    Well feelings are running high, and it's something people feel strongly about. Id have loved a vote too but I do think it's fair that only people who live there had that privelige.
    It was the most sensible and fair way to do it and it has worked in their favour and will give a true reflection of what the people who are most affected by it want.

    No one would have taken it seriously if uncle jimmy who emigrated to Austrailia 40 years ago had a vote because he was born in Scotland. I've seen a lot of complaints from 'ex-pat' scots that they didn't get a vote......it's tough, they all chose to live elswhere, including me!

    should the English of had a vote 50 years ago when loads of scots moved down to get jobs (my dad) perhaps we could of said we're doing ok without the scots lets vote them out of the uk.
  • UGOV 46% YES and 54% NO.. but this is not a exit vote.


    Does it mean if Scottish leave, I can put English down on my passport?

    Im thinking an early night? And get up early in the morning? Or maybe just a big dose of sleep depravation :D :rotfl::rotfl:

    I just can't decide! I don't think I'd get to sleep just now anyways. But I'm knackered as it is and I would like to be able to function tomorrow, whatever the outcome!

    Eeek! :rotfl:

    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    No vote needed? We were/are a United Kingdom where people are free to move wherever they want for jobs, or for any other reason

    my point being when things were better in England scots were happy enough to be part of the uk.
    but now they got the oil they want it all to themselves

    oh and as we are in Europe we can move anywhere in the European union
