jailender Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 There were #45 badges available in Inverness on Saturday, as a guy I know had one on. But he was pissed and can't remember who he got it from ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will alienate the other 55% who you and I know has many in it that may switch over. I'm shaking my head in disbelief at this as YES is more than good enough. We are dividing the groups already. Wear your YES badge with pride. Edited September 22, 2014 by antidote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear your YES badge with pride. Agree with this. The 45 thing needs re-thinking. We're branding ourself as a minority with an issue. We need to be a majority and that's not the most sensible marketing to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear your YES badge with pride. I see where you're coming from but the 45 thing, for me at least, is a tool to keep the momentum going in the short term. 'Yes' is over, done and dusted. I still wear my Yes badge but if someone says well, you lost, why are you wearing that, what then? The answer to the the question 'what's 45?' is that 45% of Scotland decided they wanted independence, why not come and join them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there will be some sort of announcement soon. If someone asks you why you're wearing your YES badge then tell them it's because you are proud to have voted YES.

redstevie007 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If someone asks you why you're wearing your YES badge then tell them it's because you are proud to have voted YES. I would have thought that goes without saying, and yes, the main reason I wear it is because I don't want people looking at me and thinking 'that f*cker's in the military, he must've voted No'. But other than pride it's difficult to explain to someone, especially a No voter, why you're still wearing your Yes badge when Yes finished at 7am on Friday. To me, a line was drawn under it and we've moved onto the next phase, which is pressuring Westminster to deliver their promises and when they don't, securing another referendum as soon as possible.

YES is still there and should be used as a sword of Damocles hanging over the Westminster government to make sure they go through with their vow and maybe to start up the campaign again if they renege on the deal. The YES campaign has still got all the affiliated groups and volunteers intact and the hunger is still there, so to disband this group until Independence is won would be complete folly. YES can only grow and can become a rallying group for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antidote Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wear them and don't be surprised if the next referendum vote is only 45%. It would make a difference if it had along the lines of 45 & rising or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You will not find a better banner than Yes. It would be lunacy to replace it with a number. The 45 is exclusive and cliquey in comparison. It also sounds a bit naff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be different if it was " 45 and still got ma bottle ". The difference is that YES is all inclusive and 45 is only for the people who voted YES the first time. We want more than 45. I respect you and always will for voting YES, but I want some of the 55 to vote YES also. I'm not being angry at people who want to highlight this, but I can see the pitfalls in the future, a future that I hope will be coming very soon. Let's stick with YES.

thplinth Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The ownership of Yes is the biggest asset of the campaign. If we surrender it we are crazy. The very word Yes IS positivity. YES encapsulates optimism and openness. Compared to a number which is closed and now the past... It has to be YES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I prefer AYE We have that too. One of the most beautiful moments of the campaign for me was when all the different nationalities in Scotland were holding up the word YES in their native languages.
