55% No to 45% Yes.... That's a defeat for an Independent Scotland-- for now.
It occurred to me, as I heard about this on the radio in the van this morning, that next time out just maybe the "Yes" people might smarten up a bit. Imagine what the outcome might have been if they could have voiced an actual plan about what an Independent Scotland would look like, and how, pray tell, they planned to make that happen. As it is they sounded more than a little like the "Occupy" protesters we have here. As many different ideas as there are people to voice them, and no clear idea about what tomorrow would look like if they won.
You know, here in the 1860s we had a bloody war between the North and the South. The Southern states lost the war, but, if they had won they at least had some idea about how to make their government work, what they would use for money, how they would put together an army and navy and so on. The CSA did at least have a working government during their short and rather stormy existence. I don't recall the SNP putting forth any sort of actual plan for the next day if they won independence. They were just sort of hoping it would all sort out somehow.
