Scotland might just show the rest of us the way to reset social democracy

Just a simple question.....Don't the people who vote over there fold their ballots before putting it in the box?
I just checked...
Once you have arrived at a polling station, you will be asked to provide your name and address to a member of staff. You will then be given a piece of paper with the question: "Should Scotland be an independent country?" Select 'Yes' or 'No' by putting an 'X' in the relevant box.
When you have marked your vote, fold the ballot paper in half and put it in the ballot box. Do not let anyone see your vote.
There are 32 local authority areas in Scotland and turnout is expected to be high.
Scottish independence referendum: How to vote - Scottish independence - UK - The Independent
Now in those "Cheating" videos, none of the voting sheets appear to have been folded....
Any thoughts???
Getting kind of Communist around here ain't it.
Putin is a total scumbag, but why is that a surprise? He's former KGB.

Yep, maybe while he's out flying around the Bering Sea, it might be in order for someone to drop a "firecracker" on the Kremlin! -
I just love Putin defenders who reside in Canada.
Go live in Russia if it's so great.
Bet you won't.
Cus it aint...

I know a guy who worked there in the real estate business. Said one puts their life at risk during the conveyance process. Very much a cesspool of criminals.
Yeah, it isn't good. The one guy I know was a trucker there and he and his wife had to leave, because the guy who was extorting him was going to be retiring and the new guy that would be extorting him wanted a lot more.
Do you think the counters unfold them before deciding what pile it belongs in?
One, you just made yourself the biggest retard of the last 200 years.
Was he from the 'West'?
Nobody denies what went on after the collapse in '91 and the West started to 'look for opportunities' in their usual underhanded fashion.
For it to be Russians that would mean the USSR never fell, it put on a new shirt like ISIS did when they were given Iraq to rule.
No, getting a little thick on you bullcrap though.
Being head of the KGB would mean there are no secrets. The term scumbag would apply to this fuking creep under your own 'logic'.

You can't base predict what will happen in Scotland based on what happened in Quebec. Both are very different places with very different circumstances.
The YES side can claim what they want, but the people have made their choice. The NO side can easily claim that the YES side were a bunch of liars who tried to sell a false vision of an independent Scotland being a socialist paradise and a land of milk and honey, and that the canny Scots were just not stupid enough to fall for it.
As for there being another referendum soon, that is not going to happen. It has already been conceded that it will be many decades until there is even the chance of another referendum.
It just has to be accepted that the thuggish, bigoted Scots Nats LOST this referendum big time and it's now time to move on from it. You cannot hold a referendum, lose it, then not accept the defeat and force the people to have another referendum and make sure they vote the "right" way this time. That's what the EUSSR did to Ireland when the Irish voted AGAINST the Lisbon Treaty in a referendum but then the EUSSR forced the Irish to take the referendum again until they voted in favour of it.
The Scots Nats have lost and it's time to accept the defeat, move on, and stop whingeing about it.
Not only that, but focus is now shifting on England and how to solve the West Lothian Question and to give England devolution - like Scotland, Wales and NI - or even Home Rule.
The Scots have had their place in the sun and the government now needs to look at the needs of the English, Welsh and Northern Irish. The Scottish tail must stop wagging the UK dog.
I wonder if people would have been complaining that the Scottish referendum was "rigged" had the Scots voted for independence.
I have a feeling that there'd be no talk of a rigged referendum then.
Also, if it HAD been partly rigged in some council areas, we do not know who who rigged it. It could well have been the Scottish nationalists who had tried to rig it in THEIR favour.
Don't forget that the Scots Nats were up to all sorts of dirty tricks to try and get people to vote YES, resorting to bullying and intimidation, even physical assault. Some polling stations were daubed with grafitti saying "VOTE YES OR ELSE!". Some Scottish nationalists were even arrested for attacking people in polling booths just because those people were voting NO.
So you have no idea who it was who may have been rigging this election. If parts of it were rigged, I would put my bet on it being the Scots Nats.
ya can't make this sh!t up:

Jean Chrétien, the Liberal prime minister who led Canada during the 1995 Quebec referendum, tells CBC Radio's The House the U.K. government sought his advice ahead of Thursday's referendum.

If Quebec has another referendum, the best thing the Canadian government can do is call Gordon Brown. When the NO campaign went behind in the polls for the first time two or three weeks ago, they wheeled out the big guns, and there aren't much bigger guns on the British political scene these days than Gordon Brown. It is almost certainly his brilliant rousing speeches in support of the Union which won it for the NO side. So if the NO side in any future Quebec independence referendum ever need help, then call Gordon "Big Clunking Fist" Brown.
The only two good things that Brown ever did as both Chancellor and PM was to keep Britain out of the euro and Scotland in Britain.
James Gordon Brown was born in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, on 20th February 1951 (he shares the same birthday as my dad).
His father was John Ebenezer Brown, a minister of the Church of Scotland and a strong influence on Brown. He died in December 1998, aged 84.
His mother, Jessie Elizabeth Brown (née Souter), known as Bunty, died on 19th September 2004, aged 86. She was the daughter of John Souter, a timber merchant.
So yes, the former Chancellor and PM is one of Mrs Brown's Boys.
