Dillinger Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If Dundee votes "No" on the 18th, I'll refuse to recognise the results of the referendum... It wasnt just Dundee though, had folk commenting from all over Scotland. Very encouraging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I was thinking though - there will be folk legitimately votign with postal votes this next few weeks, who will die, and their vote still count I think we could forgive them for that.

Damo Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Bet Fred now have a yes vote at 11/4. Is this the lowest odds on a yes vote there has been yet? Edited August 31, 2014 by Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It wasnt just Dundee though, had folk commenting from all over Scotland. Very encouraging! Definitely encouraging.

brant grebner Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It'll end up being 100% no then... 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.

Bristolhibby Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Eh, how is an abstention counted as a No? I've heard it a few times in here. Surely somebody's wrong. If Scotland's population is 5m, yes dosent need 2.5m and 1 to win. We just need one more yes vote than no votes. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes its true if you don't vote its counted as a no vote. True Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) John McGylnn reported on Twitter a couple of day ago that the YouGov showed yes at 55%.

If Scotland's population is 5m, yes dosent need 2.5m and 1 to win. We just need one more yes vote than no votes. J 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.
