    Scottish Independance Referendum consultation

    For those with an interest in the subject and there been a few of you, here's the opportunity to submit your opinion to the Scottish Government.

    If you want you can read the entire 122 page document before commenting or just read the summary.

    Anyone, from any background can comment, you don't have to be Scottish or even live in Scotland.

    https://consult.scotland.gov.uk/scotreferendum

    It asks a series of questions about your opinion on the major issues, such as timing, cost, second question etc.

    And if you're going to crayon over this thread, please use a blue one!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up,

    As true today as in 1320.

    Thanks hadn't seen that. Filled it out now!
    If it sounds like a good idea - do it. It's easier to apologise than it is to get permission.

    If you're not confused you're not paying enough attention

    Good stuff, Fang Farrier. As a matter of interest, did you respond to the Scotland Office's consultation on the same subject?

    If I'd seen it I would have!

    Made sure I made point on this about importance of service voters who would normaly vote in a Scottish Election getting equal rights.

    Excellent. Still time for others to do the same and mention service voters. Consultation closes 11 May.

    Only a few days left on this consultation process if you wish to make a comment to the Scottish Government

    45 minutes to go. Anyone is allowed to post, not just those who will be freed from the yoke of tryanny when the votes are counted!

    19,000 responses by this morning, a bit better than the UK Government's 3,000.

    I can say the name of that railway station in Wales, as well.
