I must admit, I've stayed out of this thread because it's none of my business what Scots decide to do with their country. What I do hope is that people are happy now that they've had their say, and that you don't let it turn you into another Quebec, constantly trying to break free. Salmonds latest thing about voting No "at this stage" needs to be snuffed out in no uncertain terms, I'm afraid.

Well done the people of Scotland - You are not leaving the UK, but you are LEADING the UK - You've triggered the biggest political change the UK has ever seen.

LOL, talk about a self denouncement. I think he's probably right that it's No "at this stage". I don't think that 10% of Scots voted Yes because they are pro-Union, they voted Yes because Salmond had no credible plan to make it happen and was lying to them, so under the circumstances where there is no clear roadmap it's too big a risk to take "at this stage".

This has been a vote of lack of confidence in Salmond.

Now what if Salmonds replacement takes 10 years to come up with a credible plan, that those 10% of voters have confidence in? Then it might have been 55% yes. So shouldn't the people of Scotland be asked again?

I don't think this thread can finish without a picture alex salmonella's face receiving the results.

I cant find one, it must be genuine.

no.

You cant just keep spending UK money on vote after vote.

The yes campaign got all the advantages, they named the question and the timing of the vote and got told No.

That's it for a generation as far as I'm concerned.
