I’m fascinated to know just who would get to vote in the referendum. Would anyone living in the geographic area of Scotland get a vote, or only those who consider themselves as Scottish through birth? Who keeps records of such things?

If a person born in England, but living in Scotland at the time of the referendum gets to vote, and it’s held during the summer, then I guess that would rule in most of the Royal family.

Would a Scot living in England get to vote? Come to think of it, would a Scot living in England at the time of independence automatically become English?

Maybe a huge registration process will have to take place before any possible referendum. The mind boggles!
