Scottish independence

[117 M34]

Is it a 'seats vote' i.e. how we do a general election or is it just everyone has a vote and the winner takes all?

They said earlier that we may here 1st results around 2-3am with final result breakfast time,

I don't have my breakfast at 5 am when it will be announced!

You have breakfast! Fu king show off ;-)

Haha 80's good gif



Seriously hoping I wake up to a NO victory - I love our UK just as it is


And I'm quite a bit worried about Grangemouth, half owned by Swiss and half by Chinese totally uneconomical in view if the average salary of the work force £55k. Unions had to back down because those guys don't fuck about and it's Scotland's only refinery?

Big trouble if they vote yes

I've had the misfortune to stay in Grangemouth. What a fucking shithole. Every time we did work for our Falkirk depot, the c**ts repaid us by putting us on lodge in Grangemouth in the grottiest b&b you have ever seen.
Tiny room with just a bed and a wardrobe. No en-suite, communal showers and not even a bedside table with a lamp.
Most of the toilets had seats missing and if you weren't first up they would be pebbledashed to fuck with piss all over the floor.
They did a good breakfast though.

It employs over 6000 big chunk of votes there. Gosh you had a shit job!!! Ithe worst place I go to us kegworth but at least it's a free bar

I had a great job, worked all over the country, not all of it was bad, but I have stayed in some fucking dives. The place in Grangemouth wasn't the worst place I stayed, lol.

Total votes, most votes win

Yup 1 vote could be the decider. It is very exciting tbf can't imagine what the Tudors would think about all this

 

[stony]

I'm getting quite excited about which way this will go. Either way has its plus points.

Let the counting begin.

It's really not that difficult to understand

I can read what you are saying.

Basically you wanted them to stay and you still do, but if they don't then we should fuck em over.

Yeah back them till the end but if they go I want my country to make sure we good and fuck them. Like a really shitty divorce where the leaving party gets fucked right up the ring piece

I did say that I can read what you are saying. It is rather crass and juvenile. In the highly unlikely event of a yes vote both sides have it in their own interests to negotiate exit strategies that cause as little hurt as possible. However, I don't think you will need to "fuck them up the ringpiece" as I think it will be a comfortable no vote.

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you another Blair masterstroke

Blair?

What's he done now? Invaded Scotland?

Does Alex Salmond have weapons of mass destruction?

As far as I'm aware not enough brown people in Scotland to order air strikes and I'm not sure you can invade your own country

Didn't stop us in Northern Ireland

Apparently the Queen's being kept a breast.

How is the yes vote unlikely people generally jump at independence and the pools sort of have it 50/50 give or take. I don't see how the rest of Britain owes Scotland anything after the way the FM has treated everyone else or the fact that they think they can cherry pick what they want. Independence would hurt them no matter how much we tried to cushion the fall so we should just give them as little as possible in the rest of the people that remain British interests. In the "unlikely" event of a yes vote Scotland will become like France (a pain in the arse)

The polls have been influenced by a largely vocal yes campaign and those voting yes are likely to be the more vocal "patriotic" Scots. There is every chance imo that a large silent majority will be voting no.

It seems that for somebody who two pages ago said "I will be fully honest here I was all for them staying and still am" that you appear not to know where you stand.

Bookies must have wind of something - No vote now shortened to 1/9

Currency markets indicating the same with the £ strengthening significantly.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

I shall divulge in Irn Bru, Whisky, Tunnocks tea cakes, Tennents Supers and battered mars bars from now until the voting is announced.

 

[Henkeman]

I can't get over no one bothering to commission exit polls. It's astonishing.

 

[scall11]

Quite weird thinking the hundreds of years of the Union may have ended and we're just waiting to find out.

As Nick Robinson said earlier, it's one of the few times you can wake up in the morning and the country may have changed forever overnight.

I think either way today proves democracy can still survive with 80% of a country voting
