How about asking how much is will really cost the people of Scotland to remain tied to an English-dominated parliament whose interests are (understandably) English first; to remain in a political situation which Scottish people never got the chance to vote for, and which has resulted in us being in the relatively miserable position that we have been led into?
It should be clear that there is little point in having aspirations for Scotland as long as we remain controlled by Westminster. We get lied to about everything, whether it's the cost of the Millenium Dome, how Eurostar will give fast, direct train access from Scotland to the continent (a huge lie), how Scotland could only survive due to handouts from Westminster (even they now know that was a lie),....God, they even made a public announcement lie about an historic agreement being reached with the SFA to allow team GB at the Olympics.
Enough!!! If we must be governed by liars, cheats, and social climbers, I'd rather they were from closer to home!
