Should Scottish expats have a say in the referendum ?
I think all Scots should he a say in whether the country stays or leaves the union.

I think it would be a good idea,but they are only allowing voting from those resident and on the voting list in Scotland. It seems this is going for legal judgement. I presume from a Scottish court ?
When you think about its hard to see how this could be arranged ? They could be thousands of people who were born in Scotland,both in other parts of the UK as well as all over the world. If you could produce a birth certificate that showed Scots birth something might able to be done,depending what the court says ?
Salmond will counter that Scots long away will have no knowledge of the present position.
