There's a facebook group called "We are the 45%" it already has over 89,000 members, we're not going back in the box!
Perhaps I'm confused, if 'yes' had won 50.1:49.9 then all the people who wanted to stay in the Union had to just shut and up put up with never being part of the (or one of the) most successful unions ever.There's a facebook group called "We are the 45%" it already has over 89,000 members, we're not going back in the box!
But if the 'no' win, then we have to listen to the whining of the other side to 'get another go'?
Sometimes losing a vote closes out options - I've never voted for privatisations for example - but it doesn't stop you working for your political aims.
My political aims include ending the UKofGB&NI.

Well there's a relatively high correlation (0.76) across the 32 pairs of data (constituencies) with arrays of yes % and benefits claimants %. Feel free to tell us all what you think Pearson’s r would be in those circumstances?- CFO of an oil related company

Sorry, but that is exactly what losing the vote the other way would have entailed.Sometimes losing a vote closes out options - I've never voted for privatisations for example - but it doesn't stop you working for your political aims.

So please explain why you think you should have it both ways?

You can be an "anti-citizen" if you want - or you could try something really novel (for you) and get on the same team that most everyone else is on and start pulling in the same direction as most of the other people.
You won't of course because you are who you are sitting squarely on the negative side of the country's balance sheet.
The reality is that you revel in that status & you clearly think of yourself as some kind of anti-establishment hero.
You really need to have a word with yourself.

Exactly, as the 'noise' from Salmond towards those like Darling and Brown was 'post independence will you work towards the common goal', why is this suddenly different just because you lost?You can be an "anti-citizen" if you want - or you could try something really novel (for you) and get on the same team that most everyone else is on and start pulling in the same direction as most of the other people.

Who would have thought that some of those who lost the vote would not accept it.
Do you stop voting just because your guy lost last time? Get used to it
you will be dead in the unlikely event of another referendum.Your aims are the very definition of futility...
Bring back VP so we can rub his nose in it
