Pissflaps posted:But it wasn't. Yes lost by 10%. That's not close. 44.7% to 50.1% to win is 5.4%, If Yes lost by 10% that would mean the vote total for Yes is 39.7% If you keep the actual Yes Vote result at 44.7% while saying they lost by 10% that means they would of had to reach 10.9% which would put the amount of votes for Yes at 55% and No Vote as 45% to win it which isn't part of the condition otherwise you would have the total votes be 105% for the current voting results if Yes lost by 10% which isn't mathimatically possible in a referendum. MrL_JaKiri posted:The 2008 American election, for example, was regarded as "decisive" and was 53-46. It's decisive because it actually has one side having more then the other.

Pissflaps posted:The difference between 45 and 55 is 10. The amount of votes for Yes to win would of been 50.1% which is 5.1% to win which is 5% rounded. MrL_JaKiri posted:This is not how people measure points gaps in politics. People don''t realise that in order to win a referendum based on getting 50.1% when a side has 45% of the votes is to gain 5.1% more? Yea I know I've talked with the average Brit. MrL_JaKiri posted:For one thing, people don't use "decisive" to mean "a decision was reached". http://www.dictionary.com/browse/decisive quote:adjective: decisive Actually yes it is. MrL_JaKiri posted:For another thing, I was suggesting they were antonyms whereas you're implying I was suggesting they were synonyms. So you were being sarcastic in text. MrL_JaKiri posted:In summation, you are doing a poo poo impression of Pissflaps being obtusely pendantic and I claim my five poonds. I didn't realise that disagreeing with someone is preety much up there with being a poo poo pissflaps clone. Also you can have your five poonds but it's all in Marx and are equally worthless. Namtab posted:I think the thing extremo is confused about relates to the fact that in a strictly binary choice the percentage of the options always add up to 100, so for option 1 to be 55 option 2 has to be 45, which he thinks is a difference of only 5% of the electorate as a result or something. That's because a strictly binary choice is more logical then whatever the hell you guys are suggesting. Bloody humans. MrL_JaKiri posted:Except that also assumes that the voting population is constant and some people are just changing their minds, which is clearly not how it works. How the hell can you change your mind and change the result after the vote happened. Extreme0 fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Jun 1, 2016 |

Pissflaps posted:The problem is then concluding that the gap between the two votes was this lower number, rather than the ten it was. The gap between the two sides is 10% yes but the gap for Yes to have won was 5.1% so Yes lost by 5.1% MrL_JaKiri posted:It's literally weird, in that stating it in that way is very unusual and not how it's done. But it's still correct regardless. Namtab posted:The swing was five, but the difference in the percentage of the electorate who voted for "no" rather than "yes" is 10. My god Einstein's alive!

I want Remain to win for various reasons, especially if Scotland and NI narrowly manages to pull away the rUK from leaving. It would be so loving great to see them foaming about Scots "RUININ OUR COUNTRY" after they convinced them to stay. If Leave wins then I think I can justify my hatred of the British identity even more to the point I wouldn't give a poo poo if someone British gets hurt/killed by an angry Scot. but that will never happen because the best that Scotland has to that is the Scottish Resistance who's biggest accomplishment is camping outside George Square for a few days before getting kicked out by the council.

Coohoolin posted:There's always this name to be revived. quote:In June 2009, Adam Busby Jr., the son of the SNLA founder, was jailed for 6 years for sending a total of 6 packages to various political figures, including First Minister Alex Salmond, Liberal Democrats MSP Mike Rumbles and Glasgow City Council. The packages contained shotgun cartridges and threatening notes. Police linked the crimes to Busby after calls made to journalists claiming SNLA responsibility for the actions were traced to his mobile phone. We want Indepedence so much we will threaten the person who is trying to achieve Indepedence. Genius. That group is so retarded it's no surprise it's hosed. Saint Isaias Boner posted:It's amusing to see a second Scottish independence referendum talked about as a given if Leave wins. I'm pretty certain that Westminster will just tell them to go to hell if they ask for it. I no doubt that Westminister will just tell them off but I couldn't give a poo poo regardless. Julio Cruz posted:On the other hand, if Scotland leaves that's 57 fewer seats for a potential Labour coalition government. You mean one seat right?

Namtab posted:Also Scots are British people Yes they are. namesake posted:No matter what votes take place Scotland will always be part of the British Isles and so probably will be considered British. The Island of Great Britain, not the British Isles. Otherwise you're including Ireland which is it's own seperate thing. I no doubt people will still consider themselves british regardless as an identity to a cultural/neighbourly thing similar to Scandinavia. I just don't consider myself British even though my passport says I am. We do have things called preferences. Jippa posted:UKMT June 2016: I'm just saying I don't care if they die, what is weird about that? Not many British people give a poo poo about tons of people drowning in the ocean right now. It was only till a small boy in the beach where everyone started crying their little black hearts out. Then the cologne attacks happened and they went back to immigrant blaming 101. Pantsuit posted:That guy fantasising about Scots killing the English or whatever is hilarious and probably identifies as socialist/left wing. Why would the destruction of a force for evil make you so angry? Because British voters are incompetent. I rather have the EU then Westminister if you gave me a choice. mediadave posted:But that's a stupid differentiation - if you asked me if I considered myself Scottish or Glaswegian I'd probably have to choose Scottish...does that mean I don't consider myself Glaswegian too? I think she meant Scottish Only/Scottish First as to why it's high as people tend to lump it as being Scottish over British.

big scary monsters posted:Yeah I'm sorry that was actually not called for on my part, I can only offer as excuse that I'm super jetlagged and sleep deprived and not at my best. I think I understand what you mean even if I wouldn't put it quite like you did in your other post. With so much lovely stuff happening all the time it is difficult to feel strongly for each and every case of a bad thing affecting a person you don't know personally. You have every right to to be pissed off at me regardless as my comment was insensitive enough to receive the responses it did. But I'm at the point where I stopped caring about what people might feel when I say something that's considered offensive. When I learned that Jo Cox was murdered it didn't recieve much of a responce from me other then it made me puzzled as to why she died. It was only till information that a British far-right nutter killed her that I started getting angry due to how there was no justifiable reason for this course of action other then illogical impulses. When I first heard the news my first thoughts was speculating rather then being emotional over her death. Maybe I'm desensitised to human misery or maybe I'm starting to become a apathetic psycho/sociopath. Who knows really. Saint Isaias Boner posted:corbyn will have to step down after this shameful result You jest but I no doubt that someone will blame Corbyn for this and Jo Cox's death. Pissflaps posted:She'd also be showing herself not to care what most people who voted in the Scottish independence referendum think either. Preety sure most people voting no also would assume that the EU wasn't going to be risked. https://twitter.com/UK_Together/status/506899714923843584 Preety amusing that the Yes Campaign were right about the Tories getting in and a EU referendum was going to happen as a result. They didn't get Farage in coalition though so that's 2/3. Pissflaps posted:This happened in Catelonia already if you want to see what happens in this scenario. The only thing I can see a referendum without WM approval having some sort of legitimacy is if everyone was forced to vote on the issue to make sure that a fair number of people got their say because like you said it was only the indy Catelonians that took part which really isn't enough of a voting turnout for an illegitmate referendum to cause change. I mean I doubt that the referendum would still achieve anything even if there is a diffirence in voting with a high enough turnout unless things get violent paramiltary style. I also assume that Sturgeon talking to EU officals was a motive to increase the likeihood of people changing their minds but that will only happen if the EU and SNP agreed on a deal and I very, very much doubt it considering the SNP may want some sort of opt-outs like the Euro to not scare off voters. I can see the EU being bitter enough to screw the UK though. Of course the other possiblity in the result of a leave vote is to keep Scotland in the UK but in the EU as well. How the hell that would work I'm not sure. feedmegin posted:I mean what are they going to do, send in the tanks? How's that going to look abroad? Uh...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_George_Square I mean the Scottish Government can declear UDI as it's not breaking international law (not that it means much). But they have to be prepared for a huge shitstorm similar to the Irish easter rising and the SNP don't have the balls to actually start training and arm people to retaliate for that so they would just get swiftly arrested for it. TomViolence posted:Why are yo u so care tho falps ?? He dosen't want his fanfiction of the UK falling apart. TinTower posted:Cameron should've really accepted the four-nation lock on the referendum if he wanted to keep the United Kingdom a) United and b) in the EU.

TinTower posted:An actual federal solution would have been better but the Tories have been blocking that for six years in favour of the undemocratic "city region mayor" bullshit. An actual federal solution would of actually made the Indepedence question almost a moot point because most people would be for it.
