So that's that then, or do you keep having a vote on something until you get the result you want?
Maybe it's like having rumpy pumpy with the missus, you keep asking until finally she says Yes.........

If that was the case, Scotland would never have independence!Maybe it's like having rumpy pumpy with the missus, you keep asking until finally she says Yes.........
Yes of course, its only the Scots who dare raise their voices - or perhaps it's just another case of selective deafness.
Nope, none whatsoever - I'm married to one.
Now you are being stupid or should I say Scottish!
in reality the Welsh and NI governments are more constructive.........
I realise all you are doing now is trying to keep a thread that peaked a good while back alive with such comments, try not prolong the agony to long.

A note to whoever decided to delete one of my recent posts.
I gave the same answer to two different questions, this wasn't an accidental duplication.
That would be me being a Member of staff, My name is clearly visible on the Deletion.
You repeated word for word the same reply, next time maybe use the multi qoute function.
It's clear by now that those who follow an emotional rationale are neither fact based nor do they have a broad view. They are blinkered and myopic.
Rather than bring out more numbers, I think it might be illuminating to hear from an outsider. Someone with clear views who is neither English or Scottish.
Let's hear what Sir Bob Geldof has to say...
Geldof believes separation goes against the grain of the age we live in.
He said: “The logic of the 21st century and immediate future is towards co-operation, consensus and compromise, as opposed to the past and the murderous 20th century which was defined by competition. Why retreat into the past? Why regress to an imagined national idyll? It won’t happen.
“What interest does the world have in Scotland or England unilaterally? The nation state is dead. The 21st century is about interdependence.”
Geldof understands national pride , but has a warning when politicians start using it for their own ends.
He said: “It’s a very healthy sense to understand who you are as a people and your place in this world. That’s a normal human instinct. We have a word for it – it’s called patriotism. But when it’s manipulated into the base metal of politics, which is nationalism – when political people on both sides of the argument do that – you have to be very wary. You really must think through these things.
“Nationalism is a very dangerous political animal. I know this – I’m Irish. It’s a cheap political trick which twists the understanding of who we are.
“I completely understand the emotional impulse towards independence. But always consider independence in inverted commas because what the f*** does it mean?
“We are entirely dependent on one another. None of us, in our private lives or our political constructs, are ever independent.
“We are all sovereign unto ourselves but we’re dependent on one another"
He is aware there are people with Irish roots thinking of voting Yes in the belief it might help lead to a United Ireland. But he urges them to reconsider.
He said: “There’s going to be an independent Scotland and a united Ireland and it will all be great?
“What will be great about it? Please explain that to me. Do you have any less pride in being Scottish or Irish than you will have next week? Seriously?
“It’s the manipulation of that pride and spurious arguments like that which drives me nuts.”
Geldof admires Alex Salmond as one of the most talented politicians in the country, but dislikes his sloganising.
He said, ‘Our time is now’ – what the f*** does that mean? The time is any time.”
And Geldof believes the best future for Scotland, in the modern world, is to remain in the UK.
He said: “It’s only together, with a single shared sense of purpose, that we get to do things in the 21st century. There’s plenty to be done. Let’s get on and do it together."
