"I know a lot of folk who voted both yes and no. Not one of them took the amount of oil which is there or not there into account in their choice."
...so its good either way that there's loads, as its good for the economy, jobs in Aberdeen etc. |

"I know a lot of folk who voted both yes and no. Not one of them took the amount of oil which is there or not there into account in their choice."
This is one of the real annoyances about the glorious 45%, the way they seem to have acquired the 2nd sight, the ability to know why NOs voted as they did.
Oil revenue didn't influence my vote, although I do think it's utter folly to depend on it as much as AS seems to do. Nor did the 'vow' by Cameron and Co., nor Gordon Brown's efforts either.
I know this will probably be an alien concept to many of the YES mob, but I made up my own mind as to how I would vote. Although this was ably assisted by AS's total inability to answer the important questions.  |

I'm sure all those people will be thankful for your insight into knowing they all have empty lives and if you're referring to oil as an asset, well, they still have it. |

I have to say I was a no voter but I think Alex Salmond is a very good politician. I don't agree with independence and a lot of the SNP policies but nobody can deny Salmonds oratory and political skills. The Yes campaign was far better than the No campaign but some people on both sides need to try and put what's happened behind them. Before the referendum everyone was saying win or lose we'll work with the other side to make a better Scotland/UK but now that it's over, having read a lot of the posts in the forums that's far from the truth. |

Oil had nothing to do with me voting yes it's not like we the common people ever get a penny of it, it belongs to the goverment & oil company's not us! I voted yes cos I wanted to be able to say I'm scottish not British & my brother is in Iraq fighting a war that he doesn't want to fight in but has to & that's why he & alot of other scottish soldiers voted yes, so can both sides just give it a rest it's the past it's over get a life & realise this is a sex site go on Facebook to talk about this from now on. |

"At least we have a new insult for everyone to use;
If you want to insult someone you simply call them a "NO Voter" there is no worse insult than this."
I voted No and before the election and since, I have not said 1 disingenuous comment about people who voted Yes. They voted as they saw fit and I respect that.
I feel no shame, nor will I ever. |

If you wish to blame anyone for the failure of the yes campaign then you need to blame those who led the campsign and FAILED to convince more than 45% of voters that independence was the best option
Take your anger out on them |

Better together didn't win the referendum, AS and the rest of the YesNP completely and utterly scored an own goal and threw it away!
They had two years to convince the whole country independence was the way forward for Scotland and instead of being up front and honest about a number of key issues which they were told time and time again were important to a lot of people, they simply resorted to trying to stick one on Westminster at every available opportunity and thought the country would get behind that. But they didn't.
I (S) voted No and I did so by post before any offer of further powers. It wasn't to do with oil but the Nats were right about one thing, I was scared. Scared the YesNP were sleeping walking the country into a complete financial disaster.
During the last few weeks of the election, Yes said the only way to ensure the NHS wasn't privatised was to vote Yes. A few weeks later following the No win, John Swinney said 'under this government, Scotland's NHS is properly funded and will be kept in public hands'. Good, glad they weren't lying about that during the referendum then. Oh, wait... |

"Even if there had been no other benefits from Better Together's stunning referendum victory, getting rid of Eck would have been sufficient. "
My very good friend was reading this and although I don't like Eck, he raised a good point: Eck has lasted longer than 3/4 Labour Leaders in his term as FM and so maybe Labour's problems going beyond leadership. With poor Johann Lamont resigning in morning, it is ironic that if she had voted yes her problems would have all been solved

Johann Lamont was a pure waste of space and that is why she did not get any support from the UK labour party and stood down.
She is an extreamly poor speaker for a politician and as much use for Scotland as Ruth davidson is (which is no use).
So with Lamont gone and Ian Price sacked who will be stepping in and does anyone really care as thousands of traditional labour supporters have deserted the party and joined the SNP.
Like it or lump it SNP works for Scotland and its people, even the uneducated no voters. |

Was reading the "what's your favourite Country" thread, on come people saying Scotland?
Some people that actually live here don't seem to realise Scotland is just a province/part of the United Kingdom just like any other part, not actually a country.

Could someone answer this that voted no, I'm curious if your hear/read "Flower of Scotland", how do you feel, like it, hate it, don't care, change it?
I personally now find it a bit....well more than a bit embarrassing singing and holding up with pride people that died for Scotland's independence. Now we know the majority of Scotland's people don't want that same independence.
Did ask something similar to this before but only a yes voter really replied if I recall.

Are you a boat? Because unless you are it's not a Union Jack. "
That's what a lot of people think but in 1908 Parliament approved using the name "Union Jack" for the national flag wherever it was used.
PS - Who cares what it is called anyway when it is being flown on such a nice pair! |

Something which has really narked me since the referendum, is the way YES voters seem to think they know the thought processes of NO voters.
One regular asumption is that all NO voters are against independence. Well I for one am not, and I don't believe I'm unique. The simple difference between YES voters and pro-independence NO voters, is we voted with our heads rather than our hearts. But it makes us no less patriotic.
As I've said before, AS and his cohorts lost the vote. Frustrated YES voters should be taking their anger and frustration out on them, they totally failed to convince sufficient voters that independence is currently a viable option.
And last but not least, just what is the point of gaining independence from London, and then being 100% ruled by a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. AS regularly cites Norway as an example of how an independent Scotland could be. An independent Scotland could never be a Norway, as the Norwegians have regularly voted to remain outside of the EU.

I certainly don't suggest I know the thought process of no voters, but then I'm not saying any one is un patriotic.
My question about the national anthem, was more on how people feel about it and is it relevant or appropriate with modern Scottish opinion/beliefs.
So the UK stays together and we're in the EU, so surely we're currently still ruled by a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels if that's your opinion, mind you if we vote to leave or ever get to vote on the subject that could change. |

Simply put, every NO Voter has removed the right to sing this song
They will probably sleep well at night with no conscience but then that is exactly what you would expect, Countries fight wars for independence as did Scotland many years ago, right through history Scotland has sadly been split, the courageous fighting for independence and then "the others" who can be led by empty promises, greed and misguidance It truly saddens me that we have so many NO voters amongst us in Scotland, people who lack ability and strength to stand it alone
that's my opinion, or part of it, other _iews cannot be written
But it is true; We (yes voters) can still rise now and be a nation again |

Totally done with it now. Its not a debate any more just attacks and insults to no voters with no appreciation of our rights under the democratic process.
With regard to Flower of Scotland....I never felt it to be a suitable anthem anyway. Backward looking and negative. Something celebrating our countrys positivity and grandeur would be preferable to me ....although I love the song itself.
Ms McGinty signing out re independence..... but standing by her decision. |

Roy Williamson will be turning in his grave at the thought that his song has become a symbol of little more than outright hatred.
That said, the way it's sung now bears little resemblance to the way he and Ronnie sang it in the Waverley Bar all those years ago. |

"Roy Williamson will be turning in his grave at the thought that his song has become a symbol of little more than outright hatred.
That said, the way it's sung now bears little resemblance to the way he and Ronnie sang it in the Waverley Bar all those years ago."
Have the words been changed? |

"Could someone answer this that voted no, I'm curious if your hear/read "Flower of Scotland", how do you feel, like it, hate it, don't care, change it?
I personally now find it a bit....well more than a bit embarrassing singing and holding up with pride people that died for Scotland's independence. Now we know the majority of Scotland's people don't want that same independence.
Did ask something similar to this before but only a yes voter really replied if I recall.
sorry I was a yes voter to but at the recent Scotland game I honestly had tears in my eyes and had to switch it over until it was finished
That song gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it ... Now ... It just saddens me

Simply put, every NO Voter has removed the right to sing this song
They will probably sleep well at night with no conscience but then that is exactly what you would expect, Countries fight wars for independence as did Scotland many years ago, right through history Scotland has sadly been split, the courageous fighting for independence and then "the others" who can be led by empty promises, greed and misguidance It truly saddens me that we have so many NO voters amongst us in Scotland, people who lack ability and strength to stand it alone
that's my opinion, or part of it, other _iews cannot be written
But it is true; We (yes voters) can still rise now and be a nation again
Hope you feel better, personally, bored stiff by your continual sniping. In fact, actually feel sorry for you.
I'm actually surprised that nobody else has come on to disagree with what he said. "
some are beyond comprehension and cant see past the braveheart subtitles sad but true |

The WAY it's sung, not the lyrics. |

But a nation people love/loved and feel passionately about, failing to gain it's independence and become a country. Is that something minor that people should just get over?
Suppose it's not a big issue for some people.
Not many other country's/nations in the world have this out look. |

"The nation was asked and the nation said No Thanks."
I did notice that, thanks. But I don't think people should "get over it", as if it's missing out on something minor. |

Picking the scars by name calling and calling into question peoples _iews and reasons serves no-one if anything the yes voters calling into question peoples patriotism or lack of clear vision or no voters calling knuckle dragging neaderthals yes voter serves no one it keeps the devision alive to those wanting to change how our country is get in touch with your party tell them what is required for the staunch no voters tell your party what you want and how you envisage a stronger union but this nonsense serves no-one |

What the losers do is entirely up to them but staying in denial, as many are, is pointless. |

come on now Onny, even Johann has seen the light and joined the 45 (p45 in her case)
or then again, maybe she has just realised that she is not genetically programmed to make political decisions |

"Lol those comesy classes going well then in answer to your question the majority of those who voted on local powers going to the snp not the majority of scotland as was proven at the referendum "
you must admit 1.6 million is exceptionally good considering the whole world was against us
You know & I know that the SNP will be voted back in next year and realistically they have the good of Scotland at their heart, unlike any other party.
It took every other party, the BBC, Sky News, all press and everyone else scheming together to trick the undecided.
So with a no vote and everything being so much better in Scotland now??? then why are you choosing to bail ship and head off work overseas; I thought things were all nice and rosy for you now in the land of better together.
if you want a direct reply from me on anything further please PM me as I will have no further comments here; as it seems many are being banned for placing their point of _iew
this is the last I will say in this on this thread. feel free to PM me direct. |

you seem to have me mixed up I aint going no-where and no 1.6 million is no drop in the ocean but it aint a winning margin as for the world ganging up on the yes voters holding them down re attaching the shackles get a grip when the no campaign thought it wasnt close there was no sign of them the airwaves were full of rainbows n butterflys independant rhetoric I want independance not because I hatte the uk but because with proper management I see it as possible but what was placed infront of the people of scotland had to much flight of fancy attached to it so it wasnt a superb no campaign that won the referendum more a flight of fancy yes campaign that lost it this is my opinion and a fair few other no voters I know stop blaming the world and blame your wonderful snp for not giving the people of scotland what they asked for a proper exit stratagy |

Count the total votes cast in any election (local council, Holyrood or Westminster) and you'll see most people in Scotland didn't vote SNP. |
