No word yet. Probably the NOs will have it. The wild card is the youth. The voting age was lowered in Scotland to 16. Therein is the wildcard. The “NOs” they are calling the silent traitors who think the Scottish are incapable of standing up alone. They are quiet – not vocal – but may […]

The Scottish vote will be very important from the perspective that this will shake up the entire concept behind Brussels if they vote YES. Throughout Europe, the same civil unrest is rising as discontent every where.. Even if the vote is “NO” and the people accept that they are incapable of self-rule as second-rate citizens, […]
