Say No To Independence
No. Say no to independence, I believe that scotland should not be independent and it should remain in the UK. I don't want to live in a country where i don't feel safe, where my government doesnt support our services, and i certainly don't wan to live in a country with a very poor economy.
First of all scotland are alot safer in the uk as The Foreign Office noted that 'enemies of britain would use "uncertainty and distraction" in the wake of a yes vote to manipulate the situation for their own ends'.They also stated that we are also protected from threats as broad as ISIS and domestic terror incidents by Britains world renowned intelligence services.

So to be fair that is a very good argument for scotland to become independent.
So in conclusion would you want to live in a country where you dont feel safe or a country with a very poor economy? i know i would'nt. So that is why i think you should vote no in the independence referendum. So we can have a safe country, a country with a decent economy and a country that gives it's services the funding that it
