For #indyref2 im yes like others are. I and that'll never change but the question is to the undecided.

What's going to tip you as a fence sitter to making your mind up a yes or a no?

Here are some of my slanted thoughts.....
You can still call yourself British you know, Scotland is very welcoming and encourages diversity.

We were all born on the British isles to I guess technically we are all British. Being British won't be taken from you.
We'll still have the pound most probably albeit the Scottish one and most probably worth more than an English one the way things are, if we're in Europe or the CU and I don't think us Scots are silly enough to want to leave both.
Democracy is all about consensus and Indy Scotland will end up in the SMCU which will suit our trade with Europe and will be a compromise between remain and leave and the new UK.
Scotland has a different economy to England and apparently needs immigration. Take WM and ScotGov figs and double and half and that's the figure. Either way it look fairly dire for the economy in Scotland as a result. This should be acknowledged but it's not.
If it's a Union of equals surely there would be a Secretary of State for England.
The GERS figures are now to be acknowledged to show WM debt given to Scotland in the UK and nothing to do with an Independent Scotland.
We can have as many referendums as we like. That includes when we are independent, if there's enough unionists wanted a SCENTRANCE REF in the future it's always there.
There are more Tory MPs in the SE England than the whole of the U.K. It's hardly going to make for an equal hearing at the table.
Holyrood political system encourages a minority government which encourages inclusion. If 1.5bn or so was spent by the SNP to lure the Greens to win a vote, Scottish folk wouldn't stand for it. NI does need investment but not as a bribe surely.
Come on look at Westminster. A 300 year old time warp with a theatrical pretend political divide. It has no place in today's society along with an u elected HoL, unless of course you like living 300 years in the past then that's fine.
If you don't like Nicola Sturgeon or the SNP then that's fine but remember the SNP would in all likehood move aside and there would be a joint first government and the SNP would disband anyway as their MO would be no longer. Then build a government and society as you want
Scotland and England would still do business, on different terms maybe better maybe worse, who really knows but 1 thing for sure, Scotland would be at the center between two of its biggest markets on equal terms.
Did you know that only English MPs can the PM? This is why there was talk of Ruth Davidson having to go to England if she wanted to run as PM. Not really equal is it.
Everybody's not going to agree on everything but at least you have more chance being heard at Holyrood than WM. The way it's set up encourages that.
Remember nothing's perfect but at least we will have more control to fix it and change. WM hasn't changed in 300 years, you think it has any inclination to?
You are going to be bombarded with a less than balanced view from the media. Be informed. Read below the headlines and like it or not, remember the media ultimately has their own narrative, on both sides. Choose wisely my friend.
