Scottish vote

[CheltenhamHacker]

Something I can't believe we haven't actually had yet!

Interested to see which way GM does actually sway. Probably best to leave the arguing and debating in the other thread!

 

[CheltenhamHacker]

The No's are ahead at the moment!

Fingers crossed this is reflective of all of Scotland, I mean, you all love golf right?!

 

[AmandaJR]

No vote and "No" vote!

Of course it could never be reflective of Scotland because most of us don't live there - I might feel very differently if I did

Ah, but even within the "i have a vote" group, the no's are ahead 4:1 at the moment

which may or may not be reflective of the outcome.

Hence my "fingers crossed" comment

Not sure we're a representative sample on here, nevertheless it's neck and neck.

What is interesting, and not surprising given the mood up here, is that nobody who has a vote isn't voting or doesn't care.

"What is interesting, and not surprising given the mood up here, is that nobody who has a vote isn't voting or doesn't care."

That's how it feels but they're saying a turnout of 80% might happen as if we should be impressed by that, 95% and I'd be impressed - what we don't need is one side coming in with 51% majority whilst 20% of those eligible didn't vote. Everyone's vote actually counts in a 2 horse race with no votes for parties or for people, just a yes or a no, and so even those who are indifferent should at least make the effort this once for the sake of a genuinely democratic result....imo.

The last option is amusing.....if you don't have a vote how can you not vote. Just don't care would have done.

Scotland votes no but gets more devolved powers
Scotland votes yes and gets more powers

A big difference?...not from where I'm looking.

No vote but said yes, nothing ventured, nothing gained so good luck to them.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not got a vote and to be honest I put "don't care".

 

[Kellfire]

Surely the Scottish majority won't be so stupid as to vote yes?

No.

Well the UK is clearly of utmost importance to you then! View in a nutshell of most in the SE I suspect, nothing north of Watford Gap attitude.

I have no vote but I have voted yes.
I do, however, have some major reservations about Scotland gaining independence.
Firstly why is it only residents of Scotland have a vote on something that has such huge implications on the rest of the union.
If Scotland is going to be so incredibly wealthy following independence why are so many major financial companies ready to jump on a plane south of the border after a yes vote?
One of the arguments being branded about on the news for a yes vote was Scotland has not voted for a Tory government but are ruled by one from another country. If that is the case then Cornwall should be granted independence as we have not voted for a Labour government but have been ruled by one from another country (if you ask the locals) for years. Is that really a reason to vote yes?
Whatever the vote half the country will be disappointed!

This. No vote no say.

On note of social interest.
It shows golf in Scotland is much more for 'the people', it crosses all social, class, creed and sexual boundaries.
I have a hunch that the OP posted this thread with the hope of seeing massive support for the NO's

:thup:this ^^ I'm struggling to contain my indifference.

Stay or go I don't mind, if they go maybe they could take everything north of Oxford with them

Not sure how you extrapolate that from this thread.....
