It will be havoc if it is a Yes vote.

On a personal basis I`d rather the Union stays together.

As compensation just in case it is a Yes win, that would virtually scupper Labour`s chances in the next general election.

Another scare tactic about Labour from the press, another red herring as Labour are quite capable of a majority with English and Welsh seats as a fair few Tories will be going to the job centre next May.

If it's a yes vote I'm giving up scotch. Fuck 'em. Prefer bourbon anyway.

Only slightly related but it is making the UK FTSE index tricky to trade.

In the event of a No vote, logic would suggest a rise in that index, a sort of relief rally.

If so, opening a " long " buy position on the index before the outcome would be profitable, however a Yes vote would be a massive problem.

From what I am seeing a lot of indecision.

It does make an interesting market. I sports trade and only have a basic grasp of the financial trading. It could well be a case of traders playing the betfair market against wider financial index markets. People will always sniff out a favourable margin.

Had a walk round Saltcoats this morning. A run down town up the coast from me. Heart warming to see so many union jacks out. Streets patrolled by scowling skin heads with Rangers tops on. Although that could be any day in Saltcoats not just the run up to the referendum. One guy had printed on the back of his - UNITED KINGDOM, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. Inspired me to stick a union jack flag in the back window of my car when I went home. (To be removed when parked in case a brick goes through the window.) Getting into this now.

As an outsider looking in I have noticed an absence of that Salmond fella on the news this week. Just once or twice instead of all the time. The yes campaign seem to be fronting up with that bird that looks like Rab C Nesbitts missus.

Have they finally sussed Salmond as the smarmy, oily, opportunist, second rater that he comes across as on TV.

Having been watching this all the last week or so and I can't find anyone who is 100% sure what the result will be, it is going to be a tight one and of course that means nothing will be settled.

Its like Christmas eve waiting to open your presents unfortunately only half the Scots will get what they deserve and probably non what they want.

Betfair sportsbook have paid out already. Good publicity if nothing else.

I hope its No Vote today, for the long term good of the Scots! Obviously the Scots should enjoy more representation in Westminster & failure to recognise this will have furthered the anti English sentiment for which, the Politicans are largely to blame...

Even better for all if Salmond fucked off to the Orkneys and started his cult up there instead.

Personally I hope it is a Yes vote so we can get rid of the idiots like Cameron, Clegg and Miliband ruining the country and get a decent socialist government instead of ones that suck up to the banks and businesses instead of looking after the people they govern
