Mr Bairn Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'll probably laugh. I've seen some yes supporters say they will move, others say they will just be a bit gutted, and some say they will be quite happy as Scotland will get what they "deserve".

throbber Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I will get on with my life and say its for the best The main thing for me is that everyone votes, i have spoken to people who say they aren't going to vote because it won't matter either way - those sort of people make me sick! The no campaigners are getting on my wick a lot but its mostly because they fail to see the advantages to independence that i see and that frustration goes each way so as long as its what the country votes for i will accept the outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there to say "told you so". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Chances are that the no voters will start moaning about Westminster policies straight away. I'll be there to say "told you so". Right. So being anti-secession means you have to be in favour of every single Westminster policy from then on in? Presumably if it's Yes, you will be lockstep in agreement with every future Scottish government decision, whichever party is in power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally as a no voter I actually do see a lot of benefits of independence. Scotland is a nation and usually nations do run their own affairs. Also we'd be better represented within Europe as an independent country. There's also the democratic deficit although I think that's a bit silly as every country has democratic deficits and even within Scotland there would be democratic deficits. The main thing most no voters see is the risk involved. It's a risk reward process. Is the reward worth the risk? Are we the next Norway or the next Greece?

harry94 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Move on. People are only voting on what they think is best for the country and it would be disappointing if the 2015 and 2016 elections are fought with bitterness and spite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a thread about how we're going to react if we don't get independence I'm not sure how to react to your questions as i genuinely don't know how we're going to go if we get independence so i understand where you are coming from but not its not the point i was getting at. My main concern is that say we miss out on independence on a 55/45 outcome even though 20% of the country didnt bother voting then start complaining that things aren't going well for them - same goes if we do get independence and those who were too lazy to vote come out and voice their disgust when its too late. If its what the country decides and as many people as possible made an educated vote then i will be happy and will move on with my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'd be upset, I'll be honest. Upset at a massive missed opportunity and at the lack of baws displayed by my fellow Scots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkinFighter Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You said " Chances are that the no voters will start moaning about Westminster policies straight away. I'll be there to say "told you so"." What would you have "told" us? That you should have voted yes to have more say in the way Scotland is run. Moaning about a government you have virtually no say in is futile, that's why we need to vote yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bairn Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I told you last night. You can't just switch in and out of deliberate trolling and expect people to start listening to you again. Yeah, well, I'm going to try and cut it out. Quite frankly I was suffering some household problems(which haven't gone away) yesterday, I know this doesn't excuse my behaviour but I was basically winding people up for the kicks because I had feck all else to do to please myself. I will surely try to make legitimate points from here on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
