    semi-clear winner

    Can you please define semi-clear winner further for me?

    It does not make sense in my opinion.

    The more I think about the debate last night, the more annoyed I get. It was awful and was so out of touch with the conversations I've been having with friends, family and colleagues. It is this adversorial, evading the question, aggressive approach to politics which I hate.

    I agree with this comment

    strange


    I thought these two politicians were elected by the Scottish people after a fair and honourable democratic election.

    what are you on about now? What has that got to do with my point about the debate (and by extension the political system) being adversorial and aggressive?

    why are you being so adversarial and aggressive?


    why do you hardly ever agree with anything I post?

    I'm sorry to say that is very naive.

    The biggest opposition to a YES vote is the Westminster, media run "project fear", which is trying to influence the vote by any means possible.

    If Westminster wasn't involved, YES would win by a landslide.

    Project Fear...you guys really need some fresh ideas, it really puts me off that you can't discuss actual issues, just like Salmond last night wasting his 12 minute slot because of his playground tittletattle, come on, does he post on here?

    Westminster has heehaw to do with the way this vote goes, it's sad that you believe your fellow countrymen are brainwashed sheep, you have no respect for other peoples concerns, the cornerstone of your vote relies on faith, not fact. Naive...you'd know all about that.

    Maybe if the YES campaign weren't so arrogant they'd make inroads however I can't see any egos deflating until after the vote.

    I'm sorry - this debate means a lot to me and you just seem to post abject nonsense most of the time which winds me up. I dont' understand what your point had to do with what I said.

    You were undecided before?

    What swayed you, the lack of any answers? The constant repetition of "I only want what's best for Scotland"? Or that we're Safe from alien invasion?

    Quite frankly, that debate was a complete waste of 2 hours.



    I'm surprised that Aliens with the technology enabling them to travel millions of light years would be stumped getting over Hadrian's Wall, you have to hand it to those Romans.

    Sadly you have the the nail on the head.
    One side thinks that anyone that doesn't agree with them talks 'abject nonsense' or is brainwashed by Westminster / SNP etc.


    The fact that the debate means a lot to you seems to imply that very one else is playing around.

    You are clearly just playing around and trolling and more fool me for encouraging it.

    You state that the debate is defined by anti-English sentiment with no evidence for this whatsover.

    You post about 'Flower of Scotland' in what feels like an endless loop.

    You decide that SNP supporters will believe the problems with the STV player are due to censorship, regardless of the fact that no-one believed this.

    You answer a point about the adversorial aspect of the debate (which I believe you have not watched) with a non sequitur about AS and AD being elected politicians.
