Was the Scotland vote rigged?

[Unix]

Was there a 100% turnout then, or are you just a bit thick?

False dichotomy.

Would that interesting rule have been applied had the No vote won?

Right so you saying that for the Yes vote to win you would require it to gain 60% of the vote ?

This is a cracking article:

Scottish referendum vote-rigging claims spark calls for recount | Politics | The Guardian

My favourite excerpt:

“If there is even the slightest bit of doubt about vote rigging I want it to be fully investigated,” wrote Catriona Zappert from Glasgow of her reasons for signing the change.org petition. “I can’t believe the yes vote was so low, please recount and confirm the results are accurate or I cannot rest.”

5 point swing in it, hardly a decisive win.

Of 32 areas, 4 voted YES. Pretty emphatic.

And it was only a 5 point swing because he twisted the voting to allow children to vote. What were the results if we exclude them (real question, is this data available)?

Areas are irrelevant in a simple majority. It's about the totals, if we exclude them then we can exclude OAPs who might be senile.

Then stop banging on about how "Scotland's biggest city voted YES" as if that's reelvant, you hypocrite.

No, because OAPs weren't deliberately given the vote in order to try and force a YES vote, they are allowed to vote in local and national elections already.

Still waiting on that data break-down. What % of the total turnout were <18, and how did they vote?
