Boomtown Boy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think longer term labour are absolutely fucked here. They have been absolutely shameless in their behaviour. Well and truely, I have voted Labour all my life but that has stopped and many more will have the same views, they aligned themselves with the Conservatives and lost a large % of their voters to the yes (me included) who will hopefully be lost to them forever for a party the promotes themselves as the ordinary working class party how come its the opposite spectrum of the vote that has voted with them. They have lost their identity . I hope they do not get 1 Scottish seat at the General Election, they will not win enough English seats to challenge as that vote is shifting to the right in general and UKIP in particular so they will have very very little impact on the political landscape. I can see them no even being the opposition party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Bullshit. Been all ages. Reported for racism and discrimination against the elderly. Cry me a river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's no coincidence that virtually every No voter I've seen on TV over the past few days has been either elderly, or English, or both. I am not so sure though. As I said in my post, the Tories are down to 1 MP in Scotland. They had 20 not so long ago. They still have a core 17 to 20 per cent in the polls though. Certainly plenty of English about. Many vote SNP. Would be interesting to see the proportion in Orkney though and Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaven Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 What can one say? Feel utterly sick today. Trying to look for positives out of this, but just can't find any. My hope that the Scottish media will keep the spotlight on making sure that Labour and the Tories deliver on their vow and not just switch off, seems fanciful. I foresee hard times ahead for Scotland now, yet I do hope that those who voted NO, don't come to regret it. A wee pic doing the rounds just now. Zoom in a bit.

LongTimeLurker Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Don't forget us in North Lanarkshire! Looks like all Alex Salmond's efforts to curry favour with the Roman Catholic hierarchy over the years may have helped deliver the yes vote in the Bucky triangle, but he took his eye off the ball in areas like NE fishing villages.

H_B Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Worth noting as well that just as gloating following the win is c**t behaviour... so is the woeful end is nigh posting from Yes posters. Try and learn a bit from the last couple of years eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Take it you only like democracy when it goes your way? I have no issue with democracy. That's fine. Rangers fans, landowners, the elderly and the middle classes voting out of self interest is the pisser for me. I fully accept the vote. Doesn't stop me being disgusted with it.

orlandoblue Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yes, cause no voters will have voted yes due to a chip on their shoulder with England. Get over it mate and move forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I can't cry. Too happy about YES getting trumped. Knew the Yes side were probably humped when I was on a twitter trend map yesterday and Bo'ness and lots of villages in Banff and Buchan were flashing a constant stream of No's. If traditional SNP strongholds weren't on board the numbers were not going to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Estimates of about 400,000 people from England now living in Scotland. I wonder how many of them voted 'no'?? And how many Scots rooted and established in England would have voted No if they'd been given a vote !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Highland result are in. 53-47 in favour of No which brings the number just over the 2 million mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 After timing. You said nothing of the sort last night. Wasn't convinced on the bookie thing being based on inside knowledge, doesn't mean I thought there was going to be a Yes by that point. I went to sleep before the Clackmannanshire result and didn't watch the results as I had initially planned to do because I could see which way the wind was blowing.
