[QUOTE=itak365;46018062]In this situation, what does devolution refer to?

[QUOTE=itak365;46018062]In this situation, what does devolution refer to? DOes that mean that they might give Scotland more autonomy if they end up remaining in the UK?[/QUOTE] Well that was the idea, but a lot of Tory backbenchers are revolting against the idea so possibly not, certainly not within 9 months like Gordon Brown promised.

shetland votes no

Shetland says no, too it appears.

Do the other regions of the United Kingdom also have this kind of autonomy, or is this a privilege that Scotland has alone?

[QUOTE=ilmon3y;46018056]Fuck that, hello bias.[/QUOTE] I hope you didn't vote. I wouldn't care which way you voted, as long as you were informed.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;46017861]And the Tories have essentially lied to the Scottish by saying there most likely won't be any new powers any time soon. Way to go Tory party, way to go you massive lying idiots.

[QUOTE=Vasili;46018102]Its opened up eyes to the prospect, including to the rest of Europe.[/QUOTE] Well, I meant, if Scotland has the ability to make decisions on all of those issues, is this something that is also done for Wales and Northern Ireland? Also, would this have any impact on Commonwealth nations, or would this be something that's limited to the British Isles? I'm a Canadian living in the US, so all of this is a little weird to me.

[QUOTE=itak365;46018093]Do the other regions of the United Kingdom also have this kind of autonomy, or is this a privilege that Scotland has alone?[/QUOTE] Wales and Northern Ireland both have some devolution as they both have their own small parliments - but I believe Scotland has some additional powers. [editline]19th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=itak365;46018134]Also, would this have any impact on Commonwealth nations, or would this be something that's limited to the British Isles?[/QUOTE] Practically zero.

is it true on the ballot paper they basically flipped the yes and no? Ex: should scotland stay with the uk instead of should scotland seperate?

[QUOTE=CubeManv2;46018151]is it true on the ballot paper they basically flipped the yes and no? Ex: should scotland stay with the uk instead of should scotland seperate?[/QUOTE] That ballot was a photoshop as far as I could tell.

[QUOTE=CubeManv2;46018151]is it true on the ballot paper they basically flipped the yes and no? Ex: should scotland stay with the uk instead of should scotland seperate?[/QUOTE] no They were yes for independence and no for staying part of the UK.

So much ignorance in less than a minute.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;46018230]Not as if the votes are spilling in by the second and you may miss it :v:[/QUOTE] yeah but fuck the police im doing it anyway

While I'll feel kind of bad for the yes voters who wanted rid of the right wingers running parliament, I'll be glad if Scotland stays because if they don't not only will we probably get a tory dictatorship, we'll also be hit with austeritygeddon

[QUOTE=smurfy;46018229]Jesus Christ Yes, what happened?[/QUOTE] silent majority

It's almost 60:40 atm..

First one in Gaelic, that was interesting.

Hold on a minute, wasn't Yes meant to win in this area...

[QUOTE=smurfy;46018229]Jesus Christ Yes, what happened?[/QUOTE] We're yet to see the results from the remaining 29 councils.

Oh and of course the Tories have said that if Scotland votes no England still gets no devolution sigh Whoever wins, north england still loses

heh nine people crossed yes and no
