I object to this statement. Its incredibly insulting to the 46% of voters (as it stands) who have felt strongly enough to have voted yes.

That's your opinion. I stand by mine 100%. Good morning Scotland!

But you have to accept the majority of voters have voted to stay in the UK.?
They must have felt strongly to have voted no

I didn't feel the comment was insulting but I appreciate those who voted yes will be disappointed

Allan, West Linton: Feeling very relieved, I was on the fence then veered to the No camp, but when I voted I had a moment of madness & went for Yes. I followed my heart instead of my head. I was happy when I heard the result.

From BBC newsfeed :eek:

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

Ha, I knew it

It would have been exciting if it had been a Yes but I thought the No vote would win.

Don't think exciting is quite the word I'd have used.....goodness knows what the markets would have made of it, not to mention the uncertainty that would have followed for the next 18 months.

Couldn't believe the number of people who went to vote together and then one voted yes and the other voted no .....couldn't they agree both not to vote??

They might have worried that the other would sneak out later for crafty vote.

Or they were scared?

Scared by the media telling them they would lose their pensions? (lies)

Scared by the press reporting that food prices would go up? (More lies)

Scared by the reporting that the banks and big companies would relocate and take the jobs? (Denied by the banks and businesses?)

Persuaded by the Prime Minister of the UK that there was greater spoils to be had? ( a promise withdrawn within 24 hours)

71% of young people voted yes, 73% of over 65s voted No. It's not over. A year ago, no one thought the YES vote would come close. Two weeks ago, Westminster and the City saw the reality. They threw everything they had at this to get what they wanted.

It's a result based on deceit, lies and spin. It's a hollow win for the unionists who have their own reasons to keep Scotland in the UK.

We are where we are. It's up to us to make the best of what we have. I predict another referendum within 10 years;next time we'll get the right result.

If I was in Scotland I'd be voting No, but I hope it's a yes and they stop whingeing and sod off because the thought of more money being thrown at them if they stay, meaning even less for the rest of us

!!!!!!! Scotland generates way more money than it receives. Way more. Wales, Scotland, the North of England, the South West of England, the Midlands, all pay into the centralisation of the South East of England.

Stop believing the carp fed to you by the media.

just to play devils advocate here - maybe they were scared to pin their vote on a wish-list, a this-is-what-we'd-like-to-do-but-we-will-have-to-negotiate-and-theres-no-guarantee-we'll-get-to-do-any-of-it deal?

I don't think it is. FWIW I don't read the newspapers or watch the TV news, I think the rallying of the Westminster troops hightailing it up to Scotland last week was too little, too late, but I would still be a No voter. I believe we are better together.

Yes, we are where we are. Scotland decided, Scotland voted No. What we need now is for everyone in Scotland, yes or no voters, to get back to living next to each other, being a community together, just as we were before referendum week.
