Confidemus Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Given that, according to the Ashdown poll, a majority of working age Scots voted Yes, is there a chance for civil unrest/ revolution/ uprising if "the vows" are not delivered? We can make sure the No voting pensioners are locked away safely in their sheltered accomodation to keep them safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Doubt it. We'll just take it with apathy is my likely guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mid-table Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 No. Absolutely zero. Although it depends on what your definition of civil unrest is. I had a lively debate about this with someone the other night. I said my only frame of reference was living in London during the 2011 riots when everything was on fire. When people start dying I call that civil unrest. Until then it's a minor disagreement. I just can't see it happening in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I assume if the vows aren't met, SNP would win the next Holyrood elections again and just call for another referendum? Or is there a rule that they can't have another one for x amount of years now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing their mind just 2 years later won't have a great effect with the Scottish public, even with some that voted Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem they have is that they need Labour to be as bad in future elections as they were in 2011 in order to keep the majority, and that is by no means a given.

Confidemus Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's not really though, is it? 73% of the over 65s voted No. The majority of working aged adults voted Yes. So yes, yes it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the Scottish people will just put up with all the pish and pain that is coming, it's too late they had their chance to kick out the Tories, as for the No Voting pensioners, it won't be long to they have to sell their homes to pay for care when they go into carehomes with immigrant workers on a poor wage cleaning their shitty arses.
