Scotland's economy has more in common with that of Ireland and Portugal at the start of this century, when both countries' economies seemed to flourish and progressively improve in competitiveness. The yes or no vote to me has more to do with deciding on which financial pact to anchor yourself to when it comes to the two mainstays of financial matters in this part of the world, mainland Europe or the London- dominated UK version. The Queen herself is still safe and certainly not bothered by the outcome unless some peasant manages to sneak into her Holyroodhouse residence and strangle her. One thing the growing of a country’s economy can’t stop now is that in order to keep up the pace their working class need to grow in numbers, so it really doesn't matter to most of us anyway if the vote is yes or no. It’s only going to make the life of the average Scot worse if they’re poor and a bit worse if they are on the way to get better. It may placate a few shouts but ultimately it won’t change much in terms of people remaining poor and hungry and pissed off.
