Someone please explain Scotland to me

Maybe it's considered worthwhile to keep the UK intact. The Scots now get double representation in both the Scottish Government and Westminster, which we English don't get!

You're free to come and stand for election in Scotland as an MSP Del, I'm sure at least everyone here would vote for you.

How can it be considered worthwhile when you say Scotland is being subsidised too much. ?
 
They were desperate for us to stay, thats why they all got in bed together to offer us more goodies.

They would still have 'let us go completely independent' though, which was my point, as per the agreement. But as we all know, we, collectively, as a nation did not want to.

Anyway, the arguments have been done to death, points debated, questions answered/unanswered, the votes cast and result announced. Time for everyone to 'accept the will of the Scottish people' (as wee eck kept saying) and move on.

Pass that sentiment on to Salmond who is having trouble understanding what 'democratic vote' and 'result' actually mean.
