Yeah, i understand...but Scotland is getting greater powers & 45% voting Yes isn’t a small percentage, sends a message. A federal UK can work well though.
But in the grand scheme of things that’s a small percentage of people living in Scotland and an even smaller percentage of the total population of the UK.
Over 4.75m people live in Scotland (though BBC figure put it at just over 5m, the election figures do not support this claim) the 1.6m that bothered to register and then go out and vote yes is actually just a third of the total population living in Scotland. It’s less than 2.5% of the total population of the UK.
More people live in North West England (Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire & Lancashire) at 6.8m than live in Scotland. It’s been a hell of a lot of expense for just 1.6m people and Salmond has got the devo max he wanted but Westminster originally said he couldn’t have.
