'As the referendum approaches, the debates over whether or not Scotland should be an independent country are becoming more heated. This guide, produced by respected Scottish journalists and authors, Jamie Maxwell and David Torrance, covers everything you need to know in advance of deciding which way to vote. Maxwell and Torrance summarise the main arguments for and against before delving into the central issues at the heart of the debate, including economics, welfare and pensions, defence and foreign affairs, and culture and national identity. They outline the way that Scotland is currently governed and review where the parties stand on the debate before concluding with speculative chapters on what happens after the vote, whether YES or NO. The referendum on 18 September 2014 is the most significant democratic event in Scotland's history. Get engaged. Be informed. Whatever you do, don't NOT vote!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic Scottish voices\u003c\/strong\u003e and captivating narratives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich cultural heritage\u003c\/strong\u003e woven throughout every page.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press\u003c\/strong\u003e, Scotland's leading independent publisher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstantly accessible\u003c\/strong\u003e through The Grey Hill App.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJAMIE MAXWELL is a Scottish political journalist.
