What would be the motive for keeping Scotland in the UK? The Washington post reports: “The impact of North Sea oil is an important factor in Scotland’s independence and will certainly continue to be if it goes it alone.” “An independent Scotland would probably get rights to the majority of the oil and gas off the coast of the United Kingdom: Despite the British government’s investment in the area, natural resources like this are generally divided up by geography alone. One study found that as much as 90 percent of oil revenue may go to an independent Scotland.” Gaining 90 percent of oil revenues would seem to be a pretty weighty motive to derail the much sought after referendum. There were other anomalies, as pointed out by independent investigator Aangirfan, illustrates the hypocrisy of the recent referendum vote: “The turnout in the strong YES area of Glasgow was 75%, which is lower than the 85% turnout in Scotland as a whole. The county known as Clackmannanshire was expected to vote YES. But it was announced that NO had got 54% of the vote in Clackmannanshire.Scottish independence: Yes County votes NoIn Scotland as a whole, NO got more votes than the polls had predicted.” Its important to note that Clackmannanshire had an 88.6 percent turnout. globalresearch.ca/voter-fraud-was-the-scottish-independence-referendum-rigged-to-fail/5403190
