DC92 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 your core voting group the 16-17 year olds wil develop and mature over the next ten years and with their political opinions will also change and develop It's far too small a group to be called a "core". It's also worth noting that 25-34 year olds voted 59-41 in favour of Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's far too small a group to be called a "core". It's also worth noting that 25-34 year olds voted 59-41 in favour of Yes. The only "groups" that were majority No were 18-24 and the over 55s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think 2 years is too soon, but 10 years is a possibility. 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. This is true. So many things fell perfectly into place to make (getting a result in) a referendum possible just now. Collapse of Labour, austerity and a tory led government down south all coupled with the unlikely scenario of a majority snp administration in the Scottish parliament. I suppose a lot will depend on whether those who voted yes in labour heartlands move back to labour or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supras Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 73% of the over 65s voted No. The majority of working aged adults voted Yes. So yes, yes it is. Well, it's not pleasing when a substantial percentage of your population die - regardless of their political leanings. No country should be gloating that their elderly should soon be dead. Regardless of the result, everyone needs to get a grip of themselves. your core voting group the 16-17 year olds wil develop and mature over the next ten years and with their political opinions will also change and develop Yeah, this will happen. I really hope this leads to an increased interest in politics from younger people. For too long the group has been ignored and targeted due to their lack of involvement (see tuition fees) whilst the elderly population has been ring fenced from any major cuts due to their significant voting turnout. These things matter, everyone should be voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I somehow can't see the 55% who voted for it starting any civil unrest. The nation gets what it deserves from here on, self-apply the lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 73% of the over 65s voted No. The majority of working aged adults voted Yes. So yes, yes it is. Have you been to sleep yet? You are not taking this well. I feel fairly deflated myself, but seriously have a wee lie down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Uprising? Have a word with yourself. People who actually want to cause trouble, have an uprising, or just generally cause "civil unrest" are idiots. What good does that do to any future campaign for independence?

Ludo*1 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Dundee's having a 'protest' outside the Caird Hall tomorrow. I'm not sure what about, what it will achieve and if anyone is actually going to turnout, but yeah, there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parscelona Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Only thing that we can hope for is that resentment continues to build against Westminster and that we end up having another referendum in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
