Here are the latest poll results (two polls, both with ‘No’ in the lead … but only just); oh and here is AEP: Scottish referendum: “Scotland may find it has no EU, no currency and not much oil”)

From the Wall Street Journal:
- Officials say they are expecting the largest turnout for any Scottish vote on record. In total, 4.29 million people having registered to vote, the biggest electorate Scotland has had. Recent polls suggest more than 90% of voters plan to turn out Thursday. In a similar vote in Canada in 1995 on whether Quebec should secede, 94% of registered voters cast their ballot.
- In Scotland, everyone the age of 16 or over is eligible to vote on Thursday, even though the age requirement is usually 18 years in general elections. Alongside Scots, British citizens and those from the European Union and Commonwealth countries who live permanently in Scotland will also have a vote.
Get this:
- People born in Scotland but who live elsewhere don’t have a vote
But, what really outrages me is that while I wasn’t born in Scotland, don’t live there & have never visited. But I do have a U2 album somewhere (they’re Scottish, right?), Why don’t I get a vote? Huh?
Yeah, U2 were great:

Cool.
Now I should get in trouble.
