Still Yes? Still No?

[AgentProvocateur]

Almost a year after the referendum, I'm wondering if anyone regrets how they voted.

In the interests of transparency, I was a Yes voter, and would vote Yes again.

dithery I feel quite fed up sometimes too. I no longer feel this (Central Scotland) is a stable home for life so I'm now quietly at odds with my immediate family who want to stay.

Always a 'no'

No and still no.

No and still NO. I don't know anyone who regrets voting No.

Yes, and still yes. DH felt disheartened immediately after the referendum, but is now an even stronger 'Yes'.

voluptua I'm a banker (well, that's the simplest way of putting it, don't want to out myself even though I hardly post) and I agree, unscrupulous bankers are not being held to account. I have never taken a ridiculous bonus, and never would, especially with the economy as it is at the moment.

No then and no now.

No then????Still no????Wondering when NS will start to sort out the mess she IS responsible for (Education, Police etc) rather than demanding responsibility for more policy areas.????Also, did not vote No because of "the pledge" and not keen on being told I was somehow bribed.

Not sure why the ??? ????I didn't put them in. App tester so will scoot over and report that.

No then
No now

Yes then and yes now.

Wasn't very inspired by the Vow to change my mind, and everything seems to have gotten much worse since the No vote.

No and no

everything seems to have gotten much worse since the No vote.

Like what?

This ^^

no the last time and absolutely no this time.

NC just spouts nonsense - I don't see that she is interested in fixing things here - she just wants to keep bashing other parties and blaming everyone else for the failing they have in NHS Scotland, Education and Scottish police and fire service.

don't like SNP policies - they are becoming too controlling and they want less transparency in govt. less transparency is never a good thing.

I would agree with doing away with holyrood - we definitely don't need it even though god knows we paid way over the odds for it.

Yy peggy

Less Transparency is a HUGE thing with the SNP. Very worrying.

And I'd like NS to focus on Education, NHS and PoliceScotland, before she has time to pose in Vogue, gad off to China/America, complain again about 'BBC bias'

No, but had thought I would probably be a yes in the future, once I'd seen more of a full SNP scottish government and how they got on. However, I am really, really pissed off that "once in a generation" is now "woo hoo, let's do it now". What else will they admit to having planned all along change their minds on? This alone keeps me in the no camp.

No then and no now.

Reluctant no then. Reluctant no now. Until economy is convincing I will always be a no.

Publicly tentative (privately quite strong) Yes, as all friends and family apparently strong No's - now super firm and active Yes and have discovered a few waverers in that group who would now vote YES, hurrah

No and still no.

HirplesWithHaggis I must have missed the bit where Mark Carney supported an independent Scotland using the Pound Sterling? The last comment I saw from him was "a currency union is incompatible with sovereignty" - meaning Scotland could use the Pound informally but it wouldn't be tied to the Bank of England.

Carney had "contingency plans" for Scots to continue using Sterling had we said Yes; and yes, that would have been incompatible with sovereignty. So, we need to have a look at new currency options before trying again.

Wellfired - that is rather how I feel. Compounded by the fact that DP is a firm yes. I can't see us leaving at the moment because of DP's work but if something changed on that front I would be very happy to relocate.

I was a definite no, and even more definitely a no given the behaviour of the yes contingent in the aftermath of the referendum.

We too are feeling that Scotland is no longer a nice place to live, DH in particular is really keen to move, and with the changes to education and the narrowing focus on Scotland in the curriculum, I'm feeling I want to have my kids educated elsewhere.

HirplesWithHaggis Carney's contingency plans were to protect rUK from potential financial instability caused by a run on Scottish banks in the event of a Yes vote, as investors were being widely forecast to remove their cash from Scotland. The Treasury were very firmly against any kind of currency union in the event of Scottish independence.

So you're right, SNP would need to be much more transparent with monetary plans and the option of a new currency before trying again.
