An Independent Scotland?

[slave2thewage]

That last result was a close one.

Dundee is a big win for the Yes. Biggest so far at 57%, and currently the only yes. Only 6000 votes in it for No...

Saying Yes or No is boring. From now Yes is Bampot and No is Numpty.

So Dundee is a big win for Bampot.

West Dunbartonshire yes with 53.96%.
Midlothian: No with 56.3%
East Lothian: No with 61.7%
Sterling: No 60%
Falkirk: No 53.4%
Angus: No 56.3%

56,000 votes in for "no"

Appears that we have a trend...I'm going to bed.

[slave2thewage]

Well, guess it's a No. I can't see any big upsets happening now.

[scotty79]

I have to say I'm very disappointed at this

[WorzelG]

Apparently Scotland already have the power to vary their tax slightly but Holyrood have never used it?

So considering they already have a different legal and educational system I can't see what else can be devolved to them?

[slave2thewage]

I think the biggest thing out of all of this is that over a million people voted to leave the UK. That's bound to have ramifications in the future.

[WorzelG]

My sister in law is relieved as she's Scottish living in London for the past 20 years so no vote obviously, and doesn't want to feel alienated from her home country

[icklekitty]

Does that mean we have to saw off Dundee and set it afloat across the North Sea?

[Swykk]

I'm not well versed in this at all, but I wonder why anyone wouldn't vote for independence.

I'm not well versed in this at all, but I wonder why anyone wouldn't vote for independence.

So if someone said you could vote for Indiana independence, from federal rule or whatever, would you?

[sentient02970]

And in the meantime, this question got asked.

that's what i was thinking.
This isn't over.

[Swykk]

So you're saying this is not unlike a state trying to secede? I'm being serious, I just want to understand what's happening.

You'll have to get rid of Glasgow as well. Could you live without Irn Bru?

[Deepvoid]

I don't know what to make of this.

[slave2thewage]

Salmond is stepping down, but that's not entirely unexpected.

[DF118]

Could you live without Irn Bru?

Don't be ridiculous.

(Actually... I have a supplier in NYC. If they get gentrified I'll kill myself.)

[scotty79]

I see the knuckle draggers are out in force in George square tonight

[Sutekh]

that's what i was thinking.
This isn't over.

It's been going on for years, there's a bad sectarian problem up there - There'll be trouble at the next old firm match in glasgow

[icklekitty]

You'll have to get rid of Glasgow as well. Could you live without Irn Bru?

Unequivocally yes.

[slave2thewage]

Rioting in central Glasgow right now. Gotta love those Rangers fans :/
