Presumably you are taking the piss, but I'll bite anyway
If you believe in democracy then it's up to the people.
YES or NO, I think politics will be different after Thursday.
No I am not taking the piss and yes I do believe in democracy.
In one of your posts you said the NO vote needs 60% to make this go away (for a while)
The YES vote needs 51% . Explain to me how that is democratic, why is it not a done deal if the NO vote gets 51%.
To be honest the way the whole voting process over this issue is being run and organised it is like something from a Banana Republic.
Lowering the voting age to 16, what was wrong with keeping it at 18, not all Scots are allowed to vote, requirement was you have to live in Scotland to qualify or maintain a home there. I can accept that to a certain extent, but what if you are working abroad for a few years and have every intention of returning to live tehere again.
If you are any other nationality and live in Scotland you get to vote(assume they will be on the electoral roll)
Why should some Polish or Romainian have a vote
