Mick.

I have posted exhaustively about my reasons.

For the best part of 2 years on dozens of threads.

I'm not inclined to endlessly recycle them.

Some YESSERS have made the same point on scores of occasions.

That bewilders me.

I dispare that some people are so badly educated and dumb as fook

Got this and thought - My word, thank God I'm voting No

All fair and valid points, Quinn, but the fear for me is Tory rule for many years to come. Laour is just tory lite, but with a Yes vote Labour will have to re-align and have values that matter to the Scottish people, not Westminster.

Anyway.

The most important reason is this.

I have not been persuaded.

Far far too much of the YES campaign is vague and aspirational.

"...vague and aspirational."

Could have been a pull quote from a review on The White Paper

Will they aye?

Vague and aspirational...

Don't think I was being vague, Papa, and don't see anything wrong with aspiring to do better.

I predict a riot.

Yes voters are too highly charged to deal with defeat.

I don't either Ath, I'm all for it.

But to think there will be a manifesto u-turn by any political party is surely more like a whimsical fantasy?

It's certainly getting to squeaky bum time now and I'm increasingly worried. Not for the result, but for the fallout. Either way.

Hec - I said the very same today and one of them near about hooked me.

I said 'See...'

Thats the same position as most of my family members north of the border.

I spoke to them about it and they feel that there isnt enough in the way of content in the White Paper when it comes to the costing.

UTC - Do you not get to vote?

If it's no, it's no; I can live with that and hope Westminster realises we deserve better from those cvnts.

No fall out from me.

It's a bastirt being a pacifist at times.

I am in favour of Scotland remaining within a federal UK.

Full Tax raising powers.

Stay in Europe.

Have the BOE as Lender of Last Resort.

Share currency, civil service, defence and homeland security.

Option A Mick?

Realist dreading it.

Ath - I feel the same about Yes. What will be will be.

But so many people are so passionately vehement about it - That can't/won't switch itself off.

For me, more than anything, it's stirred people into really thinking about what they want. In a very real way. As such, I think it's on course to do major damage to society no matter what way it goes. Whereas before, most folk had a preference without any real opportunity to make it so, they now have it within their grasp and new emotions and ways of thinking have been spawned in people.

Those are most likely now there to stay. So when the dust settles, one way or the other, we will be left with at least hundreds of thousands of very very dissatisfied and, in many quarters, angry people who now despise the society they previously accepted.

That could be dangerous if you ask me.

resignatory

Like it, Mick
