They've stopped it. Oh, I've checked your link and I think I can watch it from there. Thanks!

Unbelieveable turnouts, averages somewhere around 86%! That is unreal!

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

Although it was wrong (IMO) for only a part of the UK to decide the future of the UK (albeit 'their' part), I can't help but feel disappointed for rUK. bastard by name bastard by nature

For all your posturing over the rights of democracy, you don't seem to be too fazed that (a) the future of the UK was not decided by all of its citizens, and (b) that in a pathetic attempt to appease the minority, the political leader of all persuasions pretty much sold rUK down the river. And then you criticise the US democratic process. Odd, no? bastard by name bastard by nature

You think the rest of the UK should have had a vote on whether Scotland should be allowed to leave? I really don't see the logic in that. A contract is an agreement between parties, any party can end it if they are no longer in agreement. When you change phone contracts done on ask for permission to leave your current supplier? I mean it affects them, too. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

I'm not sure - there's already a vocal Tory rebellion on granting any more powers, but the risk the Big Three parties run is that if they weasel out of it, the Scottish electorate could swing away from Labour to the SNP, with the SNP taking the position of "the people voted No to independence, but they're still voting for us, so they obviously want something".

No, they just took it upon themselves to run around like headless chickens, and make promises without discussing with those annoying little proles. You know, the likes of you.

Looks like teh voted pretty much as Scotland did. As others have noted, hardly a win when pretty much half the population is left unhappy. Hopefully the powers that be take note. edit: bah, Jon said the same - I need to read to the end before posting!!!

How could you possibly say the all of UK had the right to allow Scotland to secede? That would have decidedly put those favour of independence at a complete and futile disadvantage. Would it have been right to have had a vote in Britain to allow America to dissolve the British rule? I thought it amazing the number of people that were allowed to vote.

I don't see the vote result as a defeat for supporters of independence. This is an historic win for them because the vote was very close. It is a loss for all of the UK however if real change for better Scottish representation does not occur. Not rheteric like we got with Hopey Changy obama, but real progress and real representation for the needs of Scotland.

I am puzzled by this statement by Cameron:

Quote:

PM: We have heard the voice of Scotland - and now the millions of voices of England must not go ignored.

What exactly does he mean by that? I could take that a couple of ways. I am sure you have a better handle on it over there; I came in way late in the game.

Thank God that the voice for independence did not require a battle as it did with our American Revolution. The Scots are to be praised for their efforts, a wonderful show of democracy in action. The U.S. and many other united nations ought to look at this as a sign that there ia a need to do better, particularly the United States. Our representatives are doing more in self preservation and for their individual states than they are for the good of Country.

The voter turnout is most impressive. The U.S. has never had voter turnout that high, even though we fought a bloody war for the right to do so. In local elections we are lucky to have 40%, national elections perhaps mid sixties (if our statistics are correct which is doubtful either way). Our voters are apathetic, even during polarised elections such as 2008 and 2012 were; a large percentage likely had no idea what they were voting for. When presented with the opponents platform as their own candidates, many were seen on videos as supportive of the opposite position. they voted for a milestone.

Hail to the Scots! May the vote send a message to the UK that the Scottish have voice and are not afraid to use it.

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

And I'd say they better get it. As I said a few moments ago, this should be a wake up call to ALL Republics and Democracies that "united" should actually mean something for everyone involved, not just many or most.

Regarding turn out I think it was particularly high for two reasons. 1. People cared about the result 2. They knew their vote counted Such a shame we didn't vote in favour of the Alternative Vote here in the UK. Whilst it wasn't the best form of Proportional Representation it was a step in the right direction in terms of electoral reform. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘
