Damo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It genuinely feels as though it's just dawning on Westminster that this referendum is actually happening. There has been no preparation at all for the sh!tstorm coming their way if Scotland votes Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld_Reekie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 They havent got a clue. I dont know whether they gave their colleagues up here far too much rope or respect, but I think they thought it was all fine. In fairness, they've never seen a campaign like this so probably thought it couldnt be done. There's probably all sorts of problems if Yes one. Next year's General Election being only one. They were warned though - I remember reading about it months and months ago that it's inconceivable that emergency legislation and powers will be needed to see us through negotiating period.

Still... it's still a big IF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Just realised, if it's Yes and they postpone the general election, Boris won't have a chance to become MP in time if they ditch Cameron... rUK could be delivered Scot-free to a conservative majority under Osborne?? Osborne's been quiet lately...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
