Who is voting for independence in Scotland?

As the heat in the kitchen goes higher and higher tempers are starting to fray at the edges. So who is causing all this mayhem north of the boarder? Its mainly the white working class men who are generally unskilled. They have collectively been left behind by the advent of globalization, due to their lack of skills and education - they are the same group that have voted for UKip in droves. In addition they are completely disillusioned by the political elite in parliament. The MP's expenses scandal of a few years ago has also added salt to their wounds and they are smarting from this. Its not surprising that so  many are fed up with politics many have never done a proper job in their lives. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg are all from this rarefied Westminster hothouse atmosphere, so removed from ordinary people. Alex Salmond and Nigel Farage have taken advantage of these gullible politicians and have 'picked their political pockets'. It will have a seismic impact not only on Britain, but further afield. The place we have on the Security Council at the United Nations will be re-examined. The membership of the G7 will come up for discussion as will the influence we have at the International Momentary Fund  and World Bank. What about our place in the Commonwealth? Lastly the role of the Queen in this new constitutional arrangement. There is no road map for this territory that we may be going on. Constitutional layers are now scratching their collective heads for an answer. Only nine days to go for the referendum on the 18 September.
