It's quite something the younger economically active part of the population wanted something different from those that sit around all day.

I think you will find that a great many of the YES campaign workers were recruited from amongst the INactive part of the population that usually sit around all day.
Only for the last few weeks/months they have been having a ball defacing NO posters and intimidating anyone wearing anything but a YES badge/t-shirt.
I suppose it kept them off the Buckie and weed for a while anyway. So there will probably be some long term health benefits there.
The NO voters were conspicuous by their absence on the streets this morning while many of the great unwashed were there greetin' intae their porridge.
Nothing to do with the NOs avoiding the risk of confrontation, they were all just probably at work. Vive la difference!

Interesting, old people worried about their pensions that swung it.

So 14% of SNP voters (2011) switched sides? Isn't that quite substantial given they were the majority?

That depends if they're SNP voters because they wanted independence, or because they just thought SNP would be better running the place.

This was the crux of the matter, plan A should have been a Scottish pound backed by a Bank of Scotland with all the details laid out. This would have removed any questions.

Told you so.

People are often more lefty and radical when they are not the ones who actually have to pay for it. Believe it or not, even I once did leafleting and stuff for the local Labour party. Then I started earning a reasonable living and paying taxes.

Thank you Winston. It might be nice if you attribute your quotes. Then lesser mortals than myself may be educated.

Not at all. the older people have already worked and paid their dues, investing in their country. The young people have less to lose.

Hardly worth creating a category for such a tiny fringe grouping though, shirley?

Stick around son, you might learn something.
