i voted SNP, give it 10 years, max, and we will be free. labour is nothing up here, much like the tories.
Tom, you are free now mate. The Scots were offered the chance to walk away from the Union no questions asked and the majority said "no thanks, we're just fine as we are". You are not a nation of prisoners being oppressed by the English against their will. You get that, right?
If the Tories are smart (in a political cunning sense) they will now grant Scotland all the fiscal autonomy the SNP want, tax raising powers etc and Holyrood can crack on with running all of Scotland's affairs minus defence and foreign policy. I think that would leave you with a revenue vs spending shortfall of about £7.5 billion per annum at the moment but at least you can raise your own taxes on the Scots to cover it. I've no doubt people north of the border will love the SNP for engineering that situation and show their appreciation in the next elections to the Scottish Parliament.
45% of the population aint going away, and looking at the demographics of no voters, the majority were elderly. and free in the sense where we are governed by a party who got 1 seat out of a possible 59. Scotland and england are too different to carry on in the one union, we are far more left wing, we are pro europe, recognise the free state of palestine and are against trident. the tories to not represent scotland the SNP do
