This R&D provides articles that discuss the Scottish independence vote, which is scheduled for September 18, 2014. If the vote passes – and polls indicate right now that it will not – Scotland would become an independent country. Scottish politicians argue that if the independence referendum goes through that they still want a personal relationship with Great Britain and want to be part of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Opponents of the referendum argue that it could hurt the Scottish economy and undermine its security.
