rossthejambo Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Twitter is full of 'my nan was No but then she voted Yes stories'. Calling BS tbh. I have seen them and I don't believe even half of them, but I've heard actual people say that rather than just folk on Twitter. Of course I'm as skeptical of them as well but there's an awful lot of people that I know were voting no who've changed their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Surprised at my reaction at all of this. Up until the last week or 2 it hasn't phased me but now I'm feeling really excited. As a yes voter I'm obviously looking forward and hopeful to change. It's pretty daunting when I think about it being announced though if it happens. Like I said it's just never occurred to me til lately just how big this is. I guess it just feels great to be part of something so monumental, and if independence happens, it feels great to be able to tell the grand kids that I played a part in that moment of history.

CJGJ Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) The bookies had No at 1/5 or even 1/6 whilst Yes was 4/1 Voting for myself would have made the decision easy. The fact I was voting for future generations and the impact upon them really focused the mind as opposed to the usual UK elections and I think that has been the case for many along with younger people being given the vote for the first time. This vote is being made on faith and hope for there are no guarantees that can truly be offered by either side especially from a Yes point of view but time for a leap of faith so Yes was ticked/crossed on the paper.

Bauld Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes vote in from me. As a farmer it is a massive gamble but I know for certain our industry gets worse every year and we are held to ransom each year by new legislations etc and every one of them comes with the threat of cutting what little subsidy we get if we don't comply. If we make mistakes at least they will be our own. Instead of paying for the mistakes of a government that sees us as a dripping roast they can syphon money from when they **** something up.

The Carse has been predominantly no signs until this past week. Quite a lot of Farmers got the YES signs up this week to balance it out including one cutting YES into his field on a hillside.
