On Sept. 18, 2014, the people living in Scotland will be given the opportunity to vote to become, once again, an independent and sovereign country, separating its ties with the government of the United Kingdom.

As a national of the United Kingdom, who was born, raised, and for the most part educated in Scotland, not to mention a subject of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Part Two, I won’t get to vote. Why?

I would vote "yes" if I could.

200 years from Wien's Congress and Europe's still there; no wonder the Scots want Scotland and not Great Britain. In Lombardy (Italy) we want to get rid of Rome, we were Barbarians not Latins; italian language is an artificial language, far away from the language we spoke 200 years ago. Speaking of quality, we - up in the north - could never think to compare the quality of our goods to what's made in the south, and it's always been so, since the XI century or so. I do like Scots, too, I like England's Midlands northward on; just the same as I like Wales. The Celts were here where I was born and where I live, I can't ignore it.
