Referendum Re-Worded



There has been considerable controversy about the wording of the Autumn 2014 Yes/No Referendum on Scottish independence.

Although Alex Salmond, First Minister 'wanna be' Prime Minister of Scotland has always, on the whole, reserved bias on the matter of whether Scotland should become a single state, seperate from Great Britain.

The wording, initially passed by Scottish parliament asked: "Do you agree that Scotland should be an independent country?" 

This is just another persuasive vice of Alex Salmond to encourage Scottish nationals to vote YES rather than no.

After the Electoral Comission Watchdog highlighted suggestiveness within the wording of the all important question it has finally been changed to: "should Scotland  be an 
independent country?" 

The syntax of the ammended sentence should result in a fully fair democratic outcome.
