[QUOTE="YoungScud, post: 731419, member: 72423"] There you go then. The electorate are all idiots and politicians know what's best for us. You're a mainstream politician's dream. Let's just sit back and let them run our lives for us. Zero Two, while you might have been in Scotland for a short while during the campaign, I sense that you didn't live here during the eighteen months or so on the run-up to it. having spent your time in a small corenr of the country (where the only game in town is oil), you clearly didn't get out and about on doorsteps listening to people. If you had, I'm pretty sure you would have seen things a little differently. I had the whole experience, ranging from nut jobs (on both sides, although Bitter Together were willing to go a bit further with the downright lies) to highly intelligent arguments, and deeply held sentiments, all of which have a place in politics. Politics is not some distant activity which we can just sit back and ignore. When a nation so consistently expresses preferences which are roundly ignored, eventually someting will give. It might amaze you how many of those on the Yes side are immigrants from England, Wales, Ireland and points further afield. These people often arrived here with a view to living in the UK and ended up wanting to live in an independent Scotland. To dismiss their views and those of others as uneducated misses the point.
