YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Scotland has voted ‘no’ to independence. As half the country celebrates, the other half hurts. Scotland will stay in the UK, but 45% ‘yes’ is a clear vote for change.So what now for Scotland? Do we go back to business as usual? Or do we get much more devolution?When the polls swung towards ‘yes’ last week, Cameron, Miliband and Clegg jumped on trains going north. They promised much more power for Holyrood if Scotland voted ‘no’. More freedom, more autonomy. This morning, David Cameron pledged to honour their commitments. But backbench MPs are already restless at the idea of more powers for Scotland. It’d be easy to quietly dilute the offer if disagreement grows.We don’t have to accept that. If we build a huge petition of hundreds of thousands of names from across Scotland, we could turn the spotlight on their promise. They made the offer through gritted teeth - now we can make it impossible for Cameron, Clegg and Miliband to back down.Can you add your name to a petition to the party leaders in Westminster today, asking them to keep their promise to Scotland?

Adam Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I know fine well that it's cutting off my nose to spite my face, but I hope we get royally fucked by the powers that be and get absolutely nothing that we were vaguely promised.

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 ^^^Bump What's happened's happened. There's no going back on the Independence vote now but for the good of our nation we must make sure that the Westminister party leaders stick to their promises no matter how you voted yesterday, so please sign this petition. https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/page/s/promise-for-Scotland#petition Thanks!
