Originally posted by Old Greg View PostI think that is absolute nonsense (with the deepest respect of course). Quebec had a very close referendum in 1995, and hasn't had one since, because an acceptable constitutional settlement within Canada was found and support drained away. The same is likely to happen in the UK after a No, vote, not perhaps enough to satisfy everyone but enough to drain away some of the Yes support.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThe great think about being Salmond, is that if you're ahead in the polls, it means you're going to win, whereas if you're behind, you're delighted to be the underdog. Or maybe I'm being unfair and that's just politicians.
The Tories didn't parade Hague the night before the election in '97 as 'The next prime minister of the UK' when they knew they were about to get trounced.
Have you ever seen any politician turn to a camera and say "Oh, is that what the poll says ? That means I'm fucked'
Why would you expect Salmond to be any different ?When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Originally posted by minestrone View PostI think they are calling yesterday black Wednesday, it must have been bad for the nationalists. Their usual strategy is pretty much whack a mole, don't explain anything just talk down the person and message coming from the other side. I think the nos realised this and sent a flood of people into the debate yesterday, the nationalists just went into an uncontrolled frenzy and it came across really quite bad.
100 Labour MPs came north on the train, stood for 15 minutes on the steps whilst Grommet (or is it Wallace?) tried to shout over the Star Wars theme
They then all went for a pub lunch before catching the train back south again. Oh, and claimed it all on expenses which we all paid forComment

If you can't see that then you are completely blind to what is going on.Comment
