In reply to Amy.

If Scotland had voted for independence, I would have left England and gone and lived there!

There was a huge campaign of scaremongering by the media, considering that out of 37 national newspapers in Scotland, only 1 was pro-independence, I think the Yes campaign did tremendously well to get as many votes as they did.

The latest polls show that the majority of Scots would vote for independence if they had the vote now.

Staying as part of the Union was a terrible mistake, Scotland had the chance to shape their own future and not be part of the power-hungry elite in Westminster, now the next time parliament votes to send British troops in another illegal war, Scotland will have no choice to refuse.

I was pulling for Scotland to vote ‘yes’ for two reasons. First reason my friend is Scottish and voted ‘yes’ and I know how passionate she is about independence and it would have been giving the middle finger salute to the British conservative government 😀

Scotland you had your chance to break free :O

“So congratulations Scotland. Whatever the result of this referendum, you have been an example to the world of how these things should be done, and I’m sure going forward you will continue to shine. ”

Agreed! The civility displayed during the entire procedure should be a lesson to the world; on both fronts, the UK as a whole and the breakaway movement. It was a win/win situation from my view.
