In reply to IainRUK:
> For sure.. what I don't like is this 'you traitor'.. accusation.. which was heard in the you tube link.. I think thats why the NO is generally quieter on Facebook especially.. people are almost ashamed to say NO.
My daughter's are not afraid to say No.One of my 3 daughter's is yes, one No , and the other is undecided)
I have been 'lobbied' by a restaurant business owner in Mallaig who was quite happy to tell every customer in his premises that he was a No, voter, and he did not appear to worry about anyone abusing him, or taking their trade elsewhere, or being perceived as a 'traitor'. Which of course he is not.
> But both leaders should stamp it out..
Agreed ( if it is indeed in their control to do so ) I'm sure they will, as it hinders their argument.
> I looked at both camps FB pages today and both were full of misinformation.. pretty disgusting state of affairs..
I don't look at politics on Facebook ( I just use it talk to my relations down under) but I'm sure you are right.
> Thats where I saw the 'the No have made no promises' argument.. its just ludicrous. They can only say why the Union is good.
The pro union parties HAVE promised more powers for a no vote, but it is rather unclear what is exactly on offer, and it is not consistent across the parties, and ultimately , like the Yes camp's view of the future, not in any way guaranteed.
Which sides' 'pig in a poke' would you like to vote for ?
> Its like each side excuses such behaviour because the other side is at it.. I know its been claimed this is Westminster Childish behaviour but the YES side aren't acting any better.
I believe the 'bad behaviour' has been publicly decried by the Scottish Minister presumably on behalf of the Yes camp. I assume ( without checking) that bad behaviour from the No camp will also have been similarly rejected by them too. )
Either way, as I said below, such behaviour , and it is quite small when you are aware of the huge amount of debate that is going on) only favours the other side of the argument.
I was in an affluent area of Glasgow today, and there was both No and Yes camps stalls in the town centre, I saw people getting information from both without any problems, no shouting or heckling at all. ( I politely accepted leaflets from both)
(Criminal acts, from either side, will hopefully be prosecuted .)
