Indy supporters just got on with their lives. There was no trouble, no violence (only from some unionists).<br /><br />Some unionists may campaign for re-joining the union, and would be free to do so. The only difference would be however, is that this decision would not be Scotland's alone, but that of England and Wales (N. Ireland will have reunified) too.

Unable to justify itself at all now, it has thrown in the towel ('No Section 30'), admitting complete defeat in the Y/N debate. Unionism no longer has a case for itself. Nothing to offer at all. So it has dropped out of the fight. <br /><br />It is now not indy Scot vs union Scot, but Scotland vs England. The fight the nats can never lose. <br /><br />And so, like night follows day, Scots swing en masse to backing full independence 'tomorrow, no questions asked, plan free, you don't need a campaign or white paper, we are ready!'. <br /><br />A day for celebration as a new independence dawn is breaking for our nation.<br /><br />65% Yes / 35% No in the under 49s, and these people making a greater % of the electorate every day in an utterly unstoppable manner. The UK is utterly fucked. It's over.<br /><br />As the old saying goes, 'no racist English fascist shite will stand in the way of the march of a nation'.
