Immigrants ensured no vote

I agree that only citizens of a country should vote in elections affecting that country but then any European Union or Commonwealth citizens resident in the UK can vote in UK elections and I daresay it would be racist to object to that.

And why are Scottish or Welsh nationalists ok but any English nationalist sentiment always gets smeared as "far right"?

This EU citizen canny vote in German elections. Door swings only one way it seems.

English nationalism is far right, you don't get racism or UKIP'ism in Scottish nationalism, it's more liberal if anything.

Scottish/Welsh = civic nationalism, English = ethnic nationalism.

Oh well, I suppose calling the shots at Westminster will have to do.

With two almost unelectable main party leaders and the imminent demise of the LibDems, that would seem like a likely outcome, if one were inclined to gamble.

You lost, get over it.

We're over it.

So in your next referendum just limit the vote to :

Anyone with a BMI > 130

Then we can be assured of removing the Northern leper colony from the Union

FTFY

The franchise was based on residency, not place of birth. Scots not resident in Scotland couldn't vote at all.

More Scottish drivel

Don't be mean to him - I'm sure today's his birthday.

16 - 49 year old non house owning catholic males born in Scotland

Heard that on radio Scotland the other day.

At the very least it reassures me with the belief I always had, from friends and family, that the majority of Scots were united during the referendum. I hope that spirit remains and they never give up hope.

Independence referendum figures revealed: Majority of Scots born here voted YES while voters from elsewhere in UK said NO - Daily Record

Next one should be natives only

Wondering why there were loads of English moving to Scotland just before the referendum
