    It's beginning to look as though it's going to be a close vote.

    It has to be right that the only people who determine Scotland's future are the ones who live there and qualify to vote.

    I hope they decide to remain as part of the union but I do have sympathy and understand the people who argue that more often than not Scotland is governed by a Government that it never elected.

    The cynic in me also says that any issue that has the leaders of the 3 main parties standing on the same platform is something that the people need to think very carefully about.

    That has been the basis of my reasoning all along ... yet there are some folk who still don't - or won't - see that.

    So too, do I ... relating to each of those three counts.
