Would also love to see a Yes vote purely for the epic tears you would get from the English but I can't see it happening.
Now that would have been funny if England voted as well and the "Yes" vote got up with the majority of England voting for Scotland to leave the Union but the majority of Scotland voted to stay.The few English people I've discussed it with would have loved the chance to vote in the referendum just so they could vote the Scots out.
Brad or Chris?
I am a republican as well but this vote has nothing to do with that. Essentially Scotland is voting to become like Australia where the only link to England is that they both share the same Queen. From what I have read is that if the "Yes" camp were to win then later on there would be a vote to cut links with the royal family.They're always negative.
I wanted a yes vote because I'm a republican and would love to see a flow on effect come down to Australasia to reignite debate. Even it could reopen discussions in the canada/quebec debate too. Alas, it doesn't look good at the moment.
What I have learned from all of this though is that bob geldof is a bigger complete and utter twat than ever.

Dumfries and Galloway, Aberdeen and East Renfrewshire all voting "no."
Half the electorates have come through now
Correct me if I'm wrong but in referendums in Australia don't you usaully need a popular majority and a states majority for it to pass?I really think major, decisive, votes like this should require more than 50%+1
If you're on the borderline for making a big life decision, you usually think about it some more, rather than set a moment in time and see which way you feel then.

Correct, but in England it is 50% +1 that is required.Correct me if I'm wrong but in referendums in Australia don't you usaully need a popular majority and a states majority for it to pass?
