And the winner is.... Nigel Farage.
Not if the 85% of the electorate get off their arse and vote.
The one massive positive out of the whole campaign is that a large mass of people who had never bothered voting suddenly woke up and voted. There were two lassies in their 30s in front of me who had clearly never been in a voting station in their life and they decided to vote. People are actually disappointed that "only" 75% of voters turned out in Glasgow. Disappointed !!!
If the Uk general elections see anywhere close to an 85% turnout then there is no danger that UKIP will get in in any numbers. We all have the power.

The alternative is that only the people that REALLY care vote and i'm not sure they are the best people to decide either

It's wonderful that 85% of people voted. I am deeply ashamed at our 60-65% turnout, but that's not what I meant.
I don't expect Nige to get in... but you watch how much air time is taken up with his English independence rhetoric now.

Commiserations Scott. If it's any consolation I thought your campaign on VX220.org.uk was much better than the official yes and no campaigns.

I heard a news report earlier on, a 16 year old was being interviewed on why they voted yes.
Their response:
"Well, I just went on instinct really, it felt right to say yes."
So, let me get this straight, they were seriously going to put the future of their country in the hands of their 'instinct'? Absolutely ridiculous. At least if you were going to vote yes, do it in an educated and informed manner.

Instinct = Facebook bandwagoning
I'll give it another 3 years before we do all this again in one form or another
