I suspect that a lot of the support for the left-wing parties in Scotland would evaporate, in the event of separation.

But will they?
I don’t know about you but at sixteen I was not pay much attention to politics and my family was fairly political.
Maybe because this independence thing is really big it is getting a lot of attention in the school more teens will vote but I doubt that it will be a large percentage of 16 to 21 year olds voting.
Why?
The betting markets have the probability of Scotland remaining in the UK at between 79 and 81 percent.
I guess I was wondering if their system allows vote fraud as easily as ours.
Just had my question answered as you can see from this video:
