What: Scotland votes on Thursday to stay in the UK ("no" vote) or to become independent ("yes" vote). The race is quite close, and it appears that the "no" votes are in the lead.
Why care: Tremendous consequences, including the potential for other referendums around the world. There's really too much to discuss, but either way, a "yes" vote will likely rock stock markets as well.
Want to know more? I found this link that I liked with a timeline: http://www.theguardian.com/politics...endum-cameron-returns-to-scotland-to-campaign
Nate's take: The vote will be close, but I can't see the average citizen rocking the status quo and voting "yes", although the unemployed/underemployed are typically "yes" voters. I don't know enough to make any educated comments, which is why I created the thread.
