If it's a draw, do 'away' votes count double?

I think when it comes to the crunch a lot of undecided people will stick with what they know by voting no, I think even those saying they'll vote yes will end up voting no.
As has been said polls can be misleading ie in 92 election.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

To be honest, while I think the no vote will win the day, I do not think the presence in Scotland of Messrs Cameron, Miliband and Clegg will have helped their cause.

at the very least, scare the establishment shitless with a potential "yes" vote so that they give a load of concessions away.

absolutely, they are even bigger idiots than i thought they were, though i suppose they'd say they "had to do it". they should have had a well liked scottish businessman promoting the campaign rather than a politician.

It's actually Yes 42%, No 48% and Undecided 10%.

The pollsters are giving the Yes and No sides 5% each of the Undecideds, but I reckon they can give all 10% to the No campaign. Let's face it, if you're undecided with a week to go, you're not going to be voting for a huge, irreversible gamble on polling day. I expect the final result to be around 57-43.

Standard life,Lloyds and looks like RBS will move there HQ to London in case of a yes vote with more expected to follow suit.

That is the way I see it as well, if they are undecided now after all the campaigning then they are not going to vote for the unknown option come voting day, plus there will be plenty voting no who wont admit it now, in the 80's no Scot would admit to voting for Maggie Thatcher but come the day after the election there were conservative MP 's elected in Scotland.

But that is ignoring the important questions if Scotland does go it alone

As said earlier what will happen to poor Berwick?
What will happen to the Open who owns it Scotland or England?
Will that mean that once again no Briton will have won Wimbledon since Fred Perry?
And how will they fit British and Irish and Scottish Lions onto one badge?

Hmm, I think that it would have carried a lot more weight if the foreign bankers, the multinationals, the local businesses would have come into the debate to say, "Well if you guys vote 'Yes', we will move our business to Ireland/England/Wales and we employ 27,000 at the moment, or, we contribute £3.4 million to the Scottish economy each year with plans to double this in the next 4 years. This will be taken out of the Scottish economy and will in future benefit...."

A large full page ad in The Times, Telegraph, Guardian and several pages in the redtops, that list all the companies looking to leave, the total job losses and the total lost revenue... I think that would as JD and others have stated, have a greater impact than a fucking politician wasting time spouting hyperbole on the tv.

I mean just who believes a politician??
Anyone who believes one, deserves all they get.

I would be delighted with this, we need a big margin.

In answer to Lyca, it has been like that down here, no voters having windows panned in, attacks on No voters. Both sides have been guilty, however the yes side have been particularly vicious, they are attacking any no voter.

 

[Lycan]

I haven't encountered anything like that. Just relentless bullshit from all quarters once you admit to voting No.

A large purple penis has been spray painted over the Yes billboard outside the train station in Stirling with "Sturgeon loves the boaby" written underneath it. Made my day when I saw that on the way to work.

 

[Langers]

Glasgow isn't exaggerating something about Scotland, is he? #shocked

Lycan, did you see Jim Murphy? you tube him.

Of course it will be a 'No', on the day. However, this will pave the way for greater autonomy in the regions if the UK. London is too remote (geographically, economically and attitudinally) from much if the populace and this is so extreme that something must be done about it. We are 'better together' but with massive devolution for our regions. The Germans have a far better system and we should look at that as a viable model. Living in the past is not an option and jingoistic Nationalism should be consigned to the dustbin. Long live the UK!

You could rewrite all of that and replace UK with EU and apply it the little engladers desperate to leave the EU

You're going to get a lot of very dim people voting in this thing next week aren't we?
A woman on the radio last night was asked, "Tell me why you're voting 'Yes'".
"Because ah'm Scorttish!"
"But what are the reasons that are making you vote 'Yes'?
"I told ye, I'm Scort-tish!"

Jesus!

While the SNP profess to love the world they play the race card very well with regards to England.
