Thread:Comments:Scotland says 'No' in independence referendum/Scotland/reply

45% for yes, with an 85% turnout. Achieved in the face of all the UK's mainstream press neglecting to tell the Electoral Commission they were on the side of No?

Within 12 hours of the results, the UK Prime Minister was 'disassociating' himself from the promises &mdash; made illegally, under purdah &mdash; it isn't that the people have spoken, it's that they've woken up. Real Democracy is when you get off your arse and vote, when you educate yourself about the issues, and don't treat filling in a ballot paper like a game of 'pin the tail on the donkey'.
