The relief this morning is unreal.
Now I'm just hoping things stay peaceful today!
Always felt things might get a bit nasty if there was a no vote. Hopefully I am wrong.
Sorry Lideluz your thread seems to have gone all Scottish.
I'm the same. Been very wary this last week. Aberdeen (where I am) should be fine I think but I wouldn't want to be in Glasgow tonight!
I think your right @hale710
I'm in Dundee and there was meant to be some big party in the city square tonight which may still happen, could be chaos.
Let's hope the minority's don't ruin it for everyone else! A party to celebrate scotland could be a great way to bring everyone back together..... It could also be a disaster. I keep my fingers crossed for you!
It's said that 85% of those who were eligible to vote voted, which ever way you look at the results today it does pour shame on the interest that is shown in the General Elections, was it only something like 30% bothered to vote in 2010?
Yep, Voting should be compulsory (with the necessary exemptions!) When you look at the effort expended on getting the vote, you shouldn't be allowed to throw it away.
That's a really good point, it's daft to not vote and then moan about who's been voted in.
I predict a much bigger turn out for the next general election!
What's more important freedom or voting for someone you don't want to vote for?Yep, Voting should be compulsory (with the necessary exemptions!) When you look at the effort expended on getting the vote, you shouldn't be allowed to throw it away.
If voting changed anything it would be illegal.Hopefully so, I keep telling my kids what a privilege it is to have the right to vote, if you don't vote you can't change things, simple as that.
