Will Scottish citizens vote soon to secede from the UK?

Will Scotland settle the long-held wish by many of its citizens to become sovereign, free from the neighbour country, England, that essentially militarily conquered it several centuries ago, via a referendum of the people?

There certainly is a looming battle upon that vital question. The current, elected leader of Scotland's recently devolved government, Alex Salmond, hopes to call such in 2014. That will be a year when Scotland will be hosting the Commonwealth Games and marks as well, the 700th anniversary of a great, historic battle, won by the Scots. Its wording would essentially be - whether its citizens wish to quit the United Kingdom. The current leaders of the United Kingdom, including its prime minister, David cameron feel that such questions, if any, should be put now - without the extra enthusiasms likely in 2014. Just what will happen? Time will,of course tell. But if they were to follow the dictates of principled Direct Democracy, such a question should be worded via citizens initiatives, and not by the so-called leaders - and come when the citizens dictate. Regardless, a referendum will likely be presented soon. The people will be the deciders. And that is the way that democracy should work.
