Today in our current affairs article we shall discuss the hot issue of upcoming referendum in Scotland. United Kingdom is consists of four major regions i.e England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Scotland joined the United Kingdom about 307 years ago. There is going to held a referendum on 18 September 2014 in Scotland on the issue that whether Scotland should remain the part of United Kingdom or it should become a separate country. Nationalists are very hopeful that people will vote in favor of Independent Scotland. If the majority of Scottish people will vote in favor of independence then a new country will appear on the map of world i.e Scotland. Historically England and Scotland are traditional rivals. You people must have read the poem Try, try again in school about wars between both two countries.
Nationalist groups has launched a massive campaign in favor of independent Scotland. There campaign is known as “Yes Scotland”. Nationalist groups are convincing the people that Scotland can make more progress after separation from United Kingdom and independence is a basic human right so Scottish people should reject the union with UK. But on the other hand supporters of United Kingdom, majority of them are conservatives have also launched a campaign namely “Better Together”.
The supporters of union are hopeful that Scottish people will reject the idea of separation from United Kingdom as Scotland will has to face severe economic crises after independence. More than 40 million Scottish people will decide their fate in referendum on 18 September. Recent polls show that about 30 percent people are in favor of separate country, while 40 percent people are against this idea. Thirty percent people are swing voters, who have not made up their minds till now. These 30 percent voters will be decisive on 18 September’s referendum.
