Love the last sentence here Pete. Please I say, let me know when ever a politician, a party ever , got elected and brought fourth the utopia that they all promised. I'll stop there as these salesmen/ professional politicians make me feel so uncomfortable even thinking about them that I try my hardest not too.So, we're stuck with you then!
With the closeness of the vote I guess this is probably the best outcome as long as Westminster follows through with the promise of more devolved power. Imagine the vote going the other way with 45% of the population finding themselves in a new country when they wanted to be in the UK! Disappointment is probably better than resentment. Let's juts hope now that our politicians can not lie for a change.
I support the rights of the English to seek independence from the Union, Pete.
In my opinion, yes. My sister-in-law was doing interviews on the streets in Glasgow (she works for the Prague Post) and one fellow summed it up very nicely (for me at least). He said "Scotland was not brave."
Same here. But it hurts.
doesn't hurt me, I feel it was the right decision
The age old problem , does Edinburgh then become the new Westminster , despised by the highlands and Islands, most probably. I certainly see the huge attraction of Scottish independence or any form of local decision making.
That's it in a nutshell for me. The right to self-determination. And regardless of whether we choose to take part in the political process or not, the politics is still going to be there and the laws made by politicians are still going to impact our lives. I prefer to have my voice heard, small though it may be.
