    Of course you can, there is a general election coming up and you can vote for those who wish to end the UK. And if you cannot wait that long, perhaps join a protest movement. There are lots of organizations who wish to see the end of the Union. Maybe joining IS is a way to go forward for you?
    Well actually it was a joke comment aimed at my good friend Richie from Wales , and my friend from Scotland vendettos , but thank you for stating the fucking obvious anyway.

    Miles you have seen democracy in action and are acting like a spoilt child because your cherry picking version of reality is so intolerant and dictatorial that you will not even contemplate the merits of a different point of view.
    Please refer to Manchester by it's correct title - the Monaco of the North.

    Can't help but feel that the No vote was a missed opportunity for progress on these British Isles. The promises of the three "leaders" in Westminster are disappearing quicker than a Dominos pizza at the office, and the cynic in me can't help feeling that Crooked Dai is feeling very pleased with himself right now. If he doesn't follow through on his promises of more powers....he might lose a whole MP from Scotland! He has no incentive to really try and push it through, and the other two don't have the numbers to send those powers north. The usual smoke and mirrors disappears to leave empty promises once again.

    Feeling very down and depressed today after last night's results, went to bed at four as it was clear which way it was going to go. I don't see any changes coming for the next General Election, just the usual bunch of posh boys voted in by scaremongering that the left would take away their rose and canapes budget by raising taxes. And even if Labour does get in again, which is unlikely with Miliband in charge, they're not even the left any more. The last Labour government was almost as bad for the working man as the Tories.

    Regardless the outcome, congrats to all you Scott's. An 85 percent turnout for votes is a great show of democracy. Also liked that the leader of the separation movement in your government stepped down saying he may not be the best choice at this time. The guy is admirable. All in all you guys get a big thumbs up from us here in the USA although I fear with the apparent views many hold here, a thumbs up from an American may be an evil act but I assure you in this case it is not.

    Well mate I hope Plaid never get in,! just a bunch of Welsh speaking Tories same outlook on privatising everything NHS included. I totally agree Labour have lost there working class values.
    But I am for democracy that's what the people of Scotland had, and they voted to stay in the Union
    this is not football or rugby, this is serous stuff Nationalism DON'T PAY THE BILLS.

    This moment in time Scotland gave a NO vote, who Knows in 10 years down the road they may have a chance, to vote again, but they have to take note of the 1 million plus yes voters.
    Hopefully more powers for Scotland and Wales, this may be the start of more regional government
    for all the UK, which I feel people would like.

    I very much hate the North but Manchester especially. I would down tools at a moments notice and go straight to war if it meant I didn't have to hear somebody moaning about how hard it is up there ever again.
