Scotland Residents Head to the Polls for Independence Vote

On the off chance that the "yes" battle looking for freedom for Scotland secures a dominant part, the conclusion will proclaim the most emotional protected change in the relationship between the two nations since they united in 1707. The repercussions would be gigantic, making the world's most current state and consummation an union that once administered a realm and triumphed in two world wars.




In the event that "no" voters predominate, the conclusion will leave Britain's head administrator, David Cameron, confronting difficulties from his own particular Conservative Party over guarantees of more prominent independence for Scotland that he offered in an exertion to take off the star autonomy fight headed by the Scottish first clergyman, Alex Salmond.

Just about 4.3 million individuals — 97 percent of the electorate — have enrolled to vote, including 16- and-17-year-olds emancipated surprisingly. Investigators have gauge a record turnout in abundance of 80 percent at around 2,600 surveying spots extending from urban focuses to remote and scantily populated islands.
