RED light to Scottish independence!

 

 

The Scottish voted NO to independence. The Union Jack can still be seen. No turning off here!

 

The future of Scotland will be decided in the referendum on independence on 18 September 2014.

Following an agreement between the Scottish and the United Kingdom governments, the Scottish independence Referendum Bill, setting out the arrangements for this referendum, was passed by the Scottish Parliament in November 2013. The referendum question, as recommended by the Electoral Commission, will be "Should Scotland be an independent country?" – voters can answer only Yes or No. To pass, the independence proposal requires a simple majority. With some exceptions, all residents in Scotland aged 16 or over can vote, a total of about 4.3 million people.
