Dunning1874 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The big hope for Yes was high turnout in Dundee & Glasgow, with wins of around the 55% mark on a high turnout in those two being able to cancel out the smaller regions going No. With turnouts under 80%, hope is fading fast. Though it does speak volumes about political engagement that turnouts of 75%+ are being met with shock on the basis that they are far lower than expected.

ShedruleFTD83 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm a Yes voter and I never expected to win although I thought in the last week it could go right to the wire. Still too early to say that won't happen but it's looking increasingly like it won't. That said if Yes gets about 46% of the vote like they did in Clackmannanshire they might not have won the referendum but that is a sizable chunk of the population and my guess is that the coming months and years will more likely see people regretting voting No than regretting voting Yes. Given that 500,000 English people live in Scotland and I'm guessing the vast majority of those voted No, effectively giving No 500,000 votes of a start and probably also an overwhelming No vote among older voters, long term this is not a discouraging result. The under 40's seem to be mostly Yes so even if this is a defeat, it's also a big step forward for independence movement. More powers to Holyrood will only embolden more voters. We might have to wait another generation, although who knows what can happen before then, but the struggle will go on. It's a good post and fair summary but doesn't take away from the disappointment Only way to get another chance in our lifetimes is to keep voting SNP in the Scottish Elections, we cannot let the issue disappear, too many of us are not happy under Westminster rule and as you say it will probably be decided by the English/Older vote this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 That's the nats back in their box for another 30 years Quite small minded to think the independence movement is all about "the nats" tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milhouse Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 What to do at the next UK general election? Vote SNP or abstain from voting? Labour can f**k right off from here on for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 He has no need to. He's been a shining light for Yes. Great guy. He and the greens really deserve a strong result in 2016. I might vote for them, I don't know but I know/highly doubt I will be voting for a Westminster party again any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
