To ask how Scottish Indyref1 NO voters are feeling about it today?

[StatisticallyChallenged]

I was just chatting with DH about the possibility of a second Indyref whilst watching the news and I wondered how those who voted no in 2014 are feeling now?

Cards on the table, for those who weren't on the Indyref threads, I was a strong no voter and campaigner last time. I work in financial services (have changed company since) and I had huge concerns about the impact on the economy of a No vote - all the issues around currency etc. I also found a lot of the campaign arguments very unconvincing and like we were being promised the moon which could never materialise.

I still feel that way about the last referendum. But I have to admit that watching the news today, seeing people proudly declaring they voted out because of immigrants...this isn't a country which currently reflects me. I still have massive concerns about the economy although it's a lot less clear cut given the likely turmoil over the next few years.

I'm well aware that an independent Scotland may have huge issues getting in to the EU btw, it's not so much about the EU membership but about feeling a bit less affinity with being 'British' today.

You are officially nuts!

Here's another ditty from your favourite band ...

Cheers fonty!!

A very emotional Annie Wells

Oh my God. .

I don't blame her tbh...

My heart is broken this just sprang in to my head don't know why.

"While I'm worth, my room on this earth.. I will be with you"

That says it all really. My feelings towards all 4 nations in the union. I am so so sad.

Nicola is not providing hope. She is ripping the heart out of Scotland and me included.

We can have both, but she wants to cast it all away.

And as for that roseanna cunningham the other day when they suspended parliment. Pointing her finger at the Tory benches and accusing them of a conspiracy against scotland and just not wanting to talk about independence... she may as well have kicked everyone who loves this country straight in the gut.

Speaks volumes imho..

Like their favourite poet said.

"London is burning and I don't care"-Hugh mcDairmid-During the blitz.

I love Scotland. I love it with all my heart that is why I want to be in the union.

I wish I could blame my ramblings on cider today, but I'm afraid I am sober... just completely devastated.

I am often accused of right wingyness so just popping this VERY left wing gaurdian article in which might help people. More information on Arthur Donaldson and SNP origins is available on the likes of Wikipedia for anyone interested.

The guardian is def not right wing.

And as for that roseanna cunningham the other day when they suspended parliment. Pointing her finger at the Tory benches and accusing them of a conspiracy against scotland and just not wanting to talk about independence

Her behaviour was appalling.

There is a certain type of nationalist which loves getting worked up by anything which they can twist as a slight on Scotland and using it to propose up their ridiculous idea that Scotland is the perpetually oppressed victim.

I echo the sentiment that it was a kick in the guts to everyone who loves this country.

Lass you've been on here quite a bit. Do you think the greens will be proud to vote to help the SNP get their referendum.

Roseanna behaviour would have been a gentle reminder of who they are climbing in to bed with.

The referendum (autocorrect sorry)

Oh and to answer the OP. I was a no. I am now a no because yes is just silly.

Guys have you seen how many hits that Neil Findlay video has got?

It's now up over 70,000!

Some of the comments are interesting as well ...

I shared that video. I was shocked at how she reacted to it. I suppose there was not much she can say when she is happy to completely ignore democracy as and when it suits her.

Have you seen that they immediately ripped in to him with accusations of sexism...

That's what happens when you question the SNP.

You know what is more irritating than sexism? People squealing sexism when none exists.

That was a brilliant point made by Neil Findlay.She was furious and couldn't answer any part of it.

Exactly.

Who knows. The elephant in the cartoon could have been a guy for all I know.

They just didn't like him making a wee joke about her nonchalant abuse of democracy.

DO NOT MESS WITH A SCOTS GUARDSMAN ...

That is funny

Scotland can champion a more open and participative law-making process: Citizens as legislators. Citizens should be able to play a direct role in the legislative process: on presenting a petition signed by an appropriate number of voters, citizens should be able to trigger a vote on important issues of devolved responsibility. As we proposed on the one year anniversary of the Independence Referendum, this is the Scottish Greens’ preferred way of deciding to hold a second referendum on Independence. If a new referendum is to happen, it should come about by the will of the people, and not be driven by calculations of party political advantage. In such a referendum the Scottish Greens will campaign for independence.

This was the greens manifesto pledge. They are totally going back on what they said.

And they are ignoring the fact that hundereds of thousands of scots signed a petition to prevent another referendum.

How many signatures is it at now?
