Would you vote yes or No for independence from the UK?  Link to the BBC's official count:  http://www.bbc.com/news/events/scotland-decides/results





 






But the numbers of close.

Yes, it would be good for both countries.  The lefties in Scotland would have to grow up sooner or later and the pansy quotient in the UK would drop dramatically.

My somewhat ignorant view on the situation over there.

I would vote yes and do everything I could not to join the EU. The EU is the only negative, I would not want to gain independence only to be controlled by Brussels. YMMV

The Yes vote will feel the economic backlash company's are already planning to leave and the shipbuilding industry will implode as ITAR will disallow any dream of building the new RN Frigates!

Let them wallow in their socialist utopia!

Voted NO twice = once on here & the NO that counts was in the village polling booth at 13.30

I plan to move back to England irrespective of the outcome as the S.N.P. planned changes are bad enough NOW - if they lose they'll have a major temper tantrum & go into meltdown...(SWMBO is also on the same wavelength; she was born here)

Either way - I'd say private gun ownership in Scotland has another 5 years to run.
Stage one is on the books, going through the motions prior to being brought in (against the wishes of 87% of the population)

The campaign has been VERY low on ACTUAL FACTS & POLICY - just bluff and "Vote now & we'll sort out the details later.." on the "it's all the fault of the English.." theme....

Problem is - LOTS of the F.S.A that have no real place in politics have been woken from the lager induced slumber in front of the 50" plasma screen T.V.
Even in the rural area I live in there have been quite a few acts of vandalism against NO signs and a lot of physical attacks against NO campaigners...

IF the YES group lose - they'll not sit on their hands & watch the NO celebrations & admit they're defeated - no matter how many times Salmond insisted that this was a ONE TIME ONLY event & will never be asked for again by the people of Scotland

BOLLOX

I trust that Marxist cunt Salmond as much as I'd trust Himmler in a Jewish ghetto with an MG42 = and the comparison is very apt given the S.N.P. rabid anti Semitic anti Israeli policy and stance

By all means - YOU want to vote YES, do so - a vote for YES is a vote for Gaza & Arab/IS terrorists

I voted yes. If a political entity of that size wants to dissolve a union they should be allowed to, regardless of the hardship they may or may not face as a result of their decision...but maybe I'm just projecting.

Just doesn't seem like a particularly good idea.  The Yes camp yells about the oil resources, but other than that what does Scotland have?  Seems they have a shit ton (metric shit tonne, if you like) of people on the public dole.  I'm sure "Yes" seems very romantic and Braveheart-ian, but at the end of the day I think it's a terrible idea for Scotland.

It is, but it's their choice to make.

They could serve as a notice to everyone else that having the majority of the population on public assistance isn't going to work out.

Yeah, I think they're politically co-enabling each other.  This would be like NJ seeding from the Empire of NY; they ain't gonna be on their own but they'll almost certainly be worse combined.

The Scottish socialists have been using UK money to power their collectivism machine for generations

See my subsequent post; I don't think it's sustainable without them being attached to the UK.  The best thing that could happen to Scotland is for them to "run out of other people's money."

Huge mistake!






They want to leave Britain so that they can move even farther to the left and go full blown Socialist. They're going to regret it.




And what happens when they go tits up? Are they going to go crawling back to The Queen begging forgiveness?

The Confederacy would have been an absolute shithole if they succeeded.

Come to think of it, depending on how this vote goes, a Scotland analogy kind of makes sense.
