Scotland Vote

Polls closed in Scotland a 4pm CST today for their vote on independence. It is estimated that 97% of eligible voters turned out. Amazing!!!

I don't think letting 16 year-olds vote was a good idea.

It will be interesting to see the full analysis of this vote.

Looking at a map the rural areas of Scotland were against splitting up. There did not seem to be any difference between Highland and Lowland rural areas of Scotland in the vote.

Urban areas in and around Glasgow were for the split up, However Edinburgh was against it.

Scotland splitting up with the UK is mostly a romantic notion, but would have been an economic disaster for the Scots.

The loss of UK government revenue coming into Scotland could not be easily covered by other sources.

I have/had no vote of course, but I'm glad they're staying together.
