Scottish independence

Supporters of keeping Scotland in the United Kingdom have moved back into a narrow lead over the separatists. The YouGov survey puts the No campaign ahead at 52% with less than a week before Scots vote on independence. Former British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is Scottish. "There is a better, safer, fairer, ... faster way of meeting the aspirations of the Scottish people. And that is by adopting the proposals that we have put forward. For a stronger Scottish Parliament, within the United Kingdom." Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said an independent Scotland would look to join the European Union. "We will succeed, not because we have ... ... a wealth of natural resources, important though they are. We will succeed as we maintain and build on the energy, the participation and the involvement of the people." The Pro-independence camp says Scotland would be one of the world's richest countries if it took control of its own destiny.
