Implications for the rest of us if Scotland votes yes

[8ball]

YES voters are undemocrats who think they won.

I can manage that one.

Being absolutely fair, though, getting 45% of the vote when the media is telling you you'll be eating each other in 6 months time and will only be able to trade with stale shortbread and used syringes is quite an achievement.

 

[Dandred]

Not a prediction. The question is a clue.

will is used as a prediction, the majority of poster in the Alba forum predicted a yes vote, no?

No it's not. The question is: "Will you vote for independence?". No one predicted anything.

Well done on being this fridays half hour two pint hero though.

Maybe. But I think the 44.7% YES was about 'par' - neither a good nor a bad result.

Chomsky said international capital would be ranged against a yes vote. As usual, spot on by the knitwear king.

Well, it is quite late here. Still, as I read Urban daily as a way of keeping in touch with the UK I'm surprised the No vote won. Aren't you?

No. Because i don't use a thread on a regional forum on part of a brixton based forum as a guide to election outcome

No. Because i don't use a thread on a regional forum on part of a brixton based forum.

What vote were you expecting? And what vote were you hoping?

 

[Dandred]

Reading this thread yesterday, the Yes vote was in the bag.

 

[Dandred]

The only point I'm trying to make is that the forums here are way out of touch with people who vote, if that is wrong correct me.

If you based your view of UK politics on Urban everyone would either be freelance journos for the Telegraph or black hoodie clad anarchos running wild in the street, with a helping of middle class utopians

No, they would be bored middle class politicos with nothing better to do than argue on line!

You really think urban is still brixton based forum?

Nope, but it'd be a right fucking tool who used it as it a prediction guide.

 

[Belushi]

You should have looked at the predict the result of the referendum thread where the majority of respondents voted that No would win.

 

[Dandred]

I should have followed the BBC! Same as Urban.

 

[Dandred]

Nope, but it'd be a right fucking tool who used it as it a prediction guide.

Okay, I should have said, "Urban is way out of touch with the vast majority of UK voters." better now?

 

[gabi]

You really think urban is still brixton based forum?

Well, considering it's based in the barrier block, in central brixton, I'd say yes, it is. There was a short period there a few years ago when it went a bit more global but it's gone back to its roots I'd say.

Shit, I didn't see all those other forms.

 

[gabi]

Shit, I didn't see all those other forms.

What forms? Lost.

 

[Dandred]

What forms? Lost.

You couldn't work out that I mistyped forums?

 

[free spirit]

Okay, I should have said, "Urban is way out of touch with the vast majority of UK voters." better now?

I'd hope so.

 

[paolo]

I'd hope so.

Out of touch, in terms of understanding the broader populis - far from it, it seems.

Out of alignment, with their views, absolutely. It's why we're here.

 

[sihhi]

Especially in Wales. Especially if the YES vote is followed by any kind of Leftist government.

This is going to be such a landslide...

I think this overstates the support in Wales for independence.

At the moment it is 42-34 against the Assembly setting a Wales income tax
