Scottish Independence

[GannonFan]

Don't know if this has been covered yet, but there are at least a hundred companies headquartered in Scotland who have threatened or promised to leave if they vote for independence. Gotta think that will scare a lot of people into voting 'no'.

I've heard of a few banks relocating but that's about it. I'd bet BAE Systems would have to do some thinking as I think they build ships for the UK in Scotland.

I know RBS would have to relocate just to stay legal with EU banking laws, but that would be it as fas as I know of who would have to move. If Scotland manages a currency union with the UK, like the SNP wants to, that would probably mute any need to move. And even if they don't, they could peg whatever currency they come up with the to pound and again, lessen the need to move.

You're a fag...you like queens. This is no surprise.

But, for someone who rails against entrenched power and wealth, you surely must see the ridiculousness of your position, but you'll keep spouting it with pride anyway.

Then again, you list a child molester as one of your heroes, so we know where you really stand on power and relationships.

Get it done today Scotland.

Any exit polls from Glasgow?

Any exit polls from Glasgow?

I read yesterday that there won't be any exit polls. Some numbers should roll out starting around 8:00 pm EC(b).

When results start coming in, you can see them at http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/ ... 92042.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


My aunts, uncles, cousins in Midlothian all voted "Yes" which makes sense given the history our family has with the English. Re: Border Raiders.

There are broadcasting rules in the UK that prevent broadcasters from reporting on certain things the day of an election. Wouldn't mind if they did something like that here to be honest:

So, on polling day specifically, the BBC (like other broadcasters, though they are covered by the Ofcom code rather than a charter) doesn't report on the campaigns or the issues which have been debated in them.

Coverage is limited to uncontroversial factual accounts of things like the logistics of voting, how the count will be done, or just the weather, so the BBC's output can't be seen as influencing the ballot while the polls are open.
