Just one example. A friend has told me of a neighbour of hers, who's a member of the Orange Order who was all for voting NO, but he has had enough of it. The Union Flag and NO stickers that were in his window, have been taken down and replaced with the Saltire and vote YES ones.


Yes, my brother has changed from a No to a Yes too because of Better Together and their "relentless negatvity and condescending pish".


My brother is paying me a visit today and i'm going to have words with him. I'm going to ask him how he can still vote NO after all the stuff that's been said about us.

If he is a Socialist let him know that the only way to guarantee social change in Scotland is to vote YES. A NO vote will give us £25million in austerity cuts, changes to the block grant which will have an impact on our NHS and a Tory/UKIP coalition which will take any extra powers we get back off us.

Do your best. :thumbsup:

He's a member of the Labour Party and pals with Douglas Alexander. There's been no reasoning with him so far, but i'm going to have one last try anyway.

We'll probably end up arguing.

Will there be any ramifications for Scotland should the vote turn out to be No or will things stay the way they are ?

Good question, Holly. Whatever the outcome, for matters to have come this far I can't envisage things staying the same in the event of a 'No' vote. I think it might have been Claire who posted that, irrespective of the result, this referendum will probably alter the course Anglo/Scot policies and interaction for ever.

Nope he's not for budging, he's firmly in the NO camp.

Oh and he needs to learn you can discuss things, without calling Alex Salmond every name under the sun. :roll:

Is that Poster I put up here, where it asks if Scotland were already an Independant Nation, would you cede all powers to Westminster, only to receive a pittance re oil revenues, whisky sales, be over ruled in all you vote for, etc.? Be a good one for him to read Vicky.

All police leave has been cancelled in Scotland ahead of Thursday's vote. Incase of disorder at the polling stations and potential rioting on Friday. :roll:
