The number 45 does have an unfortunate habit of popping up in Scotland.

Indeed, and not just in Juniper Green...

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?

Maybe you can ask one of the above to explain it to you? As any of the first 4 listed should find it really simple.

Bit gutted, moving on...

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!

How gutted will you be when it gets to 1.9 million?



ETA said that in jest and then read that they want to reach 2 million so they can demand a recount lol

Also 6 groups with this name.

Good luck with that. Be sure to keep us updated on your progress.

He'll have to keep us informed, we won't notice anything otherwise

He will though, won't he

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?

This was not an election, as you well know.

No, it's a liberation movement.

Wombat3 said:

There is no next time any time soon.

When the Unionists fail to deliver there will be much demand...

...they only have until the next General Election.

The Union is over.

You lost, the Union is intact. "Get used to it" and move on.

A yes voter creating a video in case the vote didn't go their way?


anyway I doubt one person could have changed the result

[ExV8]

So, to be clear.

If the Scots had voted for independence then we would have to accept it.

If they lose they fight forever.

Lol, it is over, said so by Scottish voters.

Are you blind and deaf? Scotland voted to stay in the union, it's not over, you get used to it.

Anyone know what Alcan's share price is like at the moment ? I can feel it rising as demand for the one of products increases.

Somehow... I just picture this....

Pvt. Pike: ..........is a twerp, he's half-barmy, so's his army, whistle while you work!
Yestapo: Your name will also go on the list! What is it?
Mainwaring: Don't tell him Pike!
Yestapo: Pike!

Only in your empty head, fool.

As it turns out you might in fact just have been pawns in a much bigger game vis a vis the effective neutering of the Labour party in Westminster.

You will get some more stuff, but the dividend for others is going to be much greater.

Of course with your blindfold and blinkers on all that's going straight over your head.

There is a much bigger game going on now, you are an irrelevance as of about 6am this morning.

Get used to it.

This time.

You then, are destined to die an unhappy and frustrated man. Because there will be no win for you in your lifetime. Quite possibly not in your children's either, or ever after; for once the oil runs out an independent Scotland will be as viable as an independent Wales.

There's a post on the Yes Scotland page about Miliband supposedly reneging on devo max that says at the end:

"If they gave us more powers then everywhere in the UK would demand the same."

So much for fairness and equality! God forbid everyone should be treated the same

Hmmm



Equal vs. Fair ?

It depends on where you start from.

Nope, no-one has been able to parse "Feel free to tell us all what you think Pearson’s r would be in those circumstances?"...

But sure, lots of unemployed people voted Yes, just as lots of old folks who trust the Beeb and people with marginally affordable maxed out credit voted No.

I've mislaid the source (Ashcroft?), but it seems ABs and DEs tended to Yes, Cs to No.
