Scotland Debate

Maybe is patronising, and not my intention.She was very popular with woman voters, hence my gut feeling she'd be more capable than, say, Sturgeon who's less popular, in bringing no/undecideds to yes.

Understand what you're trying to say..... just hate sweeping generalisations like this.

I'd say Margo was more popular with both genders than Sturgeon? So yes maybe she would have brought more women to your side but more men too....

Anyway.... we've got much bigger matters to argue about than this! ;)

It's all pathetic it really is - beyond pathetic

It appears this vote is ripping a country apart - for a vote that is supposed to all about the good of the country it appears to be the total opposite.

The negative feeling that has grown between both parties is going to ruin Scotland

Oh and the article didn't say that people were signing Rule Britannia then beating Yes campaigners

They said it followed several earlier incidents in which they had been verbally abused by a gang bearing the Union Flag and singing Rule, Britannia!

Any links for this ridiculous claim?
 
My feelings for wanting Scotland to stay part of the UK aren't motivated by finance or political reasons so if Wales and N Ireland had a vote it would be the same as I feel now.

As I said "it appears from what I'm seeing on social media and other outlets" in regards the ill feeling between the two separate sides

But as the other poster after me has said this is more the minority.
 
Phill......you are frantically trying to find cases of 'breaking the country apart'.
I can tell you from living here that I see no signs of it.
As a nation we are having a great debate and as you can see from the expected polling it is involving nearly everyone.

There is the odd numpty on both sides but we just shake our heads at them and get on with it.

I was really surprised that there was not one negative comment aimed at Jim Sillars last night.
This from a hall of over 200 folk.
Europe and EFTA and old/new Labour were the only areas that sparked an audience debate.
It was good humoured enlightening debate.

I am hugely proud to live in a country that behaves in this way.
After 18th Sept, whatever happens I think we shall just get on with it.

With a no vote don't expect many Scottish MP's at Westminster from the Tories or Lib/Dems.

With a NO victory I expect Scotland to return many more SNP MPs than normal.Currently the Scottish voter is pretty smart, being able to separate Holyrood and Westminster elections.

With the massive new engagement of politics currently happening I can forsee a backlash from indy campaigners post NO and a drive to elect SNP.I genuinely think Labour, in its current form in Scotland are done.

I'm not frantically trying to find anything

Seen a few people from the yes side trying to frantically find episodes of abuse from No supporters - but I guess if there is the odd numpty there is nothing to worry about

Oh there is a few posts directed at you other the last 24 hours looking for some facts from you to back up some of your claims - I'm guessing you are ready to provide it ?
