Aye!
Scottish voters are going to the polls today to decide whether to remain tied to the British crown or to become an independent country - and I'm glued to the Guardian coverage. I'm supporting the "Yes" campaign, largely due to its promise for creating a more social democratic nation not tied to the neo-liberal imperatives of Downing Street. I'd love to hear your two cents.

Ach Aye! The Auld enemy. You love em or hate them. I would love to it happen for different reasons than most. I would love to see Scotland prove they can be independent and succeed without England.My concerns are that they are currently too economically dependent on England and as a result have been given the short end of the stick financially. Scotland is in the midst of a severe recession, suffering socially and economically. My concern is if they have financial means to succeed independently . Can they improve the standard of living and tackle the high unemployment. I sure would live to see them succeed. I would love to hear other people's two cents or is it tupence worth?
The latest reports show that with 26 of 32 districts reporting that 54% have voted no to independence and 46% have voted yes.
Like you, I am disappointed to report that the Nay Campaign won 56% to 44%.
I was on the NO side so I was pleased
I don't think it would have been good for Scotland.
I was very impressed that over 85% of the eligible voters voted... 16 and 17 year olds were able to vote too and they took it very seriously
SEE YOU JIMMY!
Absolutely! A tremendous day for the Scots regardless of the result. I'd love to see an 85% voter turnout for our elections.
Btw...can yer lend us a fiver 'til the weekend?
I agree. That kind of turnout is brilliant. ACH Ay, Jimmy.
