DMcG....what you say could well be true, but if we are to have a "democratic" voting system that is always a possibility.
The alternative would be perhaps a sixty/forty vote in favour of the status quo, but just think of the problems that would cause.

The whole issue could have been solved to your satisfaction, had Cameron allowed Devo-Max on the ballot paper, a good majority could well have accepted that, but only when it became clear that he could lose the YES/NO vote, did he bring forward the promise of increased powers as a bribe.

I vote in the 1970s referendum, and the same promises and divisive language(ripping Scotland out of the UK etc), were used.

The country voted NO and nothing materialised in the way of new powers, what we did get was eighteen years of Mrs Thatcher and plenty of unemployment.

Don't believe the lies of "Team Westminster", if we vote NO we will be punished, if we vote AYE we can hold our heads high.

Isn't it lovely to have ones own personal stalker.....:0)
