My family didn't want independence so Scotland voted to stay. Really pretty simple.

First is the Scots’ dislike of being ruled from London and a London-based government. The fear is that too many of the decisions that affect Scots are made from a parliament too far away and too centred on financial services, property values and “the City”. This is compounded somewhat when the UK returns a Conservative (Tory) government when there are virtually no Scottish Conservative MPs*.
The second is “we have lots of money from North Sea oil, so we’ll be alright”.
The third is “we hate the fucking English, just fuck off and leave us alone”.
The pro-unionist (“No”) side was a simpler argument, vote No for certainty, or Yes for a total unknown future with an unknown economy, unknown relationship with the rest of the UK and EU, unknown currency, unknown security and defence. And they threw in a massive bribe at the 11th hour to give more powers and money to Scotland.
So, unless you really hated the English, the safer bet was to vote No. No conspiracy - if anything the vote was rigged towards Yes with pretty nasty hate campaign run by Yes side to intimidate voters.
* In fact the Conservatives have 16% of the Scottish vote, only 3% behind and the SNP share of 19%, but only have 1 MP due to the first past the post system (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Un...ts_in_Scotland)

Bet OP thinks that the GMO California labeling initiative was rigged as well. Lol. Just because polls showed it leading 65-35 doesn't mean it always wins idiots.
So wait, there is a big conspiracy and bgc is saying that it is false?
I thought the oil was projected to last for 30ish years? What then? Probably a smart move to stay on the Brits tit.
England fans at a game in Switzerland giving their view of 'the then' forthcoming vote.
Wonder if America will ever give Canada the vote?
Think the "No" vote was massively helped by the biased BBC and Sky News...They went into huge overdrive after the "Yes" Campaign dragged it back in the polls.
The misinformation used by all sides during UK elections is scandalous at times.... But that's just a standard tactic used everywhere I think.
What would bother me is - if campaigns were open to receive unlimited funds from big businesses. That's just ridiculously wrong on so many levels.
Also politicians pandering to religious nuts. Madness, and glad we don't have that problem.
Even the Bank of Scotland said they would move their headquarters to England. The same thing happened during the Quebec vote. All the big corporations and money would move from the newly independent country. That's why Texas separatists are lol.
