If Scotland votes yes, should Cameron resign ?

[Dandyman]

No, none of the jocks vote for the Tory' anyway so in a way he has been extremely clever and made sure his party will always rule the remainder of the UK , as labour would have lost their strongholds in Scotland

Of all the elections since 1945 removing votes cast in Scotland would only have changed the result in 1964 and one of the 1974 elections.

Where's the 'lol no, stop being ridiculous' option?

 

[Trust in Tony]

The fact that Gordon Brown is now seen as the last hope now shows that the no camp are really in the last chance salon.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Isn't it your lot, the ones that the Scots supposedly like, that have been doing that?

Yet another Labour failure in the making it seems.

Exactly, Scotland is hardly a Tory stronghold, the real let downs as usual are Labour.

Another epic failure by Milliband, it was probably bringing Brown out that didn't help, reminded everyone of the mess the country was in when he led it.

 

[Chicken Run]

How the hell has HE 'screwed' it up ? You seem to conveniently forget that this is democracy at work.

Save your oxygen WS, he's nothing but a deluded bench flower, inept in every argument and fail safe to be predictable, a non entity if you will in life, salivating at every twist and turn that doesn't conform to his weird polarisation of how life should be....

We have gone from a situation where No was miles ahead in any opinion poll to one where the two camps are neck and neck with yes making the running.

No Vote currently shitting themselves. There's now a very real possibility that they'll be left in charge of a country of chavs and spivs, both draining all they can out of the country, and a whole new set of drainees amassing at Calais. Good luck luck to all the decent people left to pay for it all.

The only poll that counts is next week.

Do you seriously think that a PM that screwed up a vote that a year ago most people thought was a certain no vote has any real credibility as a leader ?

isnt a Yes win a victory for Salmond? i find it interesting that it should be such emphasis on a loss for the No, rather than a victory for the Yes. I really think the blame should lie with Salmond and his party, they have done all the work of convincing Scottish people they can have it all.

That's actually bollocks isn't it?

The Guardian article you are paraphrasing there included that in the very last election the Tories would have achieved a majority and there wouldn't have been the need to form a coalition. Isn't that a different result?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I am delighted that my politics are clear.

His mistakes were in the wording of the question, and allowing 16 and 17 year olds to vote.

The rest of the mistakes are down to Darling, Alexander, Milliband and the rest of the Better Together campaign.

A shambles from start to finish.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'm talking about the Tories, they were the biggest party in Scotland and then got wiped out in 97 with the likes of Rifkind etc losing their seats and they've never looked like getting back ever since

Sorry ENREST that's just not true, for as far back as you care to mention, assuming you are talking about number of votes.

Ah, the Guardian, that well known middle of the road, independent thinking paper.

 

[Soulman]

Milliband must be quaking. Yes vote would make it harder for labour to achieve power,what with all their Scottish MPs in parliament. So if anyone is going to be weaker it will be milliband.

I can't see how Milliband can get or look much weaker. He's certainly done wonders to stop the Yes vote

Incorrect.

The Tories would have won an outright majority at the last election without the Scottish MPs.

I stand corrected, they would have had a mighty 4 seat majority after 13 years of a different party in power.

and the other 1974 election, and 2010 (19 maj., not 4), and given Major a strong 70 seat majority vs weak 21. with 18 elections, 27% have been materially changed by the Scottish vote.

Your sneering would work better if you could do basic maths. Have another go.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Clearly Miliband should resign.

The ineptitude of Darling and Brown are far more responsibe than the one MP Conservative Party in Scotland .

 

[cornish seagull]

100% agree. You so sound like a 'grumpy old man' lol as I am!

 

[wellquickwoody]

Shouldn't the No campaign just play a little brinkmanship? The head of the Bank of England has said that currency sharing is not really an option, which really will screw the Sweaties.

Rather than offer platitudes in the case of a No vote (more devolution, tax raising powers etc) perhaps we should be saying take it or leave it?

Pure mathematics, without political spin, says that Scotland's public finances will be worse off, those of England and Wales will be better off. Take your choice Scotland.
