  1. Latest bit of campaigning from Better Together is to get McDonalds and Coca Cola to back the No Vote: Last gasp attempt by BT to get the undecided youth vote with cartoon character friendliness and by getting 2 Vanessa Maes and either Burt Kwouk or Gok Wan involved
  2. The abstention thing is part of the Edinburgh Agreement. It's not very well known as Better Together want to earn sponsorship money for people voting No, but it should be publicised more. Basically, if you want to vote No - you don't need to vote as it is automatically included in the No vote total. You only need to vote if you want to vote Yes. It's a scandal that Salmond agreed to this, but he got his choice of question so fair's fair. We should make every No voter aware of this.
  3. Yeah, but that's why No voters don't need to go to vote. It's unfair but those are the terms of the Edinburgh Agreement. I'm surprised it's not being reported by the likes of Wings, but Better Together are being sponsored by Nestle, Heineken and Gazprom and they will get their money back when people actually turn up to vote No - which is fine. But if you're inclined to vote No and want to stick it to the big corporations then you don't need to actually cast a No vote as it's already included in the No vote total. We need to get this out to as many No voters as possible so they don't waste their time casting a vote which has already been counted - this way they can get on with shopping which will boost the economy and get things back on an even better track so that Britain recovers even sooner.
  4. There's no direct quote from Darling in this "story" - rehash of Murphy's greeting with the egg factor being increased significantly from the single one placed and cracked on his back. meeja spinning a few non-events and scuffles in to being akin to the Ukraine or something. ing farcical and the only important thing is not to overreact to this pish. An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind
  5. It's in the record: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/dads-fury-son-narrowly-avoids-4141853
  6. I have explained to many people who plan to vote no that not voting counts towards the No vote total and only actual votes for Yes count for the Yes vote total. This way, if it is rainy or windy on September 18th then they don't need to worry about finding a cagoul or a set of umbrellas to keep them dry on their way to the polling station as they don't need to vote as not voting is the same as a No vote. I on the other hand will have to get wet if I want to vote Yes, but that's all down to the way the rules and regulations were set out in the Edinburgh agreement and agreed to by Alex Salmond - he got to choose the question but David Cameron was very clear that this had to be the case. The people I have explained this to always query it, so I say to them "it's in the White Paper book" and they always reply "I know - I've read it and it's all just a wishlist". I've made 36 people who plan to vote no aware of this information in the last week, and even though it is unfair I think we should tell as many No voters this as possible.
  7. The only poll that counts is the the one on September the 18th. I still think it is unfair and undemocratic that not voting counts as a no vote, but it is still something that we all should be highlighting to friends and family who plan to vote no on September the 18th.
