Prediction for Scotland Vote

Looking at the campaign overall, WfaAR predicts for NO at around 55 percent to around 45 percent YES, the same result as the 1999 republic referendum result in Australia.The economic and defence aspects of this decision, the need to be bigger rather than smaller in the desire for stability; the proximity of England sharing a frequently crossed common land border (even Hadrian’s Wall didn’t work); the success of integration ethnically, culturally, economically and, most importantly, linguistically by the dominant English over 307 years and, finally, the Don’t Knows voting NO tip the balance. Changes like this require a huge leap of faith in the future not business plans spelled out down to the last detail. Politicians who have trained current generation voters to respond with their hip pocket nerve do them and the future a huge disservice. Bad luck for the Oz flag but we’re still working on it!
