Will The Scots Get Freedom?

Today is a very important day for Scotland. It marks the time when the votes for whether Scotland will be an Independent country, or If it will remain with the United Kingdom are finally counted. The following Is my opinion on whether or not the Scots will get their independence from the Union. I got some ideas from watching two videos on Scotland getting their rights.

The first video I saw was by "Yes Scotland" a campaign that supports Scotland becoming an independent country. The video gave many facts about why Scotland should become an independent country. From saying ideas like their own parliament, keeping university tuition fees free, protecting the NHS just to name a few. These facts give the people of Scotland the chance to think we want all these things and we don't need London for it then. They also talk about If we stay with the United Kingdom, we wont be given any of these things and the chances of us being our own country is very "slim". The video also had an arrange of different images and colours. The images both contrasted well with one another. In the colour section, you had what would it be if Scotland became independent and showing the happiness of the people that are living in the country. While the black and white, depressing side of the video showed what would it be if Scotland stayed with the Union. Showing a child upset with images of London and many of the head people like David Cameron.

The second video I saw was by "Better Together" a Pro-Independence group. Created to support the independence of Scotland. Like "Yes Scotland" they have many facts to support why Scotland should become its own independent country. From having our own economy, more jobs, life would be easier for the people of Scotland, If they get independence. Looking at these facts they seem to intrigue a lot of people and give the Scots a sense of hope. With the video giving a lot of information, It was a very bland and a not so attractive video. Colours were gritty and not so pretty. While the images were not very attractive the eye of the viewers.

However with positives, there are a lot of negatives. I could say we would need a new Doctor (Who) as Peter Capaldi is Scottish. But... on a serious note. I feel If Scotland gets their independence. They won't be getting support anymore from West Minister. They would be in there own problems and they will have no one to help them but themselves. As a famous quote says "You make the bed you lie it". So as much as I like to support Scotland and I do. Any country that wants to be free and be independent it gets a hugh amount of respect from me. However I feel once they get their independence, whats next? Do they rely on England? Do they face a economical crisis? Queens Of The Stone Age said it best "No One Knows". So Im going to leave off by putting a song that represents what the Scottish people are going through. Good luck Scots.
