ITS HAPPENING! Scotland begins to vote on Independence. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Scot;46018280]heh nine people crossed yes and no[/QUOTE] Scotland is now in superposition.

[QUOTE=ilmon3y;46018204][video=youtube;AytTm3TWHvM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AytTm3TWHvM[/video] First, Kay Burley calls a Yes campaigner a knob live on air, then says the Yes campaigners are campaigning against England. So much ignorance in less than a minute.[/QUOTE] This shit reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson getting called out for saying slope and apparently mumbling the n-word.

[QUOTE=Scot;46018280]heh nine people crossed yes and no[/QUOTE] People do that as a protest to show they're not happy with either.

[QUOTE=Roll_Program;46018302]People do that as a protest to show they're not happy with either.[/QUOTE] What else could they want? Scotland joins Russia?

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;46018274]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[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be surprised if labour used further devolution as a major bargaining chip in the next general election.

The results received so far are from areas with small electorate numbers. Ultimately, the results so far don't really mean much.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;46018251]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] Tories weren't in power for what? Near twenty years? And the moment they're barely voted back people think a mature response is to tear the country in half? I sincerely hope no Yes-Voter based purely over a dislike for Tories/Right-Winged parties.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;46018312]What else could they want? Scotland joins Russia?[/QUOTE] Fix the system as a whole, rather than just splitting off to have your own system which won't necessarily make things better.

The prospect of endless Tory+UKIP wins just scares me at this point.

13.5k lead for no is hardly anything, I wouldn't read into the ratio just yet

[QUOTE=squids_eye;46018268]Letting the attitude of one person determine your vote on an issue which can drastically affect your country's future. So much ignorance in one post.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;C18zpi2yBwE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C18zpi2yBwE[/video] The biggest news network broadcasting in our country showing clear signs of animosity towards the opposite opinion. Not ignorance, discourteous.

No is going to win and Scotland will be polarised.

the bbc aren't allowed to spin, it's in their remit

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar votes No 53.42%

Then write a complaint to Ofcom.

The turn out percentages are extremely damn high by the look's of things so far, I'm very curious about the turn out in Edinburgh.

[QUOTE=Highwind017;46018381]The turn outs are extremely damn high, I'm very curious about the turn out in Edinburgh.[/QUOTE] The current No-Votes were supposed to be Yes-Vote blocks, so I am very curious to how the south is going to turn out.

The strongest reason the "Yes" campaigners have for Scottish independence is their oil. Which will run out in twenty years or less.

I'm a No supporter and even I think the slant in the media is horrible. The Yes campaign does have a small minority of angry nationalists, but an experienced reporter at the scene should know not to pay attention to it, especially when emotions are running so high.

Is anyone else watching the BBC? Am I imagining things or did a labour MP just defend the SNP in an argument with a UKIP MEP.

Good God that UKiP guy on the BBC live stream is a fucking arsehole. "SNP bringing fear to the English people." "He wants to retaliate against them." "SNP are racist!" "People aren't welcome if they're English."
