Effect of Scottish Independence Vote

Where's it gone? Can you post the URL please?

I am interested in how it answers my questions.

I'm 100% scots will vote YES

Despite every single opinion poll showing a No vote was more likely, and the last two opinion polls showing No almost 20% ahead? And an increasing number of companies and high profile individuals finally coming out against independence, because they are no longer afraid of nationalist bullying?

Odd.

It is fairly typical of Yes.

Rather than look at the polls, learn from them and makes changes so to swing people to independence, they use the ostrich manoeuvre. Only popping up when they need to deliver the McEnroe defence.

If Yes wants to win, it needs to look at WHY people don't want independence and engage people on that basis. They won't, because they are right and we (Scottish no voters) are wrong. They largely are only engaging those who are already convinced so Yes becomes "even more Yes" but doesn't shift in the polls. And so they will lose.

To be fair to taxi, he did not say that ALL Scots, or even a majority of them, will vote yes. So he could argue he is definitely right with his prediction :rotfl:

You do realise that a majority requires more than 50%?

I am not really expecting an answer since you haven't answered half of my other questions to you.

Let me explain how voting works - if you get less than the other side, you have lost. That means no independence.

If you think differently, then you will turn Scotland into another Syria.

if the question should have been ... should scotland retain devolved government, and further extend devolved powers? ... then why not ask that in the first place? it might well get a different answer.

otherwise, it's a bit like changing the subject after you've lost the argument.
