Scotland Debate

[MattM]

For all the YES voters - If the NO vote were to win, what kind of majority would you accept? Would you be Ok losing to 50% +1 or do you think this would lead to problems further down the line?

Also, and I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but if the YES vote was to win, is there a strategy in place to cover an increase in immigration should the oft-hyped "Fairer Society" come to pass?

:rofl:
Having read a fair bit of this thread, what has been covered is the total lack of strategy for any of the possible consequences of a YES vote.

It's going to be close anyway, but a win is a win, you can't really say we are OK losing by 5000 votes but not OK losing by 50 votes. You've still lost and should accept it, no matter that the result is.

We're very lucky to be alive just now.I'm logging off until sometime tomorrow/Saturday, I'll be back to accept I was wrong or to bathe in the warm after glow of smugness*


*only joking a wee bit

but thats the point, you're not wrong! neither are the NO voters wrong!

We all want the same thing but NO want to do it from within, it wont be easy nor quick but it's possible. I would almost go so far as to say it's now more probable due to the Referendum (assuming NO are chosen tomorrow) and the 'scare' of damaging the four nations for decades.

That is one main positive out of many that have transpired from the last 3 years of debate.

Now if we can get past the next 24hrs without any bampots kicking off we can show the planet we are a strong, passionate but sensible nation who are united once again.

Should being the important word obviously, but do we think that certain quarters will accept the result and move on if there is only a fraction of a percent in it?

1 or 2 of these 30 questions raised an eyebrow.

voted this morning before work.

happy with my vote and the reasons for my vote.

I reckon its going to be a no vote anyway. Too many folk scared of the unknown which is understandable.

Regardless of the outcome we all have to get together and get on with the decision.

And hopefully we can get on in a peaceful manner within Scotland and the rest of Uk.

So here at last. Today is the day that the future of the United Kingdom is decided by just 9% of the population.

Have no say in it but am hoping for a No vote.

Looks like NO is leading with the pound strengthening.

Didn't think the had exit polls or anything similar?

They don't.

I suppose when or if the No vote is announced, Salmond will spin it into a success saying he got better deals and powers through this campaign for Scotland

Its all part of the master plan whatever happens

You can thank Mr Cameron for that

That Scotland has 9% population of the UK ?

Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but well done to the R&A for scheduling their vote on admitting women on the same day as the independence vote.

A great day for burying contentious votes and ensuring that little to no coverage will be given to it in the national press.

Behave yourself

The most important question for me is if Scotland opt out of great Britain and are therefore no longer British does that mean the Open looses its Scottish venues
