Scottish Independence thread

Well, in Scotland it is tomorrow already, and tomorrow is when the vote is. Not sure what the right choice is, but I hope you lot that can vote make it. Good luck to Scotland and UK and Isle of Man and all the rest of the various sorts of things.

Wales and Northern Island were the ones you missed. I wouldn't bother including the Isle of Man as it a is Crown Dependency rather than a direct part UK and if you go down that route you have to include the Channel Islands as well.

That is [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10]exactly[/url] why I only listed a few of the various sorts of this's and thats's, and left out Gibraltar and Falklands and Canada. :P

So this is it. Today's the day. Do or do not, sink or swim, win or lose

97% voter registration confirmed by BBC Breakfast. That's just over 4 million people. Of that number, around 1 million are said to be first time voters. Predicted turnout of 85%+.

Whatever the result, no matter which camp lose - Democracy is the clear, outright winner.

And it's on that count I find myself wanting a Yes vote. If it's a No vote, the promises of additional autonomy and powers will either be discreetly forgotten, or Westminster will simply vote against it.

So sadly, it's going to take a Yes vote to give UK politics the kick up the arse it so badly needs. Yes it's uncharted territory. Yes it's going to be tough going. But it's a break that must happen to my mind.

BBC simply reported trouble at the Yes Gig.

And everybody thought they were talking about the actual band called Yes.

Unless you talk to the Argentine government, but I hear that they have their own problems....

[Al Shut]

I know it doesn't make much difference with 97% registered, but in countries with voting registration is turnout calculated from registered or eligible voters?

[Mr Mystery]

Registered I believe - so even 85% of 97% is something of a record.

Whatever the result I expect trouble. Salmon and his ilk have whipped up so much hate that there's no other outcome. In the event of a No we may see salmon has unleashed a new Northern Ireland.
