one example, scottish university, to proud of thes received the same amount of money from research grants as it does th the scottish parliament, and saw intertwined the united kingdom and scotland playing a leading role in it provides the best base for us to grow our economy and provide best education, and i think it's not the best platform to say that we are moving away from these nations that are currently our partners, seamless partners in many respects into what will effectively be a different country with barriers and certain areas of trade, and degree of competition. and if it's so clear that we should be so distinct from the other parts of the union i'm puzzled why they're so keen to say that we will have an observer status in the bank of england, which is a bank of a foreign country running our currency and would effect scotland at inflation rates we wouldn't determine. that's less autonomy and less influence. it's a curious argument and a curious definition of independence. >> we'll talk about the practicalities of this divorce later on in the program. we'll be back with more ins

an example - scottish universities, some of the best in the world, so proud of these universities in scotland, also benefit massively from the u.k. wide research funding. edinburgh university, where i'm speaking from receives the same amount of money from u.k. based research grants as it does from the scottish parliament and government that i was a member of, so interconfined that the u.k. and clnd playing a leading role provides the best base to grow the economy, provide the best education, and it's not the best platform to say that we are moving away from the nations that are currently partners, seamless partners into what will effectively be a different country with barriers and in areas like trade, a degree of competition. if it's so clear that we should be so distinct from other parts of the union, i'm puzzled why the first minister is so keen to say that we'll have an observer status in the bank of england, a bank of a foreign country running our currency, setting interest rates, but would affect scotland, and an inflation rate that we wouldn't determine. that's less autonomy a

engineers services, coming out of scottish universities and feeding into that.eds to happen? what should be the priorities? >> it is a very good point. part toot has a major play in supporting the growth and sustaining that supply chain success story. roughly 450,000 jobs are in that supply chain. maybe half of them are in scotland. tackling the skills issue is important for us. making sure also that we have the infrastructure we need, particularly around our headquarters, aberdeen. social and transport infrastructure to grow this industry is going to be important as well. the u.k.ish and governments have both got a very important role to play in the future of this industry. we are looking forward to collaborating with them in that regard. >> thank you for your time, malcolm webb. still to come, alibaba's big debut. share start trading today. can the giant avoid the trouble of tech giants such as facebook? later today, bloomberg is speaking with the alibaba founder, jack mann. will be live at the new york stock exchange as the stock begins trading. i don't think

he has some scottish ties as he is a lecturer at a university in scotland. us again with you danny. if you could cast your vote, what would it be? to stay on the fence on that one. i know so many people on both sides. close -- too close to call. the election is too close to call. it is best to his. my son-in-law, who is scottish, does not know either. >> john brown, what is your disposition towards this? scottish, butlly i have absolutely no question in my mind as to which way i would vote. it would definitely be no. it would be terribly damaging to scotland and also marginally damaging to the rest of the united kingdom. but i think, actually, when the vote occurs and this time next cots would realize what they are dealing -- doing. they will realize the amount of money that scotland will lose, and i think it will be a no vote. it will be very close. coy, you have done research on this, how does the economics work out? >> they look pretty bad. what we're seeing at the polls, it is more of a protest vote. it is more about making a decision with real money on

>> because i was born in scotland, i was brought up in scotland, i went to university in scotland, i am scottishso why can't i vote? quite honestly, they have done it deliberately. they know most people that live outside scotland would vote no, not all of them, but a lot of them. >> 16-year-olds are allowed to vote, sounds unusual to us, is it. >> well, you are allowed to drink at 18, you are allowed to drive at 17. i think they have done it for a coup uhle of reasons i think one of the main thing is they are targeting their vote towards these young people. >> they think that young people would vote yes. >> oh, absolutely. >> when i was 16 i would voted yes. >> what has changed. >> i know more about the world. i went to university in london. i did my undergraduate there, and now that i live in america, i know how important britain is in the world. it's -- it's very important, and i don't think scotland would have the power that it does with the u.k., we wouldn't be allowed in europe, for a start, they wouldn't probably have the pound. there's a lot of issue with tax, foreign policy. there's a lo

scottish independence vote, it is raising some eyebrows. worth noting that kate and williamette in scotland at university. maybe they name the baby scotty? >> is raising eyebrows, a all non-botox eyebrows are raised everywhere you go. i know that for sure. raising eyebrows. give it the right scottish played blankky. >> hamisk mcwindsor. melissa: i didn't think of that one. >> i think it is in the story. melissa: absolutely. dan, you want to pile on there? >> if she is pregnant, that is great. we don't even know. maybe they're working on it now. we have no clue. no confirmation. a whole conspiracy theory. melissa: you're a official brit here. what do you think? tell us the truth what is really going on? >> i think a lot of people really love the royal family. i don't know whether it swayed at you will but i think a lot of people love the royal family. >> you could think it has impact we're raising our non-botox eyebrows? >> it is interesting. melissa: thankings l, guys. the big convenient iphone slowdown. apple users say devices are starting to freeze up. it comes right before the launch of the new iphone 6. might be just a coincidence, ri

scottish independence? >> well, the fundamental argument that scotland wanting independence, scotland is a universal nation, they're going to make the best decisions, nobody is going to care more about scotland than the people who live and work here. it is the essential argument for nationalization, how lucky we are to have a consenting peaceful democratic process in which to achieve the independence for our country. >> but they're also voting for you, aren't they? i know you say it is not about you, but you are asking people to trust you to go into any negotiations if and when they happen in london. so it is about you. you're a crucial part of this. >> well, i don't think it is about any individual in any party, i think it is about freedom for the country. we're confident that people see it in the light. that is about believing in our ourselves, and it is that belief in our ourselves that is pushing the campaign forward. and that is fundamentally more important than any political individual or party. it is a belief that this country who has given so much to the world, if we invented the modern world, i thi

sat and made decisions on of the budget -- we have had it where the scottish mps have sat and made decisions on the budget. ase universitya evolved, that has been how it has been for a long time. i have to say the idea that is it as an easy way you can change that and say we will have scottish mp's only voting is something english mp's only on something and it is not as easy as that. the government has said it do not rush to easy solutions. labory it is all about defendant is potential majority. i will say to you it is all about david cameron dealing with division in his own party and the threat of the u.k. put the party politics aside, the right thing to do is to have a proper constitutional convention that starts from listening to people across wales and scotland and do it for a couple of months chaired by william hague. >> no one thinks it will be quick or easy. let us put it aside. aboutst logan is not party politics was to it is a fundamental question. washes scottish him. the west logan's not about party politics. a fundamental question. why should scottish'mps get to vote on english laws? >> it is a factor that if

scottish administration, handout of grants. he okayed the planning commission. he dealt with the universities. and the companies who wanted the ben if sense of the scottish administration. so in a sense, his organization was very easy. it could be a one or two-manned band whereas we have to bring together a range of political opinions, some of whom didn't agree on a whole range of issues but all of whom agreed on one thing, which was the utility and benefits for scotland and part of the united kingdom. i hope tonight that range will be joined by a majority of the people in scotland. >> was it a mistake not to have gordon brown as a far more prominent campaigner for you earlier on? >> no, i don't think so. because you see there are definite stages to this campaign. given that we had to put together the widest range of unity among various parties, then the man that was chosen to do it was a man known not to be a tribal politician, alistair dowling. probably at the time he went into this, the one member of the last four years of the labor government who had come out with credit. and alistair dowli

>> well, the fundamental argument for scottish independence is the same as any country worldwide. scotland is a nation. and it's a universalaw that the best people to govern a country is those that work and live in it. nobody will care more about scotland than the people who live and work here. it's the essential argument which has resonated in so many countries through the ages, how lucky we are to have a democratic process in which to achieve that independence for our country. >> but they're also hurting for you. i know you say it's not about you. but you are asking for people to trust you to go into any negotiations if and when they happen with london. so it is about you, you're a crucial part of this. >> well, i don't think it's about an individual in a political party. i think it's about freedom for a country. but we're confident that people see it in that light. this is about believing in ourselves. and it's that belief in ourselves that's pushing the yes campaign forward. and that's fundamentally more important than any individual or party. it's a belief in ourselves that this nation which has given so much to the w

i was born grew up in scotland, went to university in grand, met an english girl, and have lived here most of my life. i'm very much scottish but i'm british as well. the union we have created has bested both scotland and england. >> you would not want to see this division not see scotland break off. >> no i wouldn't, there are many, many people in gland, if you visit and talk here, there are a number of people who say they have got a scottish cousin or grandfather. people in scotland the number of people there my mother's family came from england and settled in glas gow. glasgow. these nations have incredibly close bonds as a result of three centuries together. >> so it would be something of a separation, something of a divorce if these two nations split. >> it would do. what passport would i have? i guess i might end up with two passports, a scottish passport and a u.k. passport. scotland is not an oppressed country. scotland has been an integral part of the union. if you see the number of scots men and women working in the foreign office the armed forces and the ministry of defense in key business positions, scots are ov

two bases here -- the cottage -- the scottish social attitude survey that has been conducted -- we are partners in this together from the university of edinburgh. it is a high-quality, face to face survey and the most comprehensive on political attitudes in scotland that goes through stringent design processes and with the funding we receive, we could develop large modules for specific questions on the referendum. we have a time dating back to 1999 that allows us to check how some of these things have developed since the establishment of the scottish parliament. there is a website where you can access all the data on constitutional change from the survey. the aim is to create research output during the debate and it is run by the scottish social research. there is a specific survey of 19-year-olds because when the voting age was lowered, young people are not engaged and will not vote, but we have been data because they are not usually part of the electorate. we are also one of the parents of the young person who was interviewed. we produced research results but have developed a set of teaching research. as i said, i want to keep t

scottish mps have sat because we make u.k. decisions on the frontier, corporate tax, public spending. where the legal system in scotland, the criminal justice system him of the university system were devolved and decisions were made in a different place, that is how it has been for a very long time. >> they are really striving to be on a different time frame. there is that angle to it. exchequerpoke to the and he said that he thinks there has to be devolving power to cities and regions. call fortrying to increased levels of say in how things are managed and how things are done on a regional level? that seems to be one of the areas. >> scott's get the devolution they want. , it it comes to the english happens on a more metropolitan level. >> yes, maybe. this is a really fast evolving story. there was a lot of ground to cover between now and the election. this could crystallize things earlier than we thought. thank you very much indeed. anna on the devolution question. what else is on our radar? bankers and finance ministers are warning of an increase in financial market risk. major economies rely on monetary stimulus to boost growth in low interest rates. speaking after

raised in scotland, educated at the university of aberdeen before emigrating to the united states and told me you are an american citizen, sometimes feeling a bit more scottish than american, depending, i suppose. if you were able to vote - and you can't, because you are not living in scotland - what would your vote be? >> i would be on the yes side. i always have been pro-independence. i don't have the vote, but i have been following things closely. i have a lot of friends and family living in scotland. over the last several weeks or so, i have detected a momentum towards the yes side of the vote. even among people on the no side for a long time. >> what do you attribute the switch to, because when cameron approved - embraced the permission to continue with the referendum, the thought was that scotland would be a part of the u.k. forever. what happened. >> well, there are many factors involved. i would say that people began to realise that their vote was going to count for something. and this happens rarely in elections. national referendum are difficult to predict, because every vote counts. and every vote will count tomorrow. it's particularly give to pre

scottish accent. this shows the diversity of the issue. julius is originally from the united states, canada, oklahoma, but is an electorate of the university of edinburgh and charlie can tell you about his own origins. this is not a debate about ethnic particularism in scotland either. it's been framed in terms of specific nationalism and political choices and that is also important. and then finally, we'll be turning to my colleague here at brookings jeremy shapiro for the united states perspective. before coming back to brookings he's been a fellow for sometime, jeremy also served as special adviser to the assistant secretary for europe in the state department and also on the policy planning staff. he was not assigned to think about scotland and the united kingdom but we're hoping obviously somebody might be thinking about this at this particular juncture and i'm going to ask jeremy to give his perspective on what this means to the united states. again, thank you very much for joining us. i'll turn over first to charlie who is going to give us a sense of the whole perspective of the referendum, the paradigm, the framework, how this has e

about the spillover of the scottish independence to other secessionist movements sometimes is exaggerated or i was at a really good conference about the a class the university last year. we brought in several experts on secessionist movements and how they relate to each other. most of the research shows that they really don't dominant effect, that it may be that other secessionist movements using instance as precedent to push their case, but it's not really successful and the results of secessionist movements are determined more by local factors rather than what's happened next door or across the world. and i think secessionist movements around the world will probably use the scottish independence referendum in their movement for secession regardless of the outcome of their referendum. and i think, i think there is as jeremy was talking about, it's a clear difference. this was a case of a mutual decision by westminster government and edinburgh government to allow this to happen. and this is a fully democratic process without any real conflict, which is quite an amazing thing and quite a unique thing in international history. >> geoff? >> i'll take the econo

university you wrote about devolution. what do you think about what's happening now? >> at that time in the mid 1970s north sea oil had arisen as a prospect for economic recovery for the scottisheople. and of course, for the british people as well. and it did stimulate a lot of political dialogue at the time too, and i think it agave some incentive to the scottish national party which had been around for a few decades but had not really taken off, to make the economic case for independence. because that had always been the political platform in the scottish national party. so as a student at that time, i thought this was a very dynamic and interesting development in a country we presume would never have broken up. and in fact, i did study it rather intensively and looked at the issue of devolution and looked at the fact that scotland may be an independent nation. so it was interesting at that time to make that inquiry. >> let me ask you what is the benefit of the people of scotland for breaking away from the government of england today? >> it's a benefit on several levels. there are a lot of pros and cons and i don't want to diminish that debate that takes place. there are a l
