Not all of those 62 million Brits you mention are eligable to vote, it's more like 40 million. And of those 40 million, only 40% can actually be arsed to go and actually vote, the rest don't bother. So I wouldn't be singing the praises of the great British electorate too loudly if I were you.

firstly I wasnt talking to you I think hes big enough to speak for himself
secondly I didnt say all 62 million voted so you got that wrong again
some people dont vote because they dont feel any candidate is worthy , thats their democratic choice, who are you to judge them?
fourthly I didnt sing anyone praises
fifthly Im not allowed to speak my genuine opinions on you because youre in with the moderators and I get banned for opinions youre allowed to give

It's a forum. I don't have to be invited to speak. You were wrong on a few points so I pointed out the errors. You're still wrong on a few points.

While I accept that some people don't vote because they don't support any of the candidates, mostly it's apathy. Pointing that out isn't judging them. If they can't be bothered to vote they can hardly moan about what happens.

I think it's strange that Scotland needs PERMISSION to hold a vote on their own independence. It's a joke.

If Scotland really wanted to be independent, they wouldn't ask ENGLAND for permission to have a vote.

Scotland is not going to leave the UK. If they really wanted to leave the UK they wouldn't ask permission. You don't need to ask permission to be free. If you want to be free, then you declare yourself free, and you fight anyone who tries to stop you.

What's that got to do with the EU referendum

well if Scotland is Independent, they'd presumably have to have their own referendum on whether or not to join the EU, right?

I wonder since Cameron has promised both an In or Out vote for the EU and an IN or Out vote for Scotland, which one comes first?

[MTVN]

The Scottish referendum will be at the end of 2014, the EU one will be sometime after 2015 and even then only if the Conservatives have a majority government which is unlikely. Not sure what would happen with an independent Scotland and the EU, they'd probably have to go through a pretty lengthy process of applying and negotiating for membership, but the SNP are in favour of it

the scots economy has grown steadily for years, their education system is also considered one of the best , theyre second only to greater london in gdp per head....where the northern irish and welsh are way behind and the gap is growing. so clearly the scots are doing something right compared to these other Uk nations and regions. is it the fact they have more automony over their financial, legal and tax affairs?
