[Devo Max]

As others have said, Devo MAX by definition is home rule. All revenues raised in Scotland (including a geographical share of natural resources) would go to Edinburgh. Scotland would then be obliged to pay Westminster a population share of defence and foreign affair costs. Anything short of this is not Devo Max.

[Signed Up To The Cause?]

I signed up, thought I'd get an email, but nothing so far.

Now I am worried it didn't go through properly, did anyone get the email right away?

Ta.

No e-mail despite signing up more than 24 hours ago. Wasn't really expecting one, but maybe there should have been?

[Salmond And The House Of Lords]

I believe salmond has already stated that he'll be standing for re-election as an MSP in 2016. He'll be around for a while yet.

[Should The Yes Campaign Continue.]

Tried for about an hour to join the SNP last night but their members area kept crashing - presumably due to the large numbers attempting the same. Succeeded this morning though!

I promised myself years ago that I would never join a political party, but needs must!

[New National Anthem For Euro2016 Ties]

Really can't be bothered with the two upcoming home qualifiers and glad I hadn't ordered tickets for the England friendly.

Might not even bother going to the games now, but as I've booked travel I'd be as well to try and enjoy a day or two in the largest city in the north region of GB.

[Will The No Side Honour Their Pledge?]

An extract from Robert Peston's blog:

'The big question about the Prime Minister's plan to hand more control over taxes, spending and welfare to the four nations is how far this would end the subsidy of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland by England, and especially by London and the South East.

For all that it may sound attractive to the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish to have greater influence over their respective economic destinies, presumably that would be less desirable if at a stroke they became poorer.

The point is that as and when there is an English Parliament for English people - of the sort that the former Tory minister John Redwood has been demanding, and David Cameron seemed to concede today - the financial transfer from England to the rest of the UK may be harder to sustain.'

[My Apology]

I don't understand who we can go from and SNP Majority in 2011 to such a thumping in 2014. Given that the SNPs main policy was to push for the referendum and ultimately indy then surely by default all of those who voted them in as a majority government also supported this. Where have all those people went in 3 years? The map below shows how each region voted in 2011. What has changed so much to remove all that yellow off the board?

The SNP vote in 2011 was 45% FPTP and 44% on the list. Identical to the YES vote yesterday.

Due the higher turnout about 750k more voted YES than voted SNP in 2011.

[Predictions]

Well first of all the SNP won't stay in power in Holyrood forever so as soon as Labour get back in with the Lib Dems say hello to tuition fees. Westminster are cutting the NHS budget in England via privatisation so Scotland's block grant will drop leading to a cut or privatisation in the NHS up here to cover the shortfall. Labour have came out and said they want to align their policies between Holyrood and Westminster so there goes the difference between Scottish and English policy. These extra devolution proposals will result in Scotland getting less money in the block grant and having to raise taxes to keep the Scottish budget from dropping to drastically. This will result in capital flight as rich folk won't want to pay more taxes up here if they can pay less by moving a bit south.

All correct! Personally, I am absolutely stunned that the people of North Britain have, in effect, voted for the end of free education.

[The Tamb Independence Referendum Results Thread]

Yes needed to get circa 55% in Clack. This is going to be humiliating.

[Undecided Pal Nearly Going No - Help]

The NHS cuts mentioned are in the context of being in the union, not of independence. They will happen in the event of a no vote.

[Yes Or Devo Max]

No is definitely still no, yet the MSM are reporting no as something not connected to reality!

I was only half paying attention, but Jackie Turd introduced Distorting Scotland with a line similar to 'two days before Scotland decides whether to vote for more devolution or for independence'!!!!

WTF?!?!?!?!

[Betfair Paying Out On No Vote Already]

better together's facebook page likes has went from 169,000ish to 207,910 likes in a matter of days

...and the YES page likes has increased at a faster rate - now over 300k.

[85 % Turnout Expected]

Talking to a Cypriot at Frankfurt Airport yesterday and he wont be voting. He has his polling card, but is half way through a 2 year work contract in Aberdeen and will be returning home to Cyprus after that and doesn't think it would be right to vote.
