Well as voting day gets closer and closer I am still undecided what way I am going to vote.
But I have to say this is the only election in my memory that there has been so much focus, debating and discussion about it. In normal elections you never hear anyone discussing it but it is the mainstay in conversations now whether its at work , during break times, social evenings or news programmes.
Everyone is having their say, lots of questions and answers being banded around. Of course it would be disappointing if this monumentous decision was being made without much debate but I am pleasantly surprised by how much engagement there is in the debate.
Sadly there is a bit of a nasty, minority element on both sides, who are being disruptive , threatening etc and I do wonder how after the decision is made, that both sides continue to live hand in hand.
Of course in this current media age, social media is filled daily with captions, photos, videos from both sides and you really need to take the lot with a pinch of salt. But it is almost the subliminal effect of constantly putting these images about that you can see why some can get drawn into believing it all.
My son is 16 years old, has the vote, and him and the majority of his mates are voting Yes. They have bought all the "Scotland will be better" spin hook, line and sinker.
Interesting to hear what the other Scotland based contributors think? Not so much on which side to vote but just on the whole election campaign. And are the non Scots based folk interested in this debate? What is being said in England / Wales? Do the Welsh want to go down indie route as well?
