No, the issues are exactly the same wherever you happen to be from.
Essentially what it will do is bring Scotland together as a community with shared interests. A lot of those shared interests are as relevant to someone in Skye, someone in Rotherham or someone in any other country.
We want to make choices that are relevant to us, and affordable.
Living in Scotland's generally pretty acceptable, we can drink the tap water, we have houses, we have electricity. Other than that, five minutes in a car in any direction and we've got pretty much everything we need.
We just don't need to be told how we should vote and if we vote in some way we are all bringing forth the apocalypse.
What might bring forth the apocalypse are fudged statistics based on austerity measures from the tory government, who's policies echo the policies of labour. Right now we don't really see the difference.
Essentially the oil's been drilled for a long time now and who has seen the real benefit of this? Did you see any of it?
To quote The Guardian,
"Our oil cash was magicked into tax cuts for the well-off, then micturated against the walls of a thousand pricey car dealerships and estate agents."
