And around 25 percent said it was the promise of new powers for the devolved Scottish Parliament that would result in "the best of both worlds".

Well, they fell in, didn't they, as tory blue, tory red and tory....whatever backpedal as fast as they can........!!

Typical that the old bastards fucked it up for Scotland. They should be giving the future generation what they want instead of being allowed to vote for the old ways

Twitter data backed this up

Frightened people voting for the devil we know

lol@data (2000 people). I was amused to see that SNP put all of their eggs into the nationalist basket instead of focusing on the likes of economic policy, currency, finances etc... I was laughing at the fear that businesses would up and eff-off, primarily as Scotland would have been able to set it's own taxation "terms". Tax free haven anyone? Anyway, they fought the wrong fight and should have fought for the minds instead.

Club Orlov has a nice little post last week.......

..............If you had told someone on September 10, 2001 that ten years later America would be running $1.5 trillion annual deficits, fighting two wars of choice in countries that despise our presence, and had not only not addressed the $100 [trillion] of unfunded welfare liabilities but added billions more with Medicare D and Obamacare, they would have thought you were a crazy doomster predicting the end of the world. They would have put you away in a padded cell if you had further predicted that politicians would cut taxes three separate times, that the Wall Street banks that leveraged themselves 40 to 1 and destroyed the financial system [would be] handed $2 trillion of taxpayer funds so they could pay themselves multi-million dollar bonuses, and that the Federal Reserve would triple its balance sheet to $2.45 trillion by running its printing presses at hyper-speed and handing the money to those same Wall Street Mega-Banks...........

Back to the question of stupidity: Why are we (as a country) being so fucking stupid? This question has puzzled me for some time. It appears that the problem of stupidity is quite pervasive: look at any large human organization, and you will find that it is ruled by stupidity. I was not the first to stumble across the conjecture that the intelligence of a hierarchically organized group of people is inversely proportional to its size, but so far the mechanism that makes it so has eluded me. Clearly, there is something amiss with hierarchically organized groups, something that causes all of them to eventually collapse, but what exactly is it? To try to get at this question, last year I spent quite a while researching anarchy, and wrote a series of articles on it (Part I, Part II, Part III). I discovered that vast hierarchies do not occur in nature, which is anarchic and self-organizing, with no chains of command and no entities in supreme command. I discovered that anarchic organizations can go on forever while hierarchical ones inevitably end in collapse.............

Well Mr Krugman, it's called an entitlement complex... boner and his chums believe that they have earned what they have acquired (they haven't, they've stolen it) and that they have accrued what they have in a fair way and that anyone who does not put in the equivalent effort and yield the same result is to be deemed as less entitled to everything. That they believe that their input is more important than those who keep the lights on in the u.s. is hilarious as they could not survive without those who they deem to be less entitled (whilst using the "free market" and legislation to underpin their pathetic need to be superior). NZ is becoming the u.s., just as the u.k. did before it and the sheep, using the keeping up with the jones's mantra, keep on following what they believe is a recipe for producing success. Idiotic at best, but hey, some people just don't have the capacity for rational thought coz it would require that they also felt.

Sigh.
