Analisi post voto

e opinione del grande David Byrne (Talking Heads), che scemo non è

Yesterday, Scotland voted whether or not to remain part of Britain. By 5am today it was pretty clear that the “No’s” had it—no to independence. However, the vote was close enough that even Cameron has to acknowledge that the dissatisfaction in the North will have to be assuaged. One hopes he means it. I’m not so sure.

London and the South is dominated by old school politics and Tory conservatives, many of whom all went to school together—the English old boy network never really went away. A lot of the independence movement was about Scotland feeling that for decades they had conservative policies and economic structures forced upon them, and many were just emotionally fed up with it. Glasgow traditionally has always been more socialist working class, as a former home of shipyards and all the rest. They voted “Yes.”

I heard one crew member here at the NT say that if they lost Scotland then Britain would lose a huge block of liberal left voters, and the Tories would dominate easily.

Could Scotland economically go it alone? I wonder. They don’t have a strategic financial plan with North Sea oil the way Norway does—a factor that allows that country to say, “fuck you,” to the EU. And Scotland has a lot of far-flung small towns and islands, so the costs of infrastructure—schools, roads, cables, health and all the rest—might have added costs because of that geography.

As far as immigration goes, Scotland was, I was told, considering a different immigration policy from England. One could imagine that if Scotland admitted more Croatians or Romanians than England, that England might then feel obliged to tighten their border with Scotland: have controls and require passport checks and all the rest.

If the vote had gone for independence then there is a good chance Cameron would have been obliged to resign, although he said he wouldn’t. The Queen doesn’t usually get involved, but one can imagine she’d be pretty annoyed at a prime minister who presided over the breakup of the Homeland.

visto che nel nostro sondaggio la scozia e' indipendente (6 si 4 no).... propongo l' abolizione delle tasse per le bottiglie dirette in italia, proprio per favorire il consumo da parte di chi puo' spendere solo 80 euro al mese generosamente erogati dal governo italiano per far girare meglio l' economia.....
Dato che a me non li hanno dati, mi dovro' acconentare di scroccare un po' di nardini.... :D :D :D

in pratica la scozia e' un paese di vecchi..... che hanno paura per le loro pensioni e non vogliono rinunciare alla sterlina..... boh tutto sommato hanno ragione..... magari avrebbero avuto dei vantaggi ad essere indipendenti, ma anche dei grossi svantaggi economici nell' immediato..... visto che le banche e le grandi aziende avrebbero tenuto le leggi britanniche spostando la sede legale......
non ci resta che annegare il dispiacere della mancata indipendenza in un buon bicchiere di single malt
