 The Relationship of 307 years between Scotland and Great Britain is about to be broken or amended a.k.a The Scottish Independent Referendum. Come Thursday 18 September 2014 the people of Scotland will decide to remain to be part of United Kingdom or not, by voting YES or NO.Whatever the outcome of this Independent Referendum is, both Scotland and Great Britain will never be the same.

In the past Scotland shared a sense of Britishness with Inventors, Craftsman, explorers and industrialists. This unity made theUnited Kingdom a big industrial nation and everybody loves the British identity. According to BBC ONE Panorama, as reported by Allan Little, the relationship started to degenerate in the early 70s. Mines were closed down and most of the shipyards are no longer in operation. In  the 1970s the standard of living dropped - that led to the birth of the SNP - The Scottish Nationalist Party. When North Sea Oil was discovered the Scottish people believed it was time for them to share  power with Westminster which led to the1979 Scotland Assembly Referendum under a Conservative Government. The Scottish view Conservatives as Anti-Scottish and this Referendum failed because Scotland voted narrowly in favour and this did  not meet Westminster requirements. The Labour Party, which was the largest party in Scotland,  pushed the argument of Scotland Assembly and in 1999 the Scottish Assembly was formed.

Earlier in this parliament Alex Salmond, the First Minister of Scotland, brought the issue of referendum to Westminster  under the leadership of Prime Minister David Cameron a Conservative. Three things were brought to the table but only two was agreed on either YES or NO the third option which is enhanced devolution was rejected because the government believe it was going to lead to referendum problems.

David Cameron

''I will be heart broken if this
   Family of Nations was torn apart''

Alex Salmond

''Scotland is on the cusp of making

    history,The eyes of the world are  on Scotland''

Alistair Darling

                                                                                                                  ''Alex Salmon is misleading Scots about the financial cost of  leaving the UK after the white paper on independence include only scanty page of estimate''

In Scotland, since the Day of Independence Referendum  has  been set for 18 of September 2014 people's opinion are varied. There is the YES Campaign that is massively backed by SNP under The Leadership of First Minister Alex Salmond. On the other hand there is the NO Campaign mainly backed by the Labour Party with Alistair Darling, the largest party in Scotland although both Conservative and Liberal Democrat also support No Campaign. Both sides of the Campaign have been trying to convince people to support them through various means to win people's hearts. An example in graphic illustrations is below:

 http:www.bettertogether.net

According to Wall Street Journal more than 130 business leaders have signed an open letter slamming the case for Scottish independence, marking the biggest intervention by the U.K business community in the referendum debate so far. Leaders around the world support the NO Campaign even the IMF worries about Scotland if the YES Campaign wins the referendum debate.

The present Administration has promised Scotland more power and the issue of enhanced devolution has been re-visited which I think in my own opinion makes sense, although this may have a backlash in the case of the people of Wales and Greater Manchester who may ask for the same thing.

In conclusion I think BETTER TOGETHER makes sense if Scottish demand is met and if politics is pushed aside whether it's Labour, Liberal Democrat or Conservative. All political parties should come together to make our Great Nation even Greater. Either YES or NO this Nation will never be the same again.

Comments:
The politicians did not take the Scottish referendum seriously until the date of referendum is vary near, people are not happy about this because they believed the politicians are not sincere in dealing with the tax payers.

Some people complain about the media being biased in their coverage of  the referendum which led to a rally at the BBC headquarters.
