“Do you have any qualms about independence in Scotland or would you welcome it?”

Jodie Allan, James D Bilsland
“I think if Scotland was to gain independence, it would raise a lot of economic and social problems and damage the relationship between Scotland and the rest of the UK.

This would all have an effect on the way business is conducted.”

YES OR NO

A fiercely debated political topic both within and outside Scotland, there is still some way to go before the outcome of the Yes and the No campaigns for and against an independent Scotland will be known; as such many distributors declined to comment at this stage of the proceedings.
At the time of going to press, there was still no decision as to the proposed television debate. Former prime minister Gordon Brown was expected play a greater role in the campaign against independence whilst the Yes campaign, which published its white paper last year, were calling for a white paper from Better Together to show its vision for Scotland’s -future within the UK.
