Hands up who wants a referendum on GBs membership to the EU
Salmond knows this is the same up here

He is keeping his cards close to his chest as he wants to appeal to everyone, same with the Nato scenario, he wants to appeal to those in favour of Nato membership, the vote on sunday has strings attached.
What i want out of independence is, A new Beginninng, A new Political system, i want too wipe out our social problem, I want a true sense of identity and i certainly want a referendum on the EU membership.
Imagine the opportunity to wipe out all that is bad about our political system and start afresh, post independence politics hopefully will evolve, the SNP splitting right down the middle in my opinion is not a bad thing

Maybe this is part of the plan ?

are you sure you're Scottish?
Thanks for the compliment
One thing for sure, there is a lot of second guessing the game Salmond is playing, cmon he is playing a good game, the unionist's scaremongering, the press speculate then the unionist's fall for the press speculation, Salmond play's along
Salmond knows one thing is for sure, its the end of the road for the SNP but not as you the unionist's would know it, its job done guy's he has delivered the referendum and with a hard core of supporters (37%) He has given the YES campaign a real chance of independence, Freedom Beckons, we rise to be a nation again
Salmond knows the SNP will split right down the middle post independence, politics will evolve and definitly for the better, a politics that is shaped by the people of Scotland as our voices will become more significant, hey our votes certainly will, under an independent governement, politicians will become massiivley more accountable.
All unlike the Westminster government David Cameron is trying to shape to favour a Tory government forever more, don't get me wrong im centre right myself but the Tories are so far right they don't even know it, they don't give a shect (1979+)Little Englanders you will never have the chance to change your political system, WE do, look on with envy boys and girls, its happening, 2014 Voting YES and Proud to do so

I agree the SNP won't survive much past independence, certainly not in it's present form.
I don't see it splitting down the middle though. A handful of separate factions is more likely, some of which will join other parties or form their own.
Big changes for the other parties too, once they're freed from London control and have to put Scotland first.
