Allan if the Independence referendum was such a success for democracy care to tell us all why you have a former Scottish First Minister, who:

1: Promised to abide by the will of the electorate;
2: Stated that the referendum was "generational";
3: Left Westminster accepting the £65,000 package as payment for costs associated with returning to "normal" life as a member of the public;
4: Loses the Independence referendum;
5: Resigns as First Minister and Leader of the SNP.

THEN:
1: Ignores the declared wishes of the electorate by;
2: Chattering on about another referendum within the term of the next Parliament and encourages his successor to add weight to that plan
3: Promptly announces that no-longer being the Leader of the SNP, or First Minister in the Scottish Parliament, he will now stand for election to Westminster - where he is there to serve whose interests exactly? His party's, his constituents?

Statements by Alex Salmond:

"If you don't want me running England better vote Tory"

"I'll bring down the Tories and install Milliband"

"I will help write Ed Balls' first Budget"

Statements by Sturgeon:

"SNP: We have the right to dictate policy for all Britain"

Rather amused by this:

"As to the figures sorry but you can't count people who didn't vote as being on one side of the argument or the other." - Allan Conn

Don't be ridiculous of course you can - had they wanted to vote for independence then they, the world, it's dog and it's uncle, knew they would have to cast a vote - fact is they didn't - other unalterable fact is that only 37.8% of the electorate of Scotland voted for independence - the rest didn't.
