I was hoping for a Yes vote.
China’s Global Times (Chinese ver) said Scotland’s Independent Referendum is sign of blood clot in the Western democracy system!
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.
“I was hoping for a Yes vote.”
Just wait, Scottish Independence hasn’t been defeated by numerous military defeats to the English, it won’t be defeated by one lousy vote.
Scottish Nationalism is growing all England can do is satisfy it with a form of Federalism already being rapidly made obsolete by same politicians with the EU & NATO. Frankly the UK is a thing of sentiment 300 years old in a land of thousands of years of separation and warfare.
I furthermore don’t buy the argument that the Scots are socialist, i think they were using theses issues as ploys to win easy support from dependence. I do however believe that they wold have carried out their policy on getting rid of the nukes largely out of necessity as England is unlikely to allow such valuable assets to remain in control of a foreign country, and Scotland is unlikely to be willing to foot the R&D bill necessary to sustain them.
Yep, me too.
