This morning’s ‘Tribune de Genéve’ carries a cartoon showing a kilted Scotsman standing high on a rock. Two hikers are passing by – the woman says “Look – he’s got nothing on under his kilt!” The man replies “Yes – and he’s got no balls

A wonderful opportunity missed.CryCryCry

Self determination and no more Tories forever more.What was not to like about that?

No more Tories? Confused

An "Independent" Scotland would have been even more under the thumb of big business than he UK. Salmond had already set out plans to slash Corp Tax to attract the multinationals

That's the nice thing about their democracy, they're free to communicate that kind of idea.

Unfortunately it seems a bit misguided. The EU members, the UK, Nato members are pressing for the "no" vote to protect their own self interest. It was hardly a standalone Scottish decision with so much pressure and "or else" from outside Scotland.

aka it's that formula that has baffled me. then someone says "Please check the formula on this notice, it is completely wrong, if we are going to be taken seriously we need to get the maths right." Crazy
Then I looked at a link they had which was supposedly a Green Party member having evidence of rigging and it was a documentary about the Queen. Shocked
Looks like a big p1ss take,

On the link you gave there is another link and it is about the 10 votes that the police are investigating.
Probably is a wind up but it'll get some of them hoping.
Independemce was an ill conceived idea from the start and it has badly divided Scotland.

I know the result has disappointed you xmoneyx
but you have got better devolution terms
look on it as the best of both worlds

I think that 53.7% majority in the Scottish Parliament rather fooled the SNP into thinking they had
a solid majority for independence...rather than the truth Scotland was divided

I was wrong to condemn Cameron....he was right to allow a referendum at this time

I don't think there will be much fall out from this myself, things will carry on as usual.

SNP will regroup and come again, but need a solid 60-70% support before they push
for a referendum again....in my opinion

Scotland will never be independent. Everything was in place, hated Tory government (forget useless Libs), poor people energized, massive turnout and it still wasn't that close in the end.

This was the time. There will never be enough willing to change  Sad

The tories and NL will soon go back to their arrogant ignorant ways, treat Scotland like **** again, and many of the no voters will see how they´ve been shafted and change their tune.

And the demographics of the vote will give indy a better chance next time, when many of the old farts are brown bread

well that was the claim

Gordon Brown said today he vows to lock in new Scots powers..ensure promises are kept

Although he ain't PM is he, Cameron is, I assume you think Cameron will go back on them???

From your 2nd post it seems you do think that, and Milliband will also do that
