[QUOTE="ZeroTwo, post: 731401, member: 72695"] I worked for an oil firm in Aberdeen during it and we tried to publish results telling the public the impact of a yes/no vote. Most people were ill informed and made judgements on "w*****s in Westminster" or because "Braveheart is rubbish". I was working with an oil firm trying to educate the public about the possible impact that not being in the EU would have as well as the increase in money for Scotland. Honestly we got on our high horses about the public being engaged but all it was was a shouting match between largely uninformed sides. Sides who were largely uncivil to each other. When I worked a public event JUST PROVIDING STATISTICS in the Oil week (offshore conference) we were shouted at by both camps for believing we were assisting the other. I'm not saying ALL people in Scotland were uninformed angry idiots, but I'd say the majority were at least largely uneducated about the impact of the decision. (Apologising here and now for this slight tangent of a post. Not slamming us Scots in particular but the way that politics is presented is so unappealing that only extreme views are understandable as they only deal with fundamentals.) [/QUOTE]
