution of powers from Westminster has to be the prudent choice.

    Having said that, not being Scottish i would be interested to see what happens if the electorate vote yes.

    It would be interesting to know what plans 'yes-voters' have for suddenly running a complete new, very small country.

    I think we'll see a no vote, but it will be close. I'll be putting my 'X' in the box shortly

    Can't wait for a Yes vote.... when they find out that they have to apply for work Visa's amongst all the other non-EU country participants wanting to work in England, should be fun!

    My dad and all his family are Scottish, I spent every school holiday I can think of on the banks of the Clyde and I hope Scotland doesn't vote yes, but I also hope that if they do vote no they don't get a better standard of living through tax breaks or better nhs funding than any other part of the uk, I live in the industrial north of England where our laws and taxes are set by west minister too, the industrial north of England that made more revenue for the uk than oil ever has yet still we get a raw deal and still we get on with it.

    I got to admit i reckon it will be a yes vote. Am gas fitter by trade so i do alot of driving about and what i see most is yessers rather than the no people.

    You can see this by looking at crowds, what people have on their windows and cars. Mind you the no voter may well be a silent majority. Plus bbc arent anyone reporting wrong figures and bias views.

    The blatant scaremongering from panicked Westminster politicians in the last week seems to have stemmed the tide.

    Bookmakers have it 1/5 No - 7/2 Yes. I'd be very surprised if they are wrong.

    Police are worried about clashes with yes and no voters at the polling stations, all yes voters have to vote today all no voters are to vote tomorrow.
