Seeing that almost 50% of Scots voted to leave the UK in the recent referendum you would expect them to be pleased if they were voted out.
Just for the record, nowhere near 50% "of Scots" voted to leave. I think it was 37%.

Just aswell they didn't need a majority if the registered voters then eh?!
As Doon is trotting out his "3,000 seats" nonsense the council results of the Independence referendum were pretty resounding I seem to recall......... Was it 28 of 32 were no?

Indeed, although I take the view (rightly or wrongly) that everyone who wants independence voted for it so I'm claiming all the apathetic for "no".

thats fine. Seeing as under 18s voted overwhelmingly Yes, I'm claiming the approx 1 million who weren't registered or were too young to vote. By my reckoning, that would be about 2.6 million each. I guess we could toss a coin?

I'm more worried that our 2 resident spin doctors have yet another thread to vent their spleen. At this rate the poor darlings are never going to see daylight.Tolerated by the mods on the basis that
1. It's not gotten out of hand ....yet
2. Nobody has reported a problem with the thread.
People are allowed their opinions and sometimes they will differ from yours
Feel free to debate, but know when to stop and agree to disagree , before it degenerates into handbags @ 5 paces
Thank you

A fair percentage of those that voted weren't Scots.

Is it just me that thinks that the folks on here who keep coming up with the 'you lost get over it' statement every second post are starting to appear a bit desperate.

Its just you...
They're just fed up of your constant twisting, spinning and your reluctance to accept the result. Prefering to bring up the supposed division between England and Scotland.

I see that Nicola Sturgeon is saying that Cameron has to go further than the agreements that were put in place after the referendum through the Smith Commission. Well actually Nicola he doesn't "have" to do anything just because that's what you want. So how about you get back in your box and realise that you can bleat and whine all you like about how unfair it all is but your party agreed to the Smith Commission proposals and unfortunately your plan to do anything to keep the Conservatives out of government didn't work.

I think under all her vitriol, bitterness and hot air she is scared witless that Scotland would have to manage their economy on the taxes she could raise in the country and without the Barnett gold to subsidise their Marxist agenda.
