I agree with Giok here Jim. Although I will be voting "aye", I don't see how Alex can say we are a fully independent country if we are still tied to the legislators of Brussles.

Membership of the EC is highly unpopular in the UK as a whole, folks just don't like our social and economic rules determined by a shower of faceless bureaucrats, I don't see how it will be any more popular in Scotland. Look at the huge advances made by UKIP on this one issue alone!
UKIP of course have also been talking about nationalising the banking system and re-nationalising many public utilities....a stance that the first sovereign Scottish government might consider adopting?
