All the bookies have it on a no vote. It will be the silent majority that will vote to stay together.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;46000377]I want Scotland to win because it would make for interesting news.[/QUOTE] one hell of a thing to be alive for though, one of the most iconic unions will be shattered, and a long history just being put in the trash.
[QUOTE=cr2142;46002544]one hell of a thing to be alive for though, one of the most iconic unions will be shattered, and a long history just being put in the trash.[/QUOTE] Or a new prospective future for both parties. You sound as if they'll never speak to each other again afterward.
It would be fun to see them split up just for fun too see what happens, for science!
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;46002502]"Results are inconclusive, a revote must be taken" :v:[/QUOTE] Now you've jinxed it. Thanks a LOT.
Who's going to be the one to say "We told you so" when/if Scotland's economy collapses?
when will we know what side won?
Whatever happens in Scotland, I just hope that Cameron dies a painful, agonizing death.
[QUOTE=Dermock;46002630]when will we know what side won?[/QUOTE] Friday I think.
Where's the "I have no fucking idea" option [editline]17th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Atlascore;46000320]And? If money decides who's allowed to control you now then Germany should own half of Europe.[/QUOTE] Some people would argue it does :v:
My biggest concerns right now are that Valve would have to change the Demomans lines, 007 would become an immigrant and kilt would become common.

We will gain independence. Toxx me if you want. I have faith in the people of Scotland to do the right thing. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Toxx" - Orkel))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=Leg of Doom;46002446]Its going to be yes and in some years English have patrol the borders and detain any scots trying to escape from their third world shithole they made. That will be my dream job.[/QUOTE] yeah just like all of those british soldiers on the irish border :rolleye:
Everything is still possible I would say. Personally I predict a narrow "yes", because of a feeling in the gut or whatever.
My prediction is the result will be within 3-4% of each other. I'm hoping it'll be on the yes side.
[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;46001414]I hope Scotland goes away, more money for us ENGLISH folk too.[/QUOTE] We'd need to get rid of the Welsh and the Irish as well for that to happen..
[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;46001414]I hope Scotland goes away, more money for us ENGLISH folk too.[/QUOTE] Scotland pays more per head in tax than it gets back from the UK.
I'm curious to see what "Yes" would do to the county, although I think "No" is going to clearly win.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;46002518]But wouldn't it technically be a kingdom with the Queen as the monarch of Wales and North Ireland?[/QUOTE] Wales and (someone can correct me if I am wrong I am sure) Northern Ireland aren't kingdoms. (Damn you CK2 actually teaching me things..) That said though, last I heard Scotland would still have the Queen as their queen so it would still be a united kingdom in that sense. Edit: I am apparently wrong, NI is a kingdom. The definition of Great Britain would change, not the UK.

[QUOTE=Scotty.;46003984]Scotland pays more per head in tax than it gets back from the UK.[/QUOTE] Just googling your post brings up an awful lot of sources suggesting otherwise....
[QUOTE=Harry3;46004095]Just googling your post brings up an awful lot of sources suggesting otherwise....[/QUOTE] Scotland pays £1700/head in tax and spends £1200/head on public services/etc. I don't know where your sources learned maths, but I think most people can agree that £1700 is more than £1200
[QUOTE=Jsm;46003996][B]Wales[/B] and (someone can correct me if I am wrong I am sure) Northern Ireland aren't kingdoms. (Damn you CK2 actually teaching me things..) [/QUOTE] It used to be one, though.

[QUOTE=Scotty.;46003801]We will gain independence. Toxx me if you want. I have faith in the people of Scotland to do the right thing.[/QUOTE] Considering people that Toxx almost always lose, and that Facepunch predicts rarely well results with polls. It's going to be a tie probably.

From the way it's been going it looks too close to call. While I hope they stay in the UK, my gut feeling is that Yes might win.

That said though, last I heard Scotland would still have the Queen as their queen so it would still be a united kingdom in that sense. Edit: I am apparently wrong, NI is a kingdom.

my voting thing got lost in the post if no wins by a single vote blame the royal mail, those conspiring bastards
