Letter to the Editor – Thoughts on Independence

I would like to ask as to why Scotts abroad are allowed to vote for this referendum and yet Scots in England are not. Surely this discriminatory tactic borders vote rigging strengthening the yes camp.

What is Alex Samond afraid of by denying the right of Scots in England and Wales to vote. Finally where the rest of Europe is uniting Alex Salmond is trying to make a name for himself as the man that gave Scotland independence.

To me Scotland, Wales and England are already independent, but united as one in helping each other and protecting each other as one. Why destroy that?

Why cause a split amoungst Scots in some voting yes others no. Is making a name for himself in history worth all that?

Why cant we follow the Swiss idea of leadership in having the leader of Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland and England rule together abolishing one party making all the decision. Having that coalition would give our nation of the UK strength, balance and fairness.
