stevie Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 As you may see from my posts i,m highly delighted with the outcome,Over the last few months I,ve become a Tory b!"?^&d a traitor a quisling and more.However I recognise that Yes won 45% of the franchise .Things just have to change .Please no recriminations and I,ll be the first on the streets if anybody reneges on new powers . With your past record on "demonstrations" I'm sure the boys in blue will be on high alert ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missed98 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm sorry, but it's not a "close" decision at all. Look at the numbers of voters, not the percentages....not close at all. Sorry Dex, don't agree with you on this point. Considering, what you yourself said earlier on, even with the unanswered questions around currency, fiscal policy etc.. No, only won by 300k or so votes, do you really think those votes wouldn't swing, if say, Westminster fail to deliver on their pledges? That aside, i don't think Westminster will do this and as you say time to move on and look to the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serge Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I voted Yes and am naturally disappointed but accept peoples reluctance to vote for independence. The pressure is now very much on the three amigos to deliver whatever it was they promised in their "Vow". Interesting times ahead I think. Politics might actually become interesting.

CJGJ Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) The lack of clarity on some of the main issues has cost the Yes vote dear, Combined with the fear of change alongside the implied threats re jobs from many of Scotlands major employers has seen the No vote triumph. Promises of new powers late on also had an impact. Currency, Pensions, Security, EEC membership etc were all discussed but just what was going to happen was not made clear and certain for enough of the people. Lessons need to be taken on board for any future vote but that is a long time in the future.. for now Scots need to accept that independence was not wanted by the majority of the people in our land. We hope now that promises are kept and can impact upon our schools, health and jobs in this country..... and it is a country.

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Scotland has dodged a bullet big time here. Salmond and the Yes mob have been unbelievably reckless, trying to suck people into independence on the basis of zero facts or guarantees. A sham of a campaign from them.

Do we really want them to get more power over us. Time for some good people to step up to the political plate in Scotland and put themselves forward for election. Get rid of the failed local councillors who've moved up one carriage on the gravy train. Oh and before anyone says Westminster is the same. I agree but the crowd in Holyrood make the shysters in Westminster look like rocket scientists.
