| kowenicki said: It probably will. I suppose you think its democratic that due to 1.6m people (2% or so of the populaton) the way the UK should be governed should now go through a big change, shouldnt they ask the other 62m first? I'm pretty tired of pandering to minority interests to be honest. I hate Salmond for this and, dont get me wrong, I think the Westminster politicians and are weak for essentially caving in. I would have allowed the Scots to leave if thats what they wanted. The No campaign should have been just that... "stay or leave" not a plea with treats and promises to appease people who dont want to be part of the UK. So now, due to this appeasement, we will have another layer of government all over the UK at huge cost of time and money (yippee) and all it really does is create jobs for the boys... politicians. We have too much government already, another layer really isnt that interesting or productive. |
That's the point, as 5.3 million collectively, there are issues that Scotland feels quite differently to the rest of the UK on, that we just get swept away with what everybody else votes.
I for one truly hope this DOES lead to a change in politics nation-wide. I think it's critical for people outside of London to have more ground-level representation. Absolutely. And I'm happy that this referendum and the West Lothian Question are making people demand changes to the way they're governed. The power belongs to the people, and they're waking up to realise just how much they could/should have.
Westminster politics is shite. Archaic, elitist playground as I've said before.
