It's rather a special edition of Newsnight tonight. 300 years after the Scottish parliament voted for the Act of Union we're being allowed into the Hall where the vote took place to have a debate of our own.
We're devoting the whole programme to discussing the future of the Union - will England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland see another century, let alone three, as United countries? Our opinion poll for the programme would seem to suggest that a majority don't think it will.
What do you think? Post your comments here.

I don't think it will. I'm English and find our Imperialistic history quite disgusting. I don't really know enough about the economic ramifications of ending the union but in terms of people wanting their country to be independent I will always support their right to have a sovereign government.
