Scotland has voted to stay in the United Kingdom after voters decisively rejected independence.

With the results in from all 32 council areas, the "No" side won with 2,001,926 votes over 1,617,989 for "Yes".

Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond called for unity and urged the unionist parties to deliver on more powers.

Prime Minister David Cameron said he was delighted the UK would remain together and said the commitments on extra powers would be honoured.

Mr Cameron said the three main unionist parties at Westminster would now follow through with their pledge of more powers for the Scottish Parliament.

"We will ensure that those commitments are honoured in full," he said.

I've thus far seen about 4 different video's confirming Voting Fraud.

Visuals cannot be contested.

I haven't looked at those videos yet.  One of us Brits should post a thread about it really.  Any takers?

All I will say is that both sides may have had a few bad eggs trying to fix the count.  There is no way to know whether it has been widespread but the vote was won by hundreds of thousands so I doubt a few wrongly counted votes would swing the result.  There would have to be a lot of cheating to swing that.

What the votes or the videos?

It would not surprise me if there has been some cheating.  Look at the sort of cheating that happens in the US in places like Florida LOL.  In the states they don't even use the same way of voting everywhere.   :o

I know that an old workmate of mine was told by the Police that if they filmed someone vandalising their car with their camcorder they could not use it as evidence in court.  I have no idea why though as it makes a mockery of the law.  Someone can make something up and testify it in court to prosecute you but a film is not admissible.  Seems a bit odd to me.

That is odd, I'll investigate the matter another time..

LOL!  I have more than a few UK friends who wished there had been faud and they voted YES.  "No" was not the optimal outcome for even the non-Scots.

I don't 'wish' there was fraud.

I just KNOW there WAS FRAUD.

Democracy is dead, haven't you heard?

The English tax payer would not have had to continue to subsidise free higher education grants and care for the elderly if the vote was yes.  Tax payers in England get less per capita spent on them that the Welsh, N Irish  or Scots as things stand.

Submarines can move.  I think they had a plan for that and one of the naval bases is adaptable to that purpose (they have to have an alternative base in case that one is hit in a war).  Imagine the rich English toffs who had land nearby - they would have hated having nukes near them devaluing the land.
