Fudge Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm now resigned to the fact it's no. On the plus side, I make a shit load of money and continue on in life with a decent job and above average salary. I genuinely think an independent Scotland would lead to a better Scotland but feel happy enough to accept that we don't deserve it as a majority of people of people in Scotland are wankers (I don't mean No voters, I just mean in general).

~~~ Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Three people at my work who voted no by postal ballot, now saying they wished they'd looked into and voted yes. Why would someone make such an important decision, without looking into it? That's what Labour No, are hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banterous Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Of course the Spanish Government have an interest in our vote due to their Catilan issue. So pinch of salt required with any quote coming via Madrid I know what their interior issues are but now the Spanish are in on it with banks, financial institutions, the media etc etc. Is Salmond one of the Green Brigade?

Mr Heliums Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 One aspect of Labour's recent, sinister "If you don't know, vote no" campaign is that even if the No side now wins by a large margin, they've forsaken the chance to label a victory as the settled will of the Scottish people, an objective they had at the start of the campaign. They'll never know for sure just how many didn't want independence, and how many just weren't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

git-intae-thum Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I know what their interior issues are but now the Spanish are in on it with banks, financial institutions, the media etc etc. Is Salmond one of the Green Brigade? Mmmmm....the problem with all this Spain angle...is that Spain is skint. Spanish banks have billions invested in Scotland. Billions of pounds worth of interdependent trade. Spain has a multi million tourist industry with Scotland Spain has a large section of its fishing industry dependent on access to Scottish waters. Thousands of Spanish citizens resident in Scotland. Tens of thousands of Scots likewise in Spain. That all goes if Scotland is out the EU. Mate..if Scotland votes yes, Spain will accept it. Their message is a coded one to the Catalans. It has really nothing to do woth Scotland. The Europe issue has been done to death on this forum. All you johnny come latelies ain't adding anything new. Only an imbecile believes that Scotland will not be in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAST MINUTE NEWS Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 An estimated 90% of the resident English in Scotland will vote no. That means that in the event of a small margin of less than 8%, they will determine the outcome of this referendum. How is that democratic or equitable? Based on recent polls the Scottish people are voting YES, it’s only the English resident in Scotland who are being joined by a minority of Scottish sympathisers that may win the day for NO. I am voting YES tomorrow in line with the sovereign will of the SCOTTISH people. I hope you do too. Note: Ironically, the undemocratic political influence that England has over Scotland could be the very same influence that returns a no vote - how sad that would be - Vote Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaven Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The Spanish interior minister said that on Newsnight in an interview but it was dismissed because Alex Salmond had contact with "unnamed people" in the Spanish and French governments. I really hope that people unravel the tissue of blatant lies coming from the SNP Yes and listen to the blatant lies of the self serving lies from the NO side instead. Jog on.

So pinch of salt required with any quote coming via Madrid Have you noticed how we have gotten experts from Canada and Spain giving us advice on everything to do with independence? It's like getting an undertakers advice on heart surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 3 new Yes people today. All 3 were not undecided but were No. 1 Labour elected member who won't be going public. 1 card carrying Labour party member furious at the "the Shite coming up from London" and one pal on FB who had this to say. Referendum post 1/1. I'm a unionist - always have been. I'm quite comfortable with 'my country' being the UK rather than Scotland. I have no time for Nationalism whether it's ethnic/civic or Scottish/British and do not feel unrepresented because votes in the place I live don't always sway the election. For those reasons I am against independence. I also like to think I'm a realist. The risks and costs of independence are real (currency, EU membership issues etc.). For me those risks weigh more heavily than the appeal of more localised power. So again, I decided against independence. BUT I am also a socialist, internationalist and above all an optimist. Nothing gives me more optimism than the level of engagement and debate i have seen in Scotland these past two years. It has convinced me that we WILL work together to create the country we believe in, and with a proportionally elected parliament everyone's voice would have the power it deserves. That chance DOES outweigh the risks, which are short-term and will be overcome by a country with our wealth of resources and people.The prospect of creating that fairer society is more important than the borders that surround it; so I'm happy to draw a border along the South of Scotland if that happens to be where it has to be, and to embrace the challenges of creating a new state. So after 2 years (and the rest of my life really) of firm opposition, I am voting YES for optimism, opportunity and the biggest democratic movement I'm ever likely to be part of. This is a unique chance to get involved. Let's do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
