Go out in Glasgow tonight and see whether your opinions change.
Those are British people.

...which is why only 13% of Scottish residents identified as British in the 2011 census.

It's not just Scotland pushing for federalism; Wales, NI and the discontented periphery of England also seem quite enthusiastic. Even our beknighted PM says so.
Disconnected periphery of England? That would be all of it then. The only issue I have is that it will mean more politicians, which can only be a bad thing.
Which is why getting rid of the UK was/is the simple and effective solution!

Yet in yesterday's vote 55% identified themselves as British.

Hope you are all now supporting the will of the people ie Union
If the No campaign deliver on their promises, which already seems unlikely, I'll give credit as due.

I will not pretend to have any affection for the UKofGB&NI and I'll not support it at the ballot box.

I joined the SNP today. smile

No, 55% voted to retain the status-quo (hah!) for a variety of reasons, including, no doubt, Britishness.

There was a phenomenon known as the proudscotbut...

Maybe you can stand for the leadership.

I understand that there is a vacancy.

They will be looking for someone adept in spouting garbage.

You could be just the man to take over.

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.

But if the 'no' win, then we have to listen to the whining of the other side to 'get another go'?

Careful, that fire they used to hold the voters' feet to is hot.

Who would have thought that some of those who lost the vote would not accept it.

All should reflect the will of the Scottish people.

Joining a losers group is barking. Salmond had the right idea, the SNP lost and they exist now for what?

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