This is what it looks like when you plot life expectancy next to %Yes vote in the indyref by local authority

yes lost the any chance because they couldn't get the turnout in their key areas Glasgow and Dundee.  Nothing to do with any poll imo.

Even if Dundee and Glasgow has turned out more it wouldnt have made a difference overall but it would obv have made it narrower.  I actually think that the Mail has a point for once.  Scotland will get basically devomax without having to vote for it because the party leaders panicked on the basis of very little evidence that they were going to lose the vote.

I'm going to miss Kmac and his one-eyed rants. It was some achievement to succeed in making Woodsey appear to be the voice of reason.

Very successful meeting yesterday and when these powers the quislings voted for don't materialise we will be ready for round 2.

Yup the bile and nonsense is clearly still there.

So much nonsense being spouted on social media - and by some do called politicians - about vote rigging. And so much bleating and hatred from the folk who, when they thought they might win, we're saying let's all get together and have a cuddle afterwards. Bad losers much?

And as for the hatred directed at the older folk who voted No in their droves. Is it possible, just faintly possible, that they might be wiser and more experienced than the 16 year olds who voted Yes?

And folk trying to boycott businesses who were brave enough to tell the truth despite the intimidation of the Yessers. Is this Sillars' Day of Reckoning. Vile bunch really.

Extra powers will come, that's certain........it's political suicide not to.
Might not be able to keep to the extremely tight timetable, as Cameron has check raised Milliband, however overseeing Lord Smith of Kelvin is surely good to see the process through.

That is not at all patronising to younger voters then

Yeah I guess it is, and there are many who made an excellent contribution to the debate, but the older folk do not deserve the nastiness that's been directed at them. I don't think that just because you turn 60 you turn into a feeble minded fool, which is what has been implied by some.

So 55% of the country are "quislings" are they? How is that even possible? Is it just a word you learned from a big boy?
If you believe the Nos were motivated by fear let me assure you far more were afraid of your vision than Darling managed to influence.
Furthermore,given that you were canvassing Glasgow ,you must surely consider your efforts a total failure as you barely achieved a 75% turn-out.
Perhaps you should find a new hobby.

Not them all, but the ones motivated by greed a self worth most definitely.   My vocabulary is fairly well developed, and quisling wasn't really a word I felt too comfortable using before but the more I seen and heard it became apparent it was the best word to use. 

75% turnout in Glasgow was fantastic effort, in the areas I canvassed specifically we had a much increased turnout than ever before.  Things could always have been better, but things are what they are now.  I hope your not one of those pensioners that will have to rely on chosing between eating and heating in the winter.

Wetherspoons Thursday Curry and a Pint for £6 was a bad day clash to get the Glasgow lefties out of the pub.  Think they performed miracles to get 75% there.
