 When I saw a BBC news clip yesterday of a portly no supporting middle aged Scottish woman fearmongering about losing her pension if a yes vote was successful I knew for sure all bets were off on the affirmative.

The EU would have punished Scotland worse.

They would have needed to set a precedent to keep Belgium and Spain from falling apart.

On a lighter note... the new flag of England and Northern Ireland would have looked like a red 6-legged bug. (See frame 13)

I'm with Victoria Nuland: "FUCK THE EU."

With respect to unfair taxation, apportion of debt, skimming oil royalties, fisheries, general economic and sociopolitical enslavement, and FINALLY the promise of REAL SCOTTISH PROSPERITY, I wonder how many "No Voters" are aware of how much they just "FUCKED SCOTLAND." 

They Will Be.

My final prediction 51% /49% in favor of union.  I find it somewhat bemusing that no matter where you go on this globe, you find elections in which the outcome always seems to be within a few percentage points. As though no society on this planet can muster a majority of any kind unless you belong to some despotic regime i.e. King Saddam pre-2003 and Dick is the vice-president of Murica.

There's no way this vote is legit - too much at stake, I'm sure the NSA/CIA/DOD/MI5/MI6/Mossad/DIA/SD/AFISR/FBI/INSCOM/CGI/JIO/CSIS/CSEC is having a field day raping and suppressing a peaceful revolution.

there is an opportunity here to evaluate the NO voters - by a psychologist -

was their vote largely based on general FEARS? - not factually based -  not on specific  facts

they had a backstop with the oil and gas regardless of ten years or 50 years reserves and their own tax base and energy  yet they were scared of the unknown based upon my distant instinct  - the bogeyman ---- if so the USA is lost as well, the middle class is not worth talking about anymore just let them go away and disappear

I have watched polls go wrong, way wrong before.  Quite recently in BC Canada.

 

This was a good day to vote. Hope Scots do it for themselves.  Voter turnout is HUGE.

And I would point out that polls are used to influence voters beforehand.  Sheep wish to conform to the "norm".  So a poll that involves 1500 people is flawed as a reflection of the population #1.  But putting out results for weeks is meant to influence voting.

Polls keep people employed.  Accurate?  But have become a political tool.  A lobbyist if the shoe fits.  You can rig a poll but I think you have a harder time rigging an over 80% voter turnout unless it is in Ukraine or Zimbawe or other CIA playgrounds.

Hard to rig a vote when so many actual people (not assets) are doing the counting.

Quite right. CONFORMISM IS A POWERFUL FORCE among helpless people.  They are the most contemptible sort, fully prepared to vote "TO GET ALONG" on even the most serious issues rather than think for themselves and vote their conscience.  It's hard to sympathize when they're exploited by psychopaths, as they're the first to turn in their neighbors before a totalitarian regime turns on them.

Exit polls are notoriously wrong. People who don't want to be caught on camera, or caught otherwise, usually go with the status quo. Not like you're going to catch them anyway.

To build a marriage it takes 2 Yes's. To break one it takes 1 No.

If these numbers are close to correct, tt doesn't matter if it's no. With that kind of turn out and that many yes votes, the UK will burn. That is a lot of people that don't want to be a part of that union anymore. That won't change after this vote.

Numbers are dog shit. From BBC:

YouGov's on the day prediction poll is based on the responses from 1,828 people who voted today, together with 800 who had already voted by post and were interviewed previously.

The ones who were contacted today consist of respondents to one of YouGov's polls conducted earlier this week, and the company claims there has been a small shift from "Yes" to "No" among this group.

   The Cable closed the gap down from the Friday voting pole and is already 120 or so pips above it, to Draghi ECB levels. the GBP macro hasn't been that good, and structurally Scotland has major issues to deal with, even if the NO vote wins.

"YouGov bases its prediction on the responses of 1,828 people after they voted today, together with those of 800 people who had already voted by post. Today’s respondents had previously given their voting intention earlier this week. By recontacting them, we could assess any last-minute shift in views. Today’s responses indicate that there has been a small shift on the day from Yes to No, and also that No supporters were slightly more likely to turn out to vote," it said on its website.

 

So they are re running the same poll twice, leaving out all the off-sample people as the first time.

Going down the Quebec road. Threaten to separate. Get more free stuff. Don't separate. 10 years later, repeat.

If it's 54-46, that is better than I expected as odds-makers were offering just one for five on a NO vote.  As many of those who vote yes are the young, the future looks like independence.  At the very least, it will limit what the UK government will risk doing that might upset voters - like joining in on the next (neo 'conservative' initiated) war that the USG/NATO wants.  Additonally, if there is a deep recession now, which is overdue, it cannot be blamed on independence.

I haven't gotten too ecited about the whole because I am not Scotch.  And I don't have any Scotch silver coins.,or any gold ones either.  Did anyone bring anything to the table about a Scotch Central Bank and what type of currency would be issued?  Would there be another shitty paper currency issued forth on FOREX?  Let me guess, it would pegged the pound sterling which is,.. well we already know how that goes.  Trade one crook for the other and see how that goes for Scotchland.  

You are a good guy and I'm giving the rib on the "Scotch".  I wish you all the best,  I can wish in one and crap in the other and see which gets filled first though.  I could be worse you know, you could have Barack Obama for a golfer or....  Fuck it, nevermind me.

Yes?  No?  Ask the brits if they lived in a country called Scotland and they were given the chance to be independent.  Would they vote Yes or No?  I thought so!!!

Wussies, pure and simple. My great grandparents [who emigrated from Scotland to the U.S. right after the Civil War] would be horrified at a people afraid to get off the English tit. Enjoy morons.

A No vote will leave no one happy.

Almost half the Scottish population will have voted Yes and be aggrieved that they were blocked and they will blame every ongoing irritation in life on being forced to remain part of the UK, and they will continue to campaign for exit.

Those who voted No will have got nothing more than what they had before, which for most was not very thrilling.  Which will leave them starting to feel remorse, especially as they are attacked by those who voted Yes.

The UK government will feel pressed to offer more goodies to the Scots, at the expense of the rest of the UK, particularly England.  Scotland has selfrule while England does not.  Scotland gets a disproportionate share of government funds taken from the English, who didn't get a vote on the result.

So expect almost everyone to end up unhappy about a No vote.

When I think of YouGov I think of Huffington Post.  When I think of Huffington Post I think 'propaganda.'  Ergo I think this is propaganda designed at creating an idea ahead of time, to cover any fraud that may be perpetrated.

Whoever actually believed this would pass was deluding themselves. Did you *really* think City of London would allow this?

I thought "no" meant they aren't staying. Again it's all aboot how you frame the question. And who counts the votes. And bad math.

Scotland proves a people that are on the dole and dependent on others neither can no will ever be free of the hand that feeds them.

The same exact thing happened when Quebec tried to leave Canada. 

Socialism means slavery.

It always seems to come up at the most inconvenient times...

The fucking worthless Scots! Bunch of fucking pansy candy asses too busy sucking on the English tit to even want their freedom. They are a fucking disgrace who do not deserve to be called Scottish any longer. They should be called English from here on out. They should be put in big concentration camps by the English and all killed. That is the fate they deserve for their lack of courage. They make me puke. I would piss on the heads of the whole lot of them. FUCK YOU, SCOTLAND. Believe me, if there is ever a vote for a free Texas, I would vote for it even if I had to live in a cave and eat dog food for the rest of my life - at least I would be a free Texan.
