I may be an outsider, but that gives me some perspective. For the love of all that is holy, vote No on independence. The separatists are selling you snake oil. Like red states in America, you send less to the central government in taxes than you receive back in spending. Oil is not going to pay your bills, you are. The United Kingdom not only is not repressive to your country, it allows you to have an outsized voice in UK and world politics. Leave tribalism and resentment aside. This isn't a simple vote for which government will rule for the next couple of years. It is a vote to sever ties to the only thing that has made your country matter at all on the world stage, union with the rest of your tiny island. Vote No.
