An independent Scotland would certainly be a better and safer place, even with falling oil prices.
The oil revenues were a "bonus", this was stated often by Mr Salmond before the referendum. Scotland is an enormous brand and our economy will prosper when we cut the UK ties.

I vote for independence in order that we at last get some sort of representation, for too long the views of the Scottish people have been ignored, and side lined by self serving Westminster M P's Labour, Liberal, and Conservative.
I vote for independence to see WMD's removed from our soil.
I vote for Independence in the hope that we will eventually remove ourselves from NATO and no longer risk our young people's lives in wars which have destabilised half the world.

The situation in the Middle East today(extremely dangerous) has much to do with idiotic Western involvement in Libya and Iraq. We actually assisted to power the beheaders of IS, in the foolish belief that we could spread "democracy and liberalism"

Aye that'll be fuckin' right!!
