Scottish Independence

The Scottish Independence Referendum is a political aim for the country to become an independent sovereign state. A third of Scotland's voters believe that Scotland should leave the UK. This is because they think that their economy would enhance and be better if it had a greater autonomy. Although, a great amount of Scotland's population disagree as they think that Scotland is a lot more secure being within the UK.

The YES Campaign
This website includes the verbs should, must and can which almost makes the audience feel obliged to vote yes to ensure that Scotland becomes an independent country as it will "unleash Scotland's great economic potential". The website also states important information that will appeal to all ages as it informs students that university tuition fees will continue to stay free.

The NO Campaign
The website http://www.bettertogether.net/the-facts is a No campaign website. This website is a lot brighter and more vibrant than the website that is for the Yes campaign as it includes the colours of the original union flag and makes everybody seem as a whole and that both countries should stay together. The website includes persuasive language and it has opinions as facts to get the attention of the target voters by making it sound appealing and beneficial to vote 'yes' as it will put them in a more comfortable position, economically, "we have all the amazing things that makes us Scotland and we also have the safety and security of being part of one of the biggest economies in the world". 


To conclude, Scotland has been part of Great Britain since 1606 and if they were to split it would end a long history together. There is also a massive uncertainty on how the two countries will divide things between them such as the two nations' financial systems and how to also divide up debts.
If Scotland seperate from England, they could possibly fall into a pit of depression, job loss and spiral out of control, or they could end up being more succesful than ever. I believe that it would be better if Scotland were to stay. However, most likely, the majority of things will stay the same and Scotland will be able to cope on their own if they did end up leaving.
