No matter what forum in which you read a thread about Scottish Independence they all end in the same old inane arguments. For me the reason to vote yes in 2014 is this...
Westminster is a lost cause. There is no hope of changing a system that is so putridly corrupt. Perhaps in Scotland, by voting for independence we can have a chance at a new way of doing things. There are no guaruntees on anything, it might all go tits up or we might end up doing very well for ourselves. We will never know until we go. What I will say though is that, whether you like Alec Salmond or not, the SNP have done a good job with the powers they have, so I have no problem giving them a crack at the top job.
