Ping for your thoughts. Aye ready.
So far the first results are small; nothing much can be deduced from them.
Glasgow, Edinburgh, are the ones to watch.
Delighted. Scotland has always been free, free to stay in the UK. We are no colony, no subjugated country, not part of England, but a strong and proud part of a union with Wales, England and NI. One that has worked for 307 yrs and benefitted Scotland without us losing our pride in being Scots. I can and remain both Scottish and British, and 56% of people agreed.
Also imo a lot of the other 44% was not nationalism, but a protest vote against the Tories. My own brother was a YES (but pragmatic and respectful) and even he admitted a third devo max option (stay in the UK, but greater powers, more federalist) would have got his vote.
The vague and imo inward and reductionist nationalism has been well beaten. This was their time. IMO the nationalist cause will recede back to earlier levels. The reform of Scotland and the UK to come will imo strengthen the union.
Maybe we will vote one day to leave the UK, but not on what was offered in 2014. NO THANKS.
