72% of Manchester Evening News readers vote in a poll to join Scotland. They don't want Westminster tory rule either!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
what about those people who did not vote in Scotland whose side were they on the yes or the or the no
Another made up non fact.
One day you'll grasp 55% said No because we didn't want independence.
I could easily throw some non sensical remark about Yes voters but it would be based on my personal opinion.
Mind does make me realise why Nicola Sturgeon wants to be a shepherdess !
Meeeehhh Meeehhh

And the yes campaign was a clear failureThe only good that came out of it was the stepping down of the fat man.
I'm wondering how you ascertained your information did you use a crystal ball mebbe, pixie dust ?
As you voted Yes and where rather vociferous in your support of the yes campaign I'm sure the quiet logical thought process that went along with voting No is totally lost on you,maybe you should rejoin your flock and let the shepherdess do the thinking for you .
And reading their comments in the Manchester Evening News the majority were obviously having a laugh.
We would be crazy to create a new state with the north of England. Their GDP per capita is much lower than ours which means we would be subsidising their benefits programme from day one. In particular we should avoid the north east. Better would be a confederacy with south east England. Their GDP per capita is similar to ours and our outlooks are similar.
I visited Manchester recently to speak about Women's politics in Scotland pre and post referendum. I had a great time. I was there for a few days and I spoke to loads of people, not just "political"people either. What I found was that most people were aware of the political change in Scotland. They were watching to see what's happening here and they felt hopeful that Scotland would offer an example of how something different is possible. I was asked sooooo many questions.
I think this poll is a reflection of that. I don't for a minute think that the people in Manchester want to be part of Scotland but more that they want a part of what Scotland has seen happen, bigger turnouts for elections, a politically engaged and informed electorate, a real discussion of different options, alternative policies and a strong left of centre voice. That's a good thing.
