:00:25. > :00:31.The three Newsround viewers, who all live in Scotland,
:00:32. > :00:35.came face to face with the two big rivals in the Scottish
:00:36. > :00:37.referendum debate, and asked them some pretty tough questions!
:00:38. > :00:40.Alex Salmond wants Scotland to become independent.
:00:41. > :00:43.Alistair Darling wants it to remain part of the UK.
:00:44. > :00:47.And with just two days to go before people in Scotland vote, it's
:00:48. > :01:09.Today is a big day, you're getting the to interview Alex Salmond and
:01:10. > :01:14.Alistair Darling, how are you feeling? Really excited, excited to
:01:15. > :01:20.find out what their opinions will be. They're matter what the result
:01:21. > :01:25.is, I am excited to find out what they will do for our country to make
:01:26. > :01:29.it better. It is amazing that we get to interview them and hear their
:01:30. > :01:34.opinions. Even though we don't get to vote, we do have our own
:01:35. > :01:43.opinions. Good luck, it is now down to you. I think Scotland is better
:01:44. > :01:50.off with the UK, what would you say to make people like me think
:01:51. > :01:54.independence is a good idea? I don't think there is anybody who will do a
:01:55. > :01:58.better job of running Scotland than the people who live and work in
:01:59. > :02:02.Scotland. Nobody will care more about Scotland than the people who
:02:03. > :02:06.are here. It is not because people far away in Westminster are trying
:02:07. > :02:10.to do Scotland down, it is just that they don't know enough about
:02:11. > :02:16.Scotland to take the right choices. I think it is true for Scotland and
:02:17. > :02:19.true for all countries that the best people to run a country other people
:02:20. > :02:24.who live, work and stay in that country. I think Scotland should
:02:25. > :02:28.become an independent country, what would you say to make kids like me
:02:29. > :02:33.think that staying in the UK is a good idea? I think we can have the
:02:34. > :02:36.best of both worlds. We have a Scottish parliament at the moment
:02:37. > :02:42.and it has control over things like health and education, policing,
:02:43. > :02:47.transport and all of these things. We do that but we also have the
:02:48. > :02:51.benefit of being part of the United Kingdom, which we helped build. 300
:02:52. > :02:56.years ago we joined with the others and we built it up. They also give a
:02:57. > :03:02.lot of jobs in Scotland that depend on us being part of the UK. We make
:03:03. > :03:06.things in Scotland and we sell them down south. That is really
:03:07. > :03:11.important. There is also the fact, if you are part of something
:03:12. > :03:14.bigger, it can sometimes be good in terms of security and safety. A very
:03:15. > :03:20.difficult world and I think it is better for us to be together. Will
:03:21. > :03:24.my family have more money of Scotland goes independent or stays
:03:25. > :03:28.part of the UK, and how do you know? I think Scotland will be more
:03:29. > :03:31.prosperous because we are a country of great natural resources, we have
:03:32. > :03:35.huge natural resources in Scotland, a relatively small population. I
:03:36. > :03:41.don't think that is the real reason. I think Scotland will be a
:03:42. > :03:45.prosperous country because of Scots, cause of the people of Scotland,
:03:46. > :03:49.because of the ingenuity, talent and ability. And a country which
:03:50. > :03:55.understands that and invests in people's future is a country which
:03:56. > :03:58.will succeed. The answer is I don't know, because you can't say what is
:03:59. > :04:04.going to happen to every family, whether they will be better off or
:04:05. > :04:07.worse off. I think your family, when you discuss these things, you will
:04:08. > :04:14.have to ask yourselves, what does it look like in terms of the jobs that
:04:15. > :04:18.your parents do, or what the prospects are, if you're older
:04:19. > :04:21.brother or sister goes to university, you have to ask yourself
:04:22. > :04:23.what is best for you but also what is best for the country in which you
:04:24. > :04:24.live. Don't miss the second part of
