They will, or a great deal of it....and will fall over themselves in their haste to backtrack as much as possible.
Thanks for the hugs though.
It can't have been easy to be outnumbered on here and I know you will be disappointed with the result, but you fought your corner well and held your own, and you retained your sense of humour throughout.
Let's call a spade a spade ...Scotland said No!!
As for "It can't be easy being outnumbered"...WTF is that about?
This is a forum ....difference of opinion happens...move on .
As for ..."the Westminster three conveniently forget what they said in the campaign"...MOVE ON... the Yes campaign lost ...Scotland said no ...game over !...the end.
Hi Erin,
I think you may have missed the point of my post and also that I may have been in the 'Yes' camp.
As a Yorkshireman (Englishman second ) my interest in it was not as a voter, but as someone who (knowing there are a number of Scots on the forum) wanted to see how they presented arguments for either a 'yes' or 'no' vote and also if their opinion changed over the course of the debate up to and including the day of the vote.
Personally I started out as a "keep us together" person, although I could not back it up with too many good points, to a small degree my gut felt that we would be better together. But I was open to a sound argument.
As for my comment about the Westminster three, I was just commenting on the fact that politicians say one thing to get what they want then seem to forget some or all of what they promised at the outset.
Hope that explains better where I was coming from.
